Weather app - different forecast, same location iPhone 6s and iPhone 12

Hi,

Any idea why the weather forecasts differ between my iPhone 12 and my wife's 6S? The 12 is on iOS 16.2, the 6S is on iOS 15.7.2 and Software Update says the 6S is up to date.

Thanks fr any help.

Cheers


iPhone 12

Thanks for your response. I've just checked, both forecasts are from My Location and both in Auckland. I've also just switched Location Services on in both and updated the forecasts. There is still a significant difference.


Perhaps Apple's contracts for the older phones are different to the later ones?

One possibility is if the Location in the weather app in one phone is set to "Auckland" and in the other phone it is set to "My Location" and that phone's location is somewhere in Auckland. The one set to My Location would give information more specific to the exact location within Auckland. Both screens would show the word Auckland and I note that the top screenshot does show it is actively using location services (arrow beside time at top left of screen).


The location setting is in the Weather app, tap the 3 line icon at the bottom right of the screen.
