iWeather turns the forecast into an almanac: warm paper tones, clear type and one colour for every kind of sky. Open it and you know what the day has in store at a glance. THE DAY AT A GLANCE • A short sentence sums up the weather: "Cloudy and mild. Rain returns tomorrow afternoon." • Current temperature, high and low, feels like, humidity, wind and UV in one view. • Every city has its own colour and symbol, so your list reads like a page of an almanac. RAIN IN THE NEXT HOUR • Know when rain starts and stops, minute by minute, where available. • Hour-by-hour forecast for temperature, rain chance and wind, with a ribbon you can scrub through. • 10-day forecast with a detailed page for every day. LIVE WEATHER MAPS • Precipitation, temperature, wind and cloud layers on a full-screen map. • See all your saved cities on the map at once. MAKE IT YOURS • Choose which modules to show and in what order: next hour, hourly, 10 days, map, UV, sun, moon, clouds, wind, precipitation, humidity, feels like, pressure, visibility, air quality, climate and how today compares with the average. • Celsius or Fahrenheit. Wind and pressure follow your region's units. METEO AI • Ask in your own words: "Do I need an umbrella tomorrow?" or "When is the best day for a trip to the coast?" • Answers come from the real forecast for your cities, powered by Apple Intelligence: on your device, or with Private Cloud Compute for longer questions. • Dictate your question if you prefer. WEATHER ALERTS • Official severe weather alerts for your cities, when they are issued. EVERYWHERE YOU ARE • iPhone, iPad and Mac, each with a layout made for its screen. • Designed for iPhone Duo: open, the list and the full detail sit side by side; closed, everything fits the cover screen. • Apple Watch: your cities, the next hours and Meteo AI on your wrist. • Widgets in every size for the Home Screen, including Extra Large on iPad and widgets on Mac. • Siri and Shortcuts: ask for the weather, the rain or the alerts without opening the app. PRIVATE AND SIMPLE • No account and no sign-in. • Your cities and settings sync through iCloud across your devices. Weather data provided by Apple Weather. Meteo AI requires a device compatible with Apple Intelligence.

The clearest difference is ads: Tiny Weather at none against iWeather's shown. Tiny Weather also leads on review sentiment (97% vs 67%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 27.0). iWeather's advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.
