So this article uses screenshots from weather.com, barely talks about the actual apple weather app, which just changed its data set from Weather.com, to the acquired Dark Sky.

Seems really odd, and like a possible PR fluff piece paid by IBM and Weather.com to try and convince people that the built-in weather app for iOS 15 will be somehow bad. When in fact it will have the same features as Weather.com+ for free.

Just feels wrong, and I can't entirely explain why.

Edit: Leaving the rest of this for posterity, on a second read through it seems that Apple is using weather.com as the weather app on iPados 15, which is just a confusing decision on their part.

Yes - when you click on the iPad Weather widget for more detail, it takes you to weather.com.
