Temperature would be extremely useful... if not for the fact that I typically store my cellphone millimeters away from my body.

If temperature were useful, then humidity would be as well because then you could calculate local humidex.

It would have more to do with the temperature of the CPU and/or battery than anything dealing with the outside temperature.

Why? My phone tends to be warm because of body heat most of the time. Yeah, the shell can sometimes get warm under load, but that’s the exception. I would guess that if not for body heat and with the right placement a temperature sensor could get useful data.

However, with the phone nearly always being transported so close to the body I really don’t see it being useful.
