Apples weather app will never display the number 69

There has to be another reason. Maybe Apple is polling weather data from another source that has a slight variation in measurements or something.

I refuse to believe they're tampering with the data just to avoid slight smirks by whoever thinks of a sex joke. That would be too moronic. But again, it's the same company that made Discord remove NSFW content for iOS users so... Not a nice thing to do Apple.

It sounds like the app always requests the weather in Celsius from the API before converting to Farenheit and rounding up

That'd make perfect sense, actually. 20°C = 68.0°F, 21°C = 69.8°F which rounds up to 70. No anti-niceness conspiracy here, just math.

These are the people who made the gun emoji a squirt gun.......

I just went through a bunch of random cities on Apple’s Weather app to double check, and found an instance where 69° is indeed shown: https://imgur.com/a/KPz6PCX
