Dark Sky’s Features on Apple Weather App Officially Shuts Down

Dark Sky's features on Apple Weather App officially shuts down for all the users

Apple has formally discontinued the well-known weather software Dark Sky. In April 2020, the Cupertino-based tech behemoth purchased Dark Sky. In September 2020, the firm took the weather app off the App Store, and it has since ceased to function for all of its customers.

After purchasing Dark Sky in 2020, Apple included its numerous capabilities in the Weather app that comes pre-installed on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The elements of Dark Sky have been included in Apple Weather. Apple Weather provides alerts, high-resolution radar, hourly forecasts for the next 10 days, next-hour precipitation, and hyperlocal predictions for your present location.

On devices running iOS 16, iPad 16, and macOS 13 Ventura, Apple Weather is accessible. Here are some pointers to get you started if you're new to Apple Weather, according to Apple. On March 31, Apple will stop providing access to the Dark Sky API for outside weather applications. Two months following its takeover, in July 2020, Dark Sky discontinued its Wear OS and Android apps.

Apple is reportedly developing new iPad Pro models, according to recent reports. The two new OLED iPad Pro versions are anticipated to go on sale in the first quarter of 2024, according to MacRumours. The source also said that the business plans to introduce the new iPad Mini at the same time as the new iPad Pro models in early 2024.

If the rumor is accurate, Apple will be increasing the screen size of iPad Pro models for the first time. To accomplish the aforementioned screen size, it is anticipated that the corporation may lower the bezel size.

In October 2022, Apple upgraded its 11-inch and 12.3-inch iPad Pro models by equipping them with the newest M2 processor.
