> Apple integrated the feature and they became comically inaccurate

Any clue why? Did broadening the pool of reporting devices from Dark Sky users to the general iPhone population somehow break their models?

It limited it-- DarkSky was on Android and iOS before Apple killed the service.

But IIRC, DarkSky stopped using phones altogether some time before Apple killed the service. I can't find a source on that given Apple also deleted DarkSky's blog, so, grain of salt.
