Temperature on lock/home screen

Does the iPhone have weather apps that show the temperature on the icon on your home screen?


Android had a live widget with time and ten right there so I had the time and temp in the middle of my home screen in big letters,


Now, I have to right swipe to action screen and scroll down through 10 things to see basic information that was right there on my Samsung.

You can display certain widgets on the Today screen on the iPhone, which is what you are referring to when you swipe. The only thing that displays directly on the Lock screen is the time and date. As far as scrolling down 10 things, that is a decision you make as to what widgets you display there. You can tap on the Edit button and delete things you do not want, and you also have the option to move things up and down that list. You could place the weather at the top of the list if you wish.

The difference between Android and Apple. If it is that important it is a deal breaker, I would suggest you move back to Android. You are going to find differences in devices and systems. There are differences in the different versions of Android OS, as well as the different carriers add to their systems as well.

Maybe it is just because that is what Im used to but that seems like a basic thing that should be on my home screen.

This is a completely legit requirement. Apple watch shows weather way all times and you have much more flexibility for settings of widgets than on iPhones

The iPhone does not show anything else on the lock screen. The only exception is the widgets that you can add to the Today screen you can access from the lock screen. That can provide you with Weather, as one of the choices.
