This page aggregates measured, corroborated evidence: donors' iPhones recorded apps contacting this domain, every claim below was reported by separate accepted donations and published under a human verdict (later rows for an approved app inherit its verdict). A contact is a measurement, not an accusation — it does not show what data was sent.

What our research panel found AI-drafted · human-reviewed
We ask several independent AI models the same question and publish their answers separately — cross-vendor agreement is evidence against fabrication, and disagreement is worth seeing. 3 of 3 models answered, overall confidence high. A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.
Anthropic Claude — first-party
weather-edge.apple.com is a subdomain of apple.com, the same publisher as the app (bundle com.apple.weather), so it appears to be a first-party backend endpoint for weather data delivery rather than a third-party tracker; ownership was not supplied in the finding, so this rests on the apple.com registrable domain matching the app's publisher. Nothing here implies a data flow beyond the declared collection and sharing of device or other IDs, so it does not look undisclosed.
OpenAI — first-party
The domain is under apple.com and is most likely an Apple first-party Weather service endpoint. The provided label declares collection and sharing of Device or other IDs, so the contact alone does not establish an uncovered data flow.
Google Gemini — first-party
The domain weather-edge.apple.com is an official Apple endpoint used to deliver weather data directly to Apple's Weather app. As a first-party service domain, this network activity aligns with standard app operation and declared data practices.
