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
weatherkit.apple.com is an Apple-operated domain (Apple's WeatherKit service) contacted by Apple's own Weather app, so it is a first-party endpoint providing the app's core weather functionality. No undisclosed flow is evident: the contact is consistent with the app's declared collection/sharing of device IDs, and any additional data such as location would be expected for a weather service, though I cannot verify the payload from the information given.
OpenAI — first-party
weatherkit.apple.com is an Apple-controlled service domain used to provide weather functionality to Apple's Weather app. The provided label declares collection and sharing of Device or other IDs, so this contact alone does not establish an uncovered data flow.
Google Gemini — first-party
weatherkit.apple.com is a first-party endpoint operated by Apple to supply weather data to its native Weather app. The interaction is consistent with core app functionality and declared data practices.
