The unbearable sorrow of Apple Weather

I’m being told the alignment is good when you’re using the default text size. I bumped mine up so long ago, I’d forgotten about it. Thanks for the heads-up; I’ll update the post shortly.

But I still don’t understand how alignment works. Don’t you need to account for text size when you position other items?

@drdrang yes but what you’re seeing is essentially a bunch of springs get compressed so the width of the weather icon/precipitation percentage affects the amount of horizontal space available for the chart. I’m not saying it’s a good design!
@nriley @drdrang One advantage of Apple's leadership being mostly in their 50s and 60s is that you'd think these layout problems with larger text sizes ought not to pass without notice.

@gruber @nriley @drdrang helping my mom use iOS and my apps with her large dynamic type on is how I got started getting serious about accessibility support. I have found some interesting issues with iOS and large text in the past.

@MuseumShuffle Yikes! That’s an especially bad one.
@drdrang yeah and the one about the contact poster was so confusing. If I wasn’t on top of all the changes as a developer I wouldn’t know what that ui was indicating either.
