My last phone from 2018 had like 48 sensors on it, including thermometer, so yeah that indeed is a thing. But obviously OP’s photo is showing Apple pulling numbers out of thin air from whatever weather station, not from any internal sensors.

Feels like OP thinks that iPhone has an built-in thermometer. It has not. AFAIK, no phone has that. All weather data is taken from internet.

A Kestral 2000 is a live thermometer. Doesn’t it seem weird that Apple is off by this much.

Did you read what I wrote? The phone doesn’t have a thermometer. Yes, it’s strange that it’s off, but I don’t know where Apple gets its weather data from.

I’m aware the phone does not have a thermometer. It doesn’t seem strange to you that it’s underreporting by that much?

No.
It’s always that far off where I live, as microclimate is a thing.
The averages from numerous sensors informs the phone app, while my local temp isn’t the same as my town average.
This is like logic 101
