ANYONE hoping for a white Christmas will want to make sure their iPhone is set up to be snow-ready.

The Weather app can also give you a timeline of precipitation overlaid on a mapCredit: AppleIt means you can make sure you have the best view of when the snow is coming.
And you can even get snow alerts so that you can be outside waiting for the first flakes to fall.
First, you’ll need to make sure you’re at least using a fairly recent version of Apple’s iPhone software: iOS 15.

This will flag incoming snow, and how far it is away.
Of course, you can also shift through the timeline to see how precipitation is mov ..
