Developing Patterns...
Posted Apr 7, 2014 - 9:22:09

So I discovered a feature in iOS7 that I had never noticed before on my iPhone. Apparently it learns from your behaviors and makes recommendations in your "today" section about it. Like, if you travel the same route every morning, it adds a time estimate for that trip based on your current location.

You can turn this feature off fairly easily, but the only reason I bring it up is that Sunday (when I went to check the temperature) I found my iPhone telling me exactly how long it would take to get to IHOP.

...because my iPhone knew it was Sunday, and it knew that at around that time I would want pancakes.

Which my wife and I did. So we got pancakes.

It was a bit eerie not knowing my phone did this though, and it made me laugh. I'll probably leave the feature on, but wow was I not expecting that.
