"This is a little app that showcases how a multi-trillion company like Apple Inc lies to you about your sleep average over six months to make you feel better"

I think a different tone and maybe assume there is good intent instead of immediately claiming it is something malicious (lies by a trillion dollar company) would help with the messaging.

I am curious. But how you present this doesn't really help.

> to make you feel better

Obviously that is the motive for the lie. 100% not a dev who can leetcode good but can't do basic math.

It is, however, proof that the app wasnt vibe coded (written BVC) - ai wouldnt make that mistake or lie to your like that.

Yeah. "They screwed up." is a much more credible explanation.

My 6 month data is definitely wrong but it is hilariously more wrong for the time periods I was traveling 6-8 time zones away from home where it's telling me I averaged from 6:05pm to 6:00pm (a cool 24 hours) while showing a graph that has an 8 hour window where I'm not sleeping.

Other than that it's somehow giving me an average of waking up around an hour later than I'd actually wake up.

It also lies about the weather.

Now is a good time to file a bug in Apple's Feedback Assistant. https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/

I was confused about why my average sleep duration over six months was so high, so I decided to investigate. I found out that, for some reason, the six-month calculation doesn’t use the actual number of days but instead uses the magic number 147 to calculate the average.
