    iPhone 13 mini True tone turns screen yellowish?

    Hello, just got an iphone 13 mini and compared it an old SE. At first glance I noticed the SE was much brighter and also white was white, while the 13 mini had a yellow tint. After some googling I found out about turning True Tone off in the brightness settings, which improves whites a lot on...

    iPhone 13 Pro Max Is iPhone still color accurate with True Tone turned off?

    Hello All, I was just wondering if True Tone turned off still made the display color accurate. They boast "most color accurate display", but does that mean TT is on or off, or does it matter? Thanks!

    iPad Pro Can’t decide between my 2020 12 inch or 11 - which screen quality is better

    Hey guys, so I got both the 12 and the 11 and I’m super OCD when it comes to clear white displays with even backlighting. Which display do you think is better based on the pics? In person the 12 inch seems to have a colder white, but does the 11 inch look yellow to y’all? The photos are with and...

    Why doesn't the 2018 MacBook Air have True Tone display?

    2018 MacBook Pro have it, even the Touch Bar have it. The 2018 MacBook Air have the T2 Chip and Touch ID. I see no reasons why Apple omitted this feature.

    iPhone XR iPhone XR & True Tone display

    Former iPhone 6s user here. Having spent the last 2 days with the new iPhone XR, I am just wondering what other's thoughts are on the True Tone display? My impression is that somehow with the True Tone enabled, I feel that colour is generally 'warmer' than my iPhone 6s, to the extent that I...

    True Tone seems to work on non-Apple/Ultrafine monitors, or is it only half working?

    Apple's support document https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208909 says: "True Tone can also adjust these external displays when they're connected to your MacBook Pro with its lid open: Apple Thunderbolt Display, using the Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 adapter LG UltraFine 5K...

    iPad Pro True Tone Reccomendations?

    Hi All! Just got an iPad Pro 10.5. First device I've owned with the True Tone display. I am just wondering if I should enable it? I like colors to be as accurate as possible because I do photo-editing. Am I better off with or without. Any and all suggestions welcomed!

    True Tone for iPhone 7

    Is there any way to get Apple to enable the True Tone feature on iPhone 7, which should be totally fine supporting it? If I just “request a feature” from Apple, it might get lost in the sea of requests they get. Can we make a group request if enough people are interested?

    iPad Pro True Tone is more subtle in Photos.app

    I was quickly switching from app-to-app this evening and noticed that Photos.app appears to have a much more subtle True Tone effect compared to other apps. I've seen many users saying that they don't like TT because of how it would effect image editing, etc. Looks like Apple has accounted for...

    iPad Pro True Tone is a Great Innovation

    Can we talk about how insanely great (yeah, I went there) True Tone is? I had to switch to my MacBook Pro/iPhone every few minutes during the setup process of my new iPad Pro to get two-factor authentication codes, and holy cow is it a major difference. I didn't realize just how stark all of...
