Just yesterday, Apple seeded iOS 9.3 beta 1 to developers. It is now available for download at the Apple Developer Center. Obviously, this will be the next public version for all iOS devices.
iOS 9.3 brings several big features, such as the Night Mode, 3D Touch shortcuts for iPhone 6s, security features for Notes app and more. Apart from that the beta 1 update also brings a bunch of other new features to the mobile operating system including landscape support for News app, new languages for Siri, Health app features and more.
With this new Night Mode that Apple has apparently called “Night Shift.” the iOS device will automatically shift its color tones to match the time of day. It will do this by automatically adjusting with the device’s clock and geolocation to keep tabs on when sunset is. The device will then shift the colors to the warmer end of the spectrum to make it easier to look at:
“Many studies have shown that exposure to bright blue light in the evening can affect your circadian rhythms and make it harder to fall asleep. Night Shift uses your iOS device’s clock and geolocation to determine when it’s sunset in your location. Then it automatically shifts the colors in your display to the warmer end of the spectrum, making it easier on your eyes. In the morning, it returns the display to its regular settings. Pleasant dreams.”
