Doesn't really surprise me. I think Craig Federighi's software engineering group is probably more open user customization than the old regime was.

Seems like that was addressed in one of the other threads where you posted about this.
Then your only option is those websites which charge 5-10$ to get your imei into a dev plan.
It doesn't matter if f.lux is making money or not, they got it out first and changed the way users thought about blue screen and how to reduce impact on the circadian cycle.
What Apple did was a b---h move. Why block F.lux from going iOS and then do a 180 creating their own? Only thing allowed was the OS X version which is still in circulation and one in which I use. It's very effective.
And second, the poster I responded to didn't show sarcasm. If he did, he should've said so in the first place using an emoticon of sorts and then it would've been understood.
Yes, warmer but how much warmer. In theory more is better but it takes time to adjust. If you go to warm to soon it will feel weird and you'll just turn it off.
Put flux on your Mac and practice a bit. Start with a bit of adjustment and add more every few days.

That's not how it works. You're the one who posited that it was a placebo.
Your claim. That means *you* are responsible for providing evidence that it *is* a placebo.
Are you seriously of the opinion that "people who do color-accurate work" don't already know that changing the color profile of their display will change the color profile of their display?
The 'masses' are already used to the fact that their photos don't look quite the same when printed, viewed on other computers, in different lighting, etc. It won't be anything new for them. (They may or may not understand why, but the idea of the 'masses' suddenly being shocked/surprised by something that they've been observing for a couple decades is quite a stretch.)
I remember reading a blog post or something from the creator of f.lux where (s)he explained how (s)he used a feature like this on a different system and wanted to make a version for Mac, or that it was a paid app and (s)he wanted to make a free version, or something. f.lux didn't originate the idea.
It's nothing unusual that Apple prevents app developers from making features that Apple wants to make themselves. In this case it makes sense too, a feature like this requires low-level access to the OS which is something no 3rd-party developer gets, ever.
blue light ? really ? I fall asleep straight away without any help... This psychology crap has no effect on me.
...but i would enable this just to see the colors..
Good for you! Many of us are not as fortunate, I suffer from severe insomnia and f.lux on the Mac has been a huge help and alleviated some of it.
For someone who is not a professional, I do tons of photo editing on my Mac. I have F.lux installed, and I love it. In the past I just disabled it when I needed to work on photos at night, but I've since added my photography programs to the exclusion list (F.lux automatically disables when they have focus). Either way, the point is that even "people who do color-accurate work" can love F.lux.
The poster very very much showed sarcasm. It ended with a winking face, every person who liked his comment got - he was taking the mickey out of Apple constantly stealing 3rd party dev ideas - which they do many many times (including with my own app Auganizer) - just Google the term "Sherlocked" and you'll see.
Well, that comment might have been hyperbole but I feel like this feature was already long overdue and I'm happy Apple finally implemented it.
Why don't they just put in a dark theme for gods sake? It's not rocket science, it really isn't. I'd really love to sit down and have a conversation with the designers who decide to make everything blinding white on off white. Cool, so now when I use my phone in bed I will wake up my wife with the blinding white theme, but with less blue light maybe she will go back to sleep more quickly.
Does JB f.lux work on the older devices? If so, why can't they make it work on a iPad 4 and iPhone 5?
