Above the demonstration Apple can't please users on this forum ... Never....
I believe you can schedule it. That leaves only one difference with the f.lux app, there's no gradual transition from day to night mode.
If you look at an iPhone for fifty years, you start to lose your near vision. After 80-100 years of looking at iPhones, a significant number of users develop cataracts. Near or total blindness is also associated with using iPhones for more than a century.
I've had the 9.3 beta for a few days and I'm really liking Night Shift. However, I can think of things that would be better fits for Control Center. Night Shift is a "set it and forget it" type of feature – once it's set to sunset to sunrise, there's no reason to change it. Low Power Mode and wireless hotspot would be much more useful in Control Center. Maybe iOS 10 will allow us to customize what is featured there.
To not have your circadian rhythm influenced by blue light, you would have to stop using your LED based devices two hours before bedtime. Which is hard for many, think children who don't even know the impact. Apple knows that sleeping problems is the number one health complaint in most countries. It's a big step forward in prevention and health promotion, which you really should appreciate.
i beg to differ. it would be nice to quickly disable it to take a picture or watch a movie without having the "orange" effect while keeping it on for the rest however i agree that there should be a way to customize them without having to jailbreak
Am I the only one here that is not impressed by this so called "night shift" feature in iOS 9.3..?
Personally I find it irrelevant, gimmicky and totally useless.
What I would like to see though, is better performance, stability and bug fixes that are sadly still alive in iOS 9.2.1.

^ I'm not impressed by it either. I use my iPad before bed all the time, often while I'm in bed. I notice no disturbance in sleep, but this feature can't hurt at least.
I do a lot of color sensitive work on my phone, such as photo editing, so implementing this feature would be helpful for me in those situations.
However, does anyone think Apple should teach the iPhone to know what type of app you're using and turn off Night Shift accordingly? Like turn it off in the Photos/Camera app and in any app that fits the "Photo & Video" category of the App Store?
Maybe I'm just overthinking it? But, I do know F.lux had a color sensitive toggle, and Apple likes to be innovative with their ideas, so it may happen.

Are you kidding me? A slight yellow tint deserves a spot in the control center, but the ability to turn cellular data (on my iPad) on and off is buried in the settings.
I like this option. The only thing I need on the control center now is power save mode
We need a set percentage option when it activates by default.
I bought some RGB LED lamp things yesterday and spent the whole evening with a soft orange and red glow. Had a great nights sleep, and I've just installed Flux on all my computers. So yeah, come on iOS 9.3!

I agree there should be a few more options in Control Centre, but I think an option that doesn't make the display keep you awake should definitely be front and centre.

Actually, I'm running the public beta on the iPhone 6 and the iPad mini 2. No sign of it, at least on these machines.
Night shift is the best feature to have been added (or stolen, whatever) for iOS for ages. In a dystopian world where we were all forced to downgrade iOS back to the stone ages for whatever reason I would quite happily delete every iOS update beyond 4.0 if I could keep Night Shift.
Awake, my poor, burned eyes!
.... Or rather ASLEEP, my poor (no more burned but still a little scarred) eyes!

Yes, ALL of this. We shouldn't have to dig through the settings for things that could easily be a toggle. That was one of the things I loved about Android and annoys me about iOS.
Cool. They should also add Low Power Mode, Mobile Data and Personal Hotspot to CC.
You can do this via a Jailbreak, which was my number one reason to JB...I've learned to live without a JB and that feature though.
It's not about being pleased. Each update features had never been any useful.

From other post I never doubted that it won't affect them but that's partial effect. Think about stress or food consumption. Those cause insomnia as well. That blue light reduction is only a partial answer and not entire answer to sleeping problem. Age also has effects on sleeping as well.
