I don't doubt that it will help with insomnia by reducing blue light...but i guess it can contribute something, right?

You’ve been saying that this is a useless addition, people have been proving you wrong.

Useless as by itself....
The whole point that i making is this: it still useless if you're depending on this feature. It could help if other interventions were used. So no..they haven't proved me wrong.

And yet you've agreed with the following post (where it was pointed out that even by itself it can still be helpful to some people):

Right,but for some people this may be their main or only one. So it helps.

For others , this may be one of a few, which still means this would help.

Either way it's a win/win.

yup

Meaning your own words are contradicting what you are saying.

IF you're depending on solely on this...useless. It can be useful in ADDITION to something else.

And for those that only have an issue with the blue light and not something else, wouldn't this remove that issue and thus clearly not be useless at all to them?

And those who have some other issues but the blue light plays a considerable part as well, then even removing that that one blue light factor would still be helpful as it would improve things (even if it doesn't fix everything), and thus not be completely useless to them?

(And that is essentially what that post that your replied to with an agreement by saying "yup" said.)

When used to blue light at night it can take weeks to adjust to warm output. Instead of all or nothing (less time), consider moving the color intensity slider over gradually (less yellow), a little each day or so.

I could have been more clear I guess. It's not an adjustment issue. I didn't mind that. But I somtimes watcha show at night before doing some reading. There is no situation where I would want my screen to be yellow for a 3-50 minute show. I'd love to set times (as it is now) but be able to toggle it off at the flick of a finger when needed.

Please stop the bickering and arguing.

This is incorrect.

Different people will benefit by varying degrees however most if not all people will derive some measurable benefits (even if not apparent to the user themselves).

In any case, you are welcome to your opinion as it applies to yourself however I think it is important to clarify the medical evidence as it stands right now.

Definitely a needed feature!

Actually I wish they would just let us customize all the toggles.

I agree, it would be terrific if Apple would give users more options when it comes to controls. Just look at how useful it is to customize an Android phone, I know that my excellent Android experience over the long run has been greatly enhanced by the way it's so easily setup to suit me.

So how does one choose the red, green, and blue graph layout shown for the Health app on the iPhone below? There is no apparent way to do it.

It will be available in iOS 9.3

Looks like the Control Center toggle is officially there now as of iOS 9.3 beta 2: https://www.macrumors.com/2016/01/25/apple-seeds-second-ios-9-3-beta/

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.

Ofcourse, but those are factors Apple cannot change.
