The phones have gotten warmer and warmer and warmer since the 6.
My MBP and my phone both supposedly have a 6500K whitepoint, but they look completely different. The MBP looks really nice; the Xs, very warm (and yes, truetone and nightshift are off, as is reduce whitepoint). I've compared my Xs to multiple display models in store (same settings) and mine is actually one of the better ones if not the best I've seen - seen some really nasty ones out there which made me feel good about mine. But still, even when looking at the phone alone, out in public, it is noticeably warm.
There's just no way that both devices are 6500K. The phones have just gotten too warm. I'm aware that DisplayMate says these are the best/most accurate displays on earth, and I'm aware that most people will tell me that the crisp whites are inaccurate blues. I'm also aware people will blame macular degeneration, but that never stopped Apple from shipping colder screens and macular degeneration isn't exactly new.
But I mean, color accuracy be damned, this is a consumer phone and I'm not doing any color critical work on it, so can I just have a whitepoint slider so I can make it look like my old 6? Can't understand why Apple is still so reluctant to let us make minor adjustments to white point.
Please DO NOT recommend color filters, that is NOT the same and NOT a fix for a whitepoint slider. Color filters is an accessibility option that puts, well, a filter over the entire screen, and makes all the other colors weird. Plus, even if you were ok with that, it's either too blue or too green even with minimum intensity, you can't even get a nice crisp white out of Color Filters.
Apple - can we get a whitepoint slider please? I emailed Craig Federighi earlier this year and he did respond (told me to turn off truetone and nightshift...to which I replied they already were off, etc.), so he's aware at least one person out there wants it...
