Love it on my LCD iPad Pro. Hate(d) it on my XS Max and now my 13 Pro Max.

It works really well on the iPad. On both OLED iPhones it is way more yellow under the same lighting conditions compared to the iPad.

So, I always have it on on the iPad and switch it off on the phones.
 
I love True Tone too. In all lighting conditions the colors/white point stay more accurate vs having a static setting where the colors/white point looks too blue or two warm depending on where you are in your environment

Such an underrated awesome feature and I’m glad Apple came up with it.
 
It does annoy me somewhat that you can have 3 different devices in the same location and all show a different screen tone with TT enabled.

Yes, I get that screens have different temperatures and white points/calibrations, but it would be good if each device knew it's calibration, and along with the light sensors, could make the suitable screen-specific calculation changes to ensure they all showed the same "white paper" tone.....
 
Tell me more!

I love True Tone too.

The True Tone technology uses advanced multichannel sensors to adjust the color and intensity of your display to match the ambient light so that images appear more natural.
If you don’t realise that our perception of colour is affected by ambient light, you are either not looking or not paying attention.
Is that more enough?

I don’t need validation from anybody in relation to this.
True Tone is a great technology, but if you don’t like it don’t use it.
 
I have it turned on recently, but went years without using it. I think some just prefer the whiter screen although it does cut down on eye fatigue.
 
True Tone is something I don't notice I have on, which I think is how it's supposed to be -- it just matches the ambient lighting and makes the display blend into the surroundings.

If I start futzing with it, switching it on and off, suddenly I find myself thinking the display is "too warm." So if I'm not doing color-intensive work (which is rare) I just leave it on.
