One of the first things I turn off on both my iPhone and iPad. Yellowish screen bothers me.
I got used to it - looks good on even & untinted displays.

Sure, using it since it was introduced. Much nicer to my eyes.
It matches the tone to the color of lighting where you are using your device, so it will only be yellow if you have artificial lighting with a low color temperature (warm tone) which is common in northern/central Europe and North America.
I've used it from day one on all of my devices that support it. I don't really notice it anymore in everyday use, but I have it disabled when doing photo editing and the instant shift can be jarring and make the display look very blue depending on the lighting in the room.
I use it on all my devices. Turning it off makes everything look cool (blue) and unnatural. The extra blue light is harsher on the eyes and can cause eye strain too.
Terrible. Like turning your premium device into some budget schlock screen.
For obvious reasons, it's turned off on the Macs we use to edit photos, which also get regular color calibration. I leave it on on my iPhone 15 Pro, and it seems to work fine there. It used to annoy me on some of my older iPhones, but Apple has improved the calibration on the latest models and it no longer looks super yellow.
I like it (and use it) on Apple devices with LCD displays. It looks off with OLED displays though so I don't use it with my iPhone (I did back when I had an iPhone 11 though).
Absolutely, it makes the screen more natural and pleasant to look at, especially at night.
I’ve never used it, but after some of these comments I’m going to give it a try.
I use True Tone for obvious reasons as brightness changes through the day depending on the level of lighting.
I don’t use Night Shift because that gives the screen a yellow tinge and I’ve always been able to get to sleep without it as True Tone adjusts the brightness to the lowest setting when I am in darkenss.

Truetone and night shift all the way 24/7 , no issues with yellow tint . Might as well embrace the tint

Are you saying you don't mind the yellow tint or you can't see it?
That screen, in the way it's set up there, is SUPER yellowish
At this point all the display qualities are out of the window along with camera prowess.
Technically it has become modern iPhone SE with new chip and more price.
Yes.
I find my eyes adjust to it. The idea is that the white on your screen is intended to match what a white piece of paper would look like in the ambient lighting in the room you're in.

Yeah always used it since it was introduced, no issues for me.
