Why would you want it to do that? It doesn't change the image that's being saved to your iPhone - all it does is change the colors on your screen.
You could try using inverse colors under the handicap settings to see what I mean.

No way?! Mines black so it's black with a white apple. But dang! That's stupid. You know what else I hate?iPhones BLAST bright light in your eyes at night, and especially with the newer white phones. Somebody decided that it would be cool to have the startup screens match what color your phone is.
If you have a white iPhone...
Doesn't make sense though because it barely matches the white that the iPhone actually is.
¯\(°_O)/¯
I don't get why it's necessary.
How come you can't charge your phone batt with the phone off? If it's off and you plug it in it turns on. Maybe I don't want it on.
It doesn't impact the image itself but if you edit images on the device it will likely give you a few surprises.
To communicate with the cable to set the charging rate, something has to be powered. It may not need to boot the whole OS to do it though.
While we are picking on the article details:
Color temperature is an indication of the spectrum of colors in a light source. It says nothing about the amount of light.
The proportion of blue light from an iPhone or an iPad might well match that of a bright cloudy day outside, but to say that the *amount* of light (of any color) from an iPhone matches the amount of light you are exposed to on a bright day is, well, preposterous.

addendum:
Amount of illumination required to suppress melatonin: ~30 lux
Amount of illumination from an iPad 3 at full brightness at 14 inches: 32 lux
Amount of illumination in full daylight: 10,750 lux
Amount of illumination on an overcast day: 1,075 lux.

Thanks for that info; just checked it out, mostly good reviews, other than one poster who couldn't get it to work.
I will download it, Thanks again.
How warm do all of you guys running the 9.3 beta have your night shift settings set to? I have mine at like 75%. Is that crazy? Lol
Also I think the transition is too quick at one minute. I would much rather it be like half an hour at least so I don't even notice it changing. Earlier when mine changed it felt quite jarring. Yes, it goes with the sunset, but it shouldn't match it exactly in my opinion. They should just give a transition time setting.
Oh and another thing, I kind of wish they'd just give me a bell curve for how I want the day to be in terms of screen temperature. I think that iPhone and iPad displays are too cool ALL the time, even in the day. Like I kinda want a Blue Light Reduction to be ever so slightly in effect all the time. But then still even warmer at night.

This is great... Until you realize your entire house is filled with daylight balanced LED light bulbs
Upgrade to connected led bulbs and you can schedule them to shift color temperature at sunset/sunrise too. Yes, it's expensive overall but adding a room at a time hasn't been too bad.
I agree with this, more control over Night Shift would be handy. On my Mac, I have f.lux enabled during the day just to tone down the blue a bit. Would also be nice to have a much longer gradual shift towards more yellow as the night goes on.
They forget about a feature that deletes Facebook, 9gag, Twitter and block Mac rumors just at 7:00pm... This will make me fall sleep like at 8:00pm
I like the idea of Night Shift but now when I look at my phone after 6pm I instantly fall asleep.
it doesnt (tested on my iPad pro)

f.lux can't do it either, unfortunately.
'Cool' article.
That said, there's a slight error. In the comparison pic of warm vs cool, the cool iPhone has night shift turned off entirely.

Thanks for pointing this out -- I used poor wording here and that's not what I meant to say. I've cleaned it up.
Fixed that caption. Very much appreciate the all feedback and suggestions on the how to, super helpful. We like these to be a resource people can come back to and the suggestions help me clean it up and make sure it's as clear as possible.
I'm running it right in the middle on my iPhone, but it's up around 60% or more and display dimmed when I read on my iPad mini in bed.
They did for video. When a video is finished and the player closes, you can see its back to blue before fading to yellow again. For Photos, no dice.
They should do it for photos as well. Maybe, they will by the time the final 9.3 public release drops.
Not understanding or caring for something doesn't make it dumb.
I do not think it is dumb. There may be a number of folks who are sensitive to light such that this is a real problem for them. Given that we are human and susceptible to the power of suggestion, there is an additional number of folks for whom this is effectively an issue.
I will give you this: if it were truly a common ailment this country never would have survived Johnny Carson and the Late Show - the sheer wattage of our TV sets would have rendered us all insomniacs.

requires 64bit processor.....come on Apple... simple feature that should be available on all devices that run ios 9.
F.lux can do it, so can you
