Personally, I think Federico and Steve Troughton-Smith are both being drama queens about this feature. Does it work perfectly for me on my 2018 IPP or my 2020 M1 Mac? No. Does it work well enough? Yes.
yup. It’s in Test Flight. Same is true for Carrot Weather. So no current publicly released apps are using it. The idea above that Apple pulled this back from its own apps makes sense, along with my idea about licensing (and they are not mutually exclusive, either).
For the little time it has been, I am pretty impressed with battery life. Seems to have settled down a bit.
I just have to say that the data speeds I’m seeing on my max are astonishing. Using the same networks I’m seeing huge differences in download and upload speeds.
Not really new to this beta but hats off to Apple on whatever they did.

I agree. The feature is working just fine for me. They use it in such an extreme super duper advanced way that it can almost be considered an edge case for most users.
Precisely. It’s like posters here who complain about something that only happens if they pull down the screen at precisely a 2 cm/s rate, turn the device at a 43.5 degree angle and type Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious backwards while whistling Dixie.
I can’t stand it. Why I want everything to look yellow just blows my mind.
Yeah, but your profession conditions you to dislike it. But it is useful in work areas with lots of incandescent lighting.
Speaking of which, see what happens if you drag down on the Lock Screen and then drag back up instead of releasing your finger.
You’re welcome.
Yellow screen was the biggest complaint in previous versions. And the screen for me remained yellow more or less under all kinds of lighting. But this time that is not the case.
Screen changes colour from warm (not yellow) to white and vice versa under different lighting. And i like it
Wrong, see blow.
Exactly the same here on 16.0.x, examples:
I can go on and on with a plethora of different activities.
Also a very ugly and annoying green glow on the active call activity, always been like that.
Build for proof:
I like true colour, not true yellow tone 😆😂
Damn you😂 you made me turn it off and i like it more off now😂
Was it there on 16.02? I never saw it other than maybe 2% of the time until 16.1 beta 4.
Apple needs some Wisk! This is all I can think about when I see the dynamic dirty ring around the island now!
Was there on 16.0.1 and 16.0.2. Has always been there, even noticed it the short while I was on 16.0 after setting up my phone on launch day.
But what you’re missing is that it was so faint it was imperceptible most of the time, why do you think it got so much negative attention when beta 4 dropped last week? It was NOT like it is now where it’s this bright garish looking outline that’s there most of the time. And for some reason when you visit macrumors it goes away, maybe they did something to disable it since it’s so hideous? Try going to a site like 500px, and see how bad it is. It also changes color depending on what is using it so if the app icon is the same color as the area around the island you’re not going to notice it as much.
