Night Shift Beta Tidbits: Disabled in Low Power Mode, Control Center Changes

I often turn it off quickly to take and edit pictures, since the color change between Night Shift mode and non Night Shift mode can be pretty drastic when editing pictures. So having that quick toggle in Control Center is pretty awesome for my needs. Honestly if there wasn't a quick toggle, I don't even know if I would be using it since it would be kind of a bunch of clunky steps just to snap a few shots at night (which I do often). Now it's just swipe up, click the toggle, click the camera, do my business, swipe up and turn back on. And now with out the contextual menu it's even easier.
The only UI animation of Night Shift is the slow shift in colour but that won't be running more than a few seconds per hour.

Then just remove the gradual aspect of it when in low power mode. What might be happening that Night Shift is applied as a bolt-on technology, meaning on top of drawing the content of the screen from the OS or from apps, the screen output has to be run through another adjustment matrix calculation but one would think that for static content that extra mathematical conversion would only have to done once.

Send that notification only once per hour when in Night Shift should significantly reduce any computational needs.
Totally. I never noticed a gradual changing from cold to warm, it was always pretty sudden and would happen pretty quickly.
"More Warm" and "Less Warm" are bad grammar and are less communicative than "Warmer" and "Cooler."
One factor is that it takes some minor computational time, but it's probably negligible. I think the more important reason is that night shift usually makes your screen darker. Consequently, you need a higher level of brightness to compensate, which heavily drains battery.
I appreciate your intelligent response, unlike the previous answer that some genius gave me by stating that NO ONE knows why Apple disables anything in setting. Cheers!
Anybody willing to bet within the next 5 years Apple will add a system-wide night mode (Eclipse), ability to change the Control Center settings (Flip Control Center), and Themes (Winterboard)? They seem to be taking jailbreak ideas/tweaks, integrating them, then releasing them to the customers.
Well there is a logic behind it to set the right color tones. Also it needs to continuously check when its sunrise or sunset to adjust display accordingly.
Might not be like a lot of consumption given its a basic logic but when you are on that 3% level, the ONLY thing the average social media addict wants running is Instagram!!
Yeah, it's very awkward nomenclature, especially when OS X uses "warmer" and "cooler" for setting color profiles. My only guess is that perhaps a beta tester complained that warmer and cooler didn't translate well to another culture. But this solution to whatever the problem was is pretty awful.
I'm sensing the possibility of a customizable control center in iOS 10.
Press and hold icons to rearrange. A new "Edit" button (like in Notification Center) where you can add and remove options, including new 3rd party CC toggles.
Here's to hoping!

Can anyone tell me, does Night Shift mode come on gradually, like on Flux for Mac? Or does is just switch on to 100%? I use flux, and I love how it comes on gradually after sunset, so you barely notice the transition. When you just flip it on and off, it's quite jarring.
Yes, Night Shift Mode comes gradually when it is automatically scheduled.
What's wrong with you Apple? Why had you to remove these two circles, which communicated so well how the slider would affect the color temperature. It's like every UI element that's right and nice is going to be destroyed in the next Beta. Until everything is a text-adventure.
really? is it because we are supposed to call out siri for help AFTER we get blinded by the bright light in low power mode?
It's supported by 64-bit devices.
Does it actually do it gradually? Seems that a fair bit of feedback about it in various beta threads has been referring to it changing fairly quickly and not gradually (for example compared to f.lux).
I think part of why they might have done it is so that people don't think they can actually make the screen cooler than it normally might be. There were quite a few people thinking they could do that with earlier betas seeing that slider and seeing the blue icon and/or references to "cool".
Yes.

Lol, wut?
How is "Less Warm" bad grammar... do you think it should be "Fewer Warm"?? ;0P
I actually read through the comments just to see if anyone else thought this.
The bottom row is applications, while the top is system functions. The bottom row even has different shaped icons (rounded rectangles) that match application icons.
Understand that they didn't have room, but it seems a bit random to stick it below. For some reason I would think the rotation-lock icon might be better suited below, though that doesn't really make a lot of sense as it isn't an app either. The whole Control Center (to my eyes) looks very messy anyway (try playing music, then look at Control Center, and there is a mess of text and icons that must scare the hell out of non-technical people), so I agree about the re-organisation is iOS 10.
