Apple will permit the True Tone feature to adjust third-party iPhone displays
In a welcome change coming later in 2024, Apple will finally permit its True Tone display technology to adjust color temperatures of third-party iPhone screens.
True Tone requires advanced multichannel sensors to continually measure the ambient lighting conditions. The algorithm uses this data to tell the GPU how to adjust the color and intensity to match the ambient light, which can reduce eyestrain.
A new white paper outlining the steps Appel’s taking to improve the longevity of its devices explains that True Tone relies on precise display calibration. But third-party displays aren’t factory-calibrated, which can result “in unexpected behavior.”
True Tone will soon work on third-party iPhone displays
“True Tone relies on accurate communication between a product’s display and light sensors. To achieve this, each device’s light sensor must be individually calibrated with its display to account for variations in manufacturing,” Apple writes. This is why True Tone is unavailable with third-party displays but that’s changing later in 2024.
The way this is going to work, you’ll visit the display settings on your iPhone or iPad to activate True Tone after the display has been replaced with a third-party part.
While Apple doesn’t have calibration data for third-party displays, iOS will use either existing or default calibration settings. Like always, you’ll be able to deactivate True Tone in the Settings app should the display fail to perform to your satisfaction.
You can manage True Tone on your Mac, iPhone and iPad in the display settings. To quickly toggle True Tone on and off, open the Control Center and hold the Brightness slider to reveal additional options.
What is True Tone? What Apple devices support it?
True Tone is available on the iPhone 8 and later and the second-generation iPhone SE and newer. On the iPad side, you need at least a 2016 or later model which includes the ninth-generation iPad, third-generation iPad Air, fifth-generation iPad mini, 9.7-inch iPad Pro and 2018 or later iPad Pro.
Every Mac laptop released since mid-2018 has a True Tone display. Moreover, True Tone is also utilized on the MacBook Pro’s Touch Bar and Apple’s external displays (Studio Display and Apple Pro Display XDR).
True Tone even works with external Mac displays no larger than 32 inches. This requires an Apple silicon iMac or a MacBook with its lid open. Apple’s support document says True Tone is unavailable when using a Mac with a TV or projector.
