This Apple technology dynamically adjusts the display’s color and intensity to match the ambient lighting conditions. Functionally, it aims to make the screen appear more natural and comfortable to view, particularly in varying environments. For example, in a room with warm, yellow lighting, the display will shift towards warmer tones, while in a cooler, blue-lit environment, the screen will adapt accordingly.
The primary benefit is reduced eye strain and a more comfortable viewing experience. By aligning the display’s color temperature with the surrounding environment, the visual transition between the screen and the real world is lessened. This feature was first introduced on the iPad Pro and has since been incorporated into iPhones and MacBooks, reflecting a commitment to enhancing user comfort and visual ergonomics across different devices. Its introduction marked a significant step towards contextual display adaptation.
