Apple announced a feature last year on the iPad Pro, the True Tone display. You might ask what True Tone display is. Well, according to Apple support, “True Tone display, which uses advanced multi-channel sensors to adjust the color and intensity of your display to match the ambient light, so that images appear more natural.” We will discuss later in the article how you can enable and disable True Tone display.

So it means that whatever is the lighting in the room, or outside the iPhone or iPad will automatically adapt to the light environment. Making it much easier on the eyes, and importantly reducing eyestrain. As well, giving you a more natural display. Thus, enhancing your display in different settings, though it might take some time for you to adjust to it. Only, if you move in and out of different light settings, you’ll have some problems, but when your eyes get settled, you’ll adjust instantly.
However, when your eyes are adapted to the ever-changing display light, you will not notice it, even moving frequently between the different ambient lights. It is better to use True Tone display when reading on apps like Kindle app and others, watching videos or browsing through images.
