NDM News Story 35: Apple promises a good night's sleep with new iPhone feature

With the new update for Apple iPhones, a new feature called night shift will also be available for users which automatically adjusts the colour balance of the screen by reducing the blue and white tones of colour and increasing the red and orange tones. Due to research saying that the strong blue and white tones would make it harder to fall asleep, Apple have decided to create this new feature to ensure customers of a good night's sleep. Due to many people having temptation to have one last look at their phone before sleeping, this feature is perfect for those who are constantly using their phone throughout the day. Other features that will come with the new update include the ability to lock their notes screen as well as an updated news and health application.

  • The phone uses geolocation and its internal clock to tell when it’s sundown, and then shifts the colours onscreen so they’re warmer
  • “Many studies have shown that exposure to bright blue light in the evening can affect your circadian rhythms and make it harder to fall asleep,” Apple said.
I think this update for apple software will be a very useful change for Apple customers and the company alike. The customers will continue to use Apple products and will increase the company's revenue. Furthermore, it will be healthier for customers' eyes and will allow them to maximise their time on their phone, which is good for Apple itself. As digital technology is increasingly having an important presence in everyone's life, such a feature would be very beneficial to be installed in all electronic devices.
