Since there are, so far, only 3 pages in the iOS 9 forum, I am taking a leap for mankind and demanding a feature.
Apple Devs, App Store Security Officers, and Apple Wellness Managers,
Sitting in the dark right now on my MacBook Pro 13" with F.Lux installed.
My Samsung TV has dimmed itself to dark mode, and my Mac is a beautiful Amber tint--even a tad bit brighter than the TV.
However, the Mac I'm staring at right now is not affecting my eyeballs and my upcoming night's sleep. The dimness of my TV is great, but the ever-changing Amber to tungsten color of my screen on my Mac makes it a very easy tool to use at night, after the sun goes down.
I've been picking up my iPhone 6 every few seconds--27 y.o., but I'm still interested in Instagram. Not to mention, I have my iPhone's wifi off, constantly picking her up to check safari and send a test message to myself--awaiting the cellular data issue on my public beta 9 software to arise again.
I cannot explain to you how hard it is for me to do what most humans do, pick up their phone and put it between their face and their computer screen.
The "blue" light of the iPhone screen, although the screen brightness is all the way down and both the "darken colors" and "reduce white point" options are on, makes it next to impossible for me to use. It has been like this for years, and it's begun to grow on me.
I love Apple. I love my Mac, my iPhone, and all of the accessories, apps, and personalization that comes along with them.
However, it boggles my mind, in the most respectful way possible, that I must jailbreak my iPhone in order to install an application.
Whatever is baring the App Store from allowing the app F.Lux to be a downloadable, even purchasable application must be changed--if not just for that one app.
Or, please, buy them out, and put the feature into our phones.
While I love my iPhone, it is extremely hard for me to use at night, especially when my computer is a completely different color.
I understand how harmful it is for my eyes to adjust from a dim blue screen to an amber screen every few minutes, or every half hour, or every couple of seconds, if I'm having a texting conversation.
For the same reason I'd love for you to tell me that I am able to receive messages on my computer, even phone calls and FaceTime, I'm here telling you that there's no reason F.Lux should not be as accessible on my iPhone as it is on my Mac.
It is with utmost respect for F.Lux, Apple, and iMore that I try my hardest to get the most useful tool/app/thing I've ever used--and for years when I had a PC before I even had an iPhone 4 or a Mac--onto my iPhone.
I can download a police scanner, a themed keyboard, and even an extra password protection for messages and mail, but I can't download a feature to change the actual color of my screen instead of just dimming the brightness of the blue?
Jailbreaking is not an option for me. It is not an option because I do not see it fair that F.Lux can only be installed on a jailbroken iPhone.
I was not sent here by anyone except my own two eyes, who are helping with their input through your Feedback app on the public beta, but straining to write this message each time they adjust to my phone and then my Mac...again, and again, and again...night after night after night...
I've done all I possibly could by writing to your on your own website's feedback/suggestion pages.
It just makes no sense that the tool has operated flawlessly, through multiple software updates on my Mac, but is, if you will, and illegal app on my iPhone.
Please.
Please.
Please.
I've asked nicely.
I hope I've left enough time before September.
I thank you in advance,
AK
