True Tone
Apple's ambient-light color adaptation that makes whites look natural under different lighting.
Also known as:
True Tone display
Full Definition & Technical Explanation
True Tone uses an ambient-light sensor to adjust the display's white balance to match your surroundings, so white looks "white" under warm lamps or cool daylight.
Found on iPhone, iPad, and Mac displays. It reduces eye strain but is subjective — some creators disable it for color accuracy.
