Apple will use True Tone displays in iPhone 8

Analysts at investment bank Barclays believe that all three models from this year's new iPhone lineup will receive

displays supporting True Tone technology. The Cupertino company first implemented support for this technology in the 9.7-inch iPad Pro last year.

While Apple has gained supportTrue Tone technology in the display of the iPad Pro due to the use of advanced light sensors hidden in a frame around the display, then in order for this technology to work on the iPhone, it will have to use “full-spectrum light sensors”. These sensors will be manufactured and supplied by the manufacturer of semiconductor products AMS from Austria.

We believe that the proportion of components from AMSiPhone 7S and iPhone 8 are expected to increase this year due to the use of full-spectrum light sensors, such as those already used in the iPad Pro, to support True Color technology.

As you can see at 9.7-inch iPad Pro, True Tone technology allows you to automatically change the color temperature and brightness of the display depending on the surrounding light. That can significantly reduce the load on the user's eyes.

For the first time, a leak was announced that True Tonethe display will be used on the iPhone. So far, we have heard that Apple will switch to using OLED screens in the premium iPhone 8 Edition model, and the other two models will use LCD screens, due to restrictions on the supply of OLED panels. Considering the fact that the Night Shift software solution on iOS offers the same functionality as the True Tone technology, it remains unclear whether Apple will actually use the latter in the new iPhone models of this year.
