“Developers behind popular screen brightness and color control software f.lux issued a formal statement in response to Apple’s debut of ‘Night Shift’ in the latest iOS 9.3 beta, calling on the tech giant to allow a proper version of f.lux into the iOS App Store and open API access to Night Shift’s display management tools,” Mikey Campbell reports for AppleInsider.
