Apple introduces new Night Shift feature in iOS 9.3

Alongside the launch of the new devices, Apple’s also made iOS 9.3 available for download. This minor release brings with it some useful features including the new Night Shift mode. Working similar to what the F.lux tool does, it reduces the amount of blue light it emits based on the time of the day or where you are at the moment. Blue light is said to make it harder for people to sleep so you can schedule that to turn on in the evenings. Apple also adds password protection to its Notes app. You can even unlock it via Touch ID. This’ll be useful if you store sensitive personal information in the app. There are also new 3D Touch shortcuts for Weather, Settings, Compass, Health, Stocks, and Store.

Aside from that, Apple also tweaked its News app to personalize the For You section further with interests, suggestions, and trending topics. Multi-user support shows up when it allows students with iPads to share devices easily. Apple Health gets Apple Watch integration, while CarPlay gets the ability to add song suggestions for music and nearby points of interests if you need to find certain places.
