Would you rather use that space for cameras or white point adjustments? Yeah, I thought so.
For everyone wondering why there’s no True Tone on the new iPhone, take a look at how much space they use on the top bezel. Won’t fit…

Here’s where they are on my iPad Pro 9.7”https://twitter.com/chockenberry/status/717861226450014208 …

@chockenberry Interesting. Given the rumoured bezel-free design for next year’s iPhone, I’m wondering if we’ll ever see True Tone on iPhone. -
.
@HarshilShah1910 I’m thinking that’s a likely scenario. iPad is bigger and for reading, so its the product line that gets True Tone.

@chockenberry This is how much space they use on the bezel. It's that tiny thing in the middle. Too much blu tackpic.twitter.com/sdTRmMnsga
-
@ivovic The blu tack is the extent of the light detection (larger than sensor). Also that cable connects to a chip which takes up space :-) -
@chockenberry That sensor housing is flush up against the front panel in its own tiny bucket, it's pretty clear from the picture. -
@chockenberry The incidental light cone comes from all around, it's shallow mounted not a the bottom of a cavern. -
@chockenberry I wonder if perhaps you're mistaking the speaker cavity for the light sensor? I'm sorry to suggest something so obvious. -
@chockenberry Also noteworthy: You wouldn't need more than one on the phone. Too close to matter. Thanks for your response. -
@ivovic Yep, I’m interested in this stuff. A birdie confirms space is the issue, but I suspect next year’s bezel removal also plays a part… -
@chockenberry yep. TRRS socket removal seems to have been preemptive rather than immediately necessary this gen as well. Preparations indeed

@chockenberry does the 7 have a DCI-P3 display? -
.
@markmalstrom Yes, they said it has “wide color” which implies DCI-P3 with their own gamma and whitepoint adjustments. -
@chockenberry ah, awesome.
-
-
@chockenberry disagree, there is space. tons of it by iPhone standards. Yield? Cost? Can't think of a good reason.... -
@chockenberry so this means higher power consumption for the screen? Or the user has to keep adjusting? -
@chockenberry Also have to save something for the iPhone 7S ;-) -
@chockenberry And that’s *after* moving some hardware down to where the headphone jack was.
