Nous avons présenté ici il y a quelques jours le sympathique Night Shift qui permet sur certains modèles d’iPhone et d’iPad de diminuer la lumière bleue de ces écrans pour ne pas altérer le sommeil. Cette intéressante évolution ne doit pas masquer les autres évolutions pour l’Apple TV, l’Apple Watch ou encore OS X!
Voici donc une petite liste des nouveautés préparée par Apple. Elle vous donnera certainement envie de tester certaines de ces évolutions en ce dimanche pluvieux!
Belles fêtes de Pâques à tous!

iOS 9.3
With this update your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch gain improvements to Notes, News, Health, Apple Music and a new feature called Night Shift that may even help you get a better night’s sleep by shifting the colors in your display to the warmer end of the spectrum at night.
- Night Shift: When enabled, Night Shift uses your iOS device’s clock and geolocation to determine when it’s sunset in your location, then it automatically shifts the colors in your display to the warmer end of the spectrum and may even help you get a better night’s sleep.
- Notes: Protect notes that contain your most personal data with Touch ID or a passcode. Sort notes alphabetically, by date created, or by date edited and when sketching, quickly bring up a fresh canvas with a two finger swipe, or by tapping the New Sketch button.
- Health: Related third-party apps for select data types such as weight, workouts and sleep are now displayed in the Health app. The Health dashboard adds support for move, exercise, and stand Activity data and goals from Apple Watch, and third-party apps now have access to Activity rings and summaries from Apple Watch through HealthKit.
