You’ll soon be able to color calibrate your Apple TV from your iPhone

If Apple’s FaceID sensors are accurate enough to be used for color calibration, then I wonder if, with the right app, it would be possible to use an iPhone as a universal color calibrator for any display, like a computer screen.

Unnecessary piece of box in our region....another box, wires basically providing lesser experience than what you already get in Anroid TVs built in. The price is ridiculous

This is very useful feature for so many, it's really hard to calibrate your screen if you don't know how it should look and majority of people doesn't. They just use it how it's out of the box or tweak some settings.
I'm Interested to test this next week and see how well or badly it really works, but idea sounds great and useful

Anonymous, 23 Apr 2021Because it is blind calibration without a reference device.... moreAre you going to pay 4000€ for a professional calibration device that you'd for some reason use on a consumer grade device? Or this feature will get pretty close for 0€ given you already have the phone most likely?

its a cool feature for collecting data, surely the benefits are for viewing pleasure, as advertised, the data collected can be learnt to recreate physical condition of that current calibration, its a movie daredevil and eagle eye in the making, collect the radiated data to recreate the physical environment, how many devices worldwide ??? it can be minority report and world wide surveillance at the same time

beep bop boop, 22 Apr 2021pretty cool but would the lighting conditions affect the Co... moreIt doesn't matter because phone covers the display and literally only calibrates the display in its own "bubble".

I am sure I saw somewhere that it isn't the tv being calibrated, but more so the output from the apple tv device

It would obviously be possible if you had something to calibrate the accuracy of the camera with. Like, if they'd bundle some accurate colours samples with the phones.
Regarding if it needs perfect darkness, I guess it's best to do it in the light you normally use your telly in.

pretty cool but would the lighting conditions affect the Color Balance? do we need to do it in a dark area? or a well lit area?

That's one of the coolest features and I wonder why LG or Samsung haven't thought of it given they were/are also making phones and TV's. Now that Apple has done it, it's quite likely they will. Just not LG, they dropped the phones :P
