no night shift mode for iPhone 5 owners. pretty frustrating.
Soldato
Got it on my 6S Plus and Air 2 - Night Shift is exactly like F.Lux and I'm glad they put the ability to toggle it in Control Centre. I did my mum's iPad Air and 5C as well and it's on the former but not the latter.

I like the idea of Night Shift. I'll be interested to see if it makes any difference to my sleeping.
I updated my iPhone 6, iPhone 5S & iPad Air 2 last night. I started the update at the same time on all 3 devices and the 5S was completed before the updated had even downloaded on the others. There was a difference in size but only about 20Mb or so.

Anyone worked out how to do this yet?

Updated last night - all seems good so far.
Night Shift has been a long time coming - it was one of two features I really missed coming from Android (I didn't want to jailbreak) so I'm glad it's finally been added.

I have a 5S and it works on mine? Taking a bit of getting used to mind as the colour difference looks weird. Can see how it helps at night but (yeah that's the point Phil) lol!

Updated from 9.3 Public Beta 7 on both iphone 6S and ipad Air2. No issues to report 
There are reports of older devices being bricked and Apple has pulled 9.3 for such devices:

This is starting to become the norm. Issues with every single update, no matter how big or small.
By the way, not the first time Apple pulls an update. Talk about embarrassing and unacceptable

Apple is no longer the great company it once was.

Bricked?
On my mums iPad, it asked for the original Apple ID and password so I entered them.
Not great i take it my Ipad Air2 was ok as i dot think I’ve had any problems. Disappointed as usual that Siri is still terrible, the annoying thing is even my Scottish accent is understood really well. Siri knows what I’m saying but just offers a shallow experience of “what is the time” “What is the Weather” Set an Alarm for” If only it was half what voice attack can do on Elite.

Noticed in Apple Music artists albums that some tracks have a little star next to them, I'm guessing it means those tracks are the hits of said album, can't remember seeing this in previous iOS.
