Night Shift is basically a night mode for iOS devices, as it reduces the amount of blue light an iPhones and iPads emit during the evening hours. While there are sure to be bug fixes, performance enhancements and other random feature updates, it appears the biggest changes will be all geared toward education.

Apple has for many years been talking about how many people are switching from Android over to iOS devices instead of it going the other way. Potential iPhone adopters could try one out, safe in the knowledge that a return to an Android phone is easy.
Apple announced the preview for iOS 9.3 with a emphasis on education features for the iPad, a screen that adjusts its blue light exposure based on the time of day and enhancements to CarPlay. It came with minor enhancements and bug fixes for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch users. Apple released the beta version of iOS 9.3 on Monday.
But it also brought with it persistent issues. CarPlay Updates: With iOS 9.3, CarPlay adds even more useful features. And the Maps app will finally support the Nearby feature that was added in iOS 9, way back in September. From Apple’s description, it sounds as though each student will have a roaming user profile that follows them from iPad to iPad so they can access the same apps and data no matter which iPad they use to login.
The new Night Shift mode will use your clock and iOS device’s location to determine when the sun has set. It also integrates movement, calorie, and standing data from the Apple Watch when you have one connected.
It is a common knowledge that Apple likes to keep every function and feature straight forward and that is why you do not get any customization option when you take the Live Photos. Apple has also used its own charging connectors on devices up until now too, in contrast to MicroUSB (now superseded by USB Type-C) which is commonplace on most smartphones.
