Doesn’t Apple use the whole sensor array on the front of the iPhone to calibrate their picture? I feel like using any camera would be wildly inaccurate
Your tv can’t calibrate itself..? If you’re changing tv settings and for some reason your panel emits too much blue light, changing to “movie or professional mode” won’t change anything, it will still emit too much blue light. That’s the whole point of external calibration
Most TVs nowdays comes calibrated good enough in those profiles at D65 white point, Apple's calibration isn't as good, it's worse, it gives worse results than using the Pro/Custom profile.
Okay, except “most TVs” still need to be calibrated years after purchasing. A plasma screen from 2009 or a 4 year old LED panel will benefit from a signal-end color correction, which Apple’s solution is.
Obviously it isn’t as good as the factory equipment, but people can’t go use the factory’s equipment when the panel becomes discolored or needs calibration. I’m not sure what’s so hard to understand about that.
If you want a calibration you call a professional, otherwise you're never going to have the desired result because FaceID just doesn't have that colormetric capability.
Yes you solved it, everyone should have their TVs professionally calibrated rather than creating a tool that works with everyone’s smartphone. You’re really missing the whole point. The tool exists for people whose screens have fallen out of balance and they (most people) won’t pay to have it professionally calibrated, so having access to this tool is very helpful even if it isn’t as accurate, which everyone knows anyway.
If the TV’s picture settings are still set to out of the box, or dynamic, or whatever other bad settings options there are, the Apple TV calibration can be fantastic.
But for anyone who cares about calibration, they probably already changed the TV settings to Movie, or Filmmaker, or Expert at the minimum, and those will most likely be equal to or better than Apple TV’s calibration.
Yeah, I tried the Apple TV calibration on mine just as a curiosity, but it said my display was accurate already so wouldn't do it, that was with a Sony TV in custom mode.
It's... okay. It only really shifts colors and doesn't account for gamma differences, nor does it understand different display types (OLEDs work a bit different to LCDs).
If you want a perfectly accurate color, then the iPhone calibration isn't nearly enough. If you want "okay, well that's not awful" then yeah, the iPhone calibration is okay.

Yep, it needs Face ID
Yes but both are innacurate, using the movie or professional/custom profile of your tv is better option nowdays

This like the meme we have appletv at home! Apple tv at home:
Not even close to the aptv calibration imo
Could not get it to work on my sister’s Samsung. Seems like they removed the feature from the iOS app. And the TV certainly needs it.
Can’t get it to work on my apple tv either, seems like it’s pretty on par!
If Apple can’t make the color calibration feature work properly I can’t imagine Samsung would using a wide variety of devices with random cameras.
iPhone cameras are calibrated. I can’t imagine Random Android Phone ™️ is
Haha, trying to calibrate your average Samsung set to anything remotely good is an impossible task
Isn’t this like posting a picture on an iPhone sub of a Samsung rear facing camera and saying “Samsungs version of Apple’s rear facing camera”?
Is the Apple TV calibration considered good? I didn’t think it made it look better

Eh it’s a subjective thing. I find true Dolby Vision to be too warm
