For the very first time, MacOS Sierra 10.12.14 brings iOS's in the Night shift mode. The Night shift mode was first introduced in iPhones and iPads with iOS 9.3 update. This feature allows to gradually shift the display of a device from blue to yellow, allowing less exposure to blue light.

It is somehow a bit similar to "Find iPhone" apps, this new application also can be found in the "Find my Friends" apps. The feature is designed to keep track when the earphone was last connected to an iOS device via Bluetooth. In addition, it even plays a sound when the earphone is nearby for easier location.

From the tracking of lost earphones to shifting Apple File System features. It was first introduced last 2016, this feature is optimized for USB or SSD storage.  Other features of iOS 10.3 update include tweaked app animation, a new Apple ID profile in the settings app, Siri Kit improvements, new iCloud analytics options, Verizon Wi-Fi calling on iCloud devices, 32-bit app alerts, according to MacRumors.
