I’m sure of it. I’ve been using f.lux for years, on PCs and on a MacBook Air. You couldn’t write an app for iOS because that was getting into stuff iOS didn’t want you to have programmatic control of, so Apple pretty much had to include it in iOS.
I may have had a small part in getting Apple to include it. I have a few friends and acquaintances who work at Apple, and I was on them to get it written in. One in particular really saw the UX aspect of it, and may have been a champion for it internally.
Cool Apple story! I wish I heard about f.lux years ago. I was always dimming my monitor when night came but filtering out the blue light is better by magnitudes.
