True Tone Problem Since Update to 10.14.6

Hi there,


Since the Update on my MacBook Pro 15 - 2019. True tone switches several Times a Minute.

Looks like I'm not alone.


Could you please check that?

An the Screen flicker.


Thanks

I just had a chat with Apple Support on this. It was not yet a known problem for them, but they advised me to perform a NVRAM/PRAM reset: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204063


After this procedure the True Tone switches and flickering are gone on my system (it's 15 minutes since performing the procedure, so I guess time will tell, but looking good so far..)

I'm having this problem across both of my macbooks. The issue is especially severe when I'm sitting agains a teal wall - the laptop can't decide between the warm color of the human face and the cool color of the wall and goes absolutely nuts flickering its color temperature back and forth.


True Tone is absolutely awesome when it works. I love it. But on Apple laptops it's just broken since 10.14.6, and no one at Apple has bothered fixing it so far.


Very sad.
