Using grayscale on your iPhone can be useful for a variety of reasons. For example, it may help those with colorblindness read their screen more easily. This can be great for accessibility. By converting the colors to black and white, text on the screen will appear sharper, and stand out more. This can also help if a user likes to read books via an e-reader. Having a Grayscale screen can also be helpful for increasing the battery life of your device, as you are utilizing less power on the screen.
