iPhone Dark Mode on iOS

[cale508]

Maybe it will be on next year's iOS because Google just added a toggle for dark mode.

Not really sure if multiple discussions about the same thing at about the same time with more or less the same type of things being brought up really does much (aside from repetition essentially).

What it does is helps people release their flushtration with Apple which is really what these forums are all about. We can’t change Apples decisions but clearly more people want this feature.

Not sure how that changes between having a discussion about it in one place and repeating the same things with more or less the same people in another place more or less at the same time.

Well people never check to see...if what there about to post...has already been posted. People also feel if they say it enough more people will agree. So it’s easy to see multiple posts about the same idea. I don’t agree with it but it happens a lot on this forum...but you knew that already right?

Edit: so I quickly glanced down this whole 1st page of this section on iOS 12 and only found 2 threads on dark mode. That’s pretty fair game and not unusual.

But they’ve done the ground work for it already in macOS so it wouldn’t be too hard to bring to iOS

Two different operating systems.

There are at least two other ones about it that at the time were essentially on the first page of the forum as well. Ultimately it's all mostly down to the first sentence of your post.

Well, at lest we can hope it shows up in the 12.3 version(like night shift had done)

I think you’re right and we’ll see it in March 2019

It isn’t the same thing, but Firefox for iOS has a “night mode” that you can enable, and it smartly makes all websites dark and more readable. Macrumors looks great when browsing with it enabled.

No. Maybe in 2019 WWDC 2019. My opinion, as long as smart invert exist, I don’t see Apple venturing with dark mode.

Smart invert is no replacement for a true dark mode.

And with the introduction of a dark mode in MacOS, an iOS version can’t be too far behind. Whether it’s later this year (unlikely) or next, or even a little after that, it’s coming.

This is just my theory, but I always suggest to send Apple feedback on what the users want to see, that doesn’t mean they will grant the request, but Apple does listen to their customer base with certain things. I think that’s the best way to express yourself, because they likely will never know that you created a thread on this subject.

Just stopped working tech support for Apple very recently and I can tell you this is not true. They tell their employees to tell you that if you call support to make you feel heard. But those suggestions mean nothing. Apple feels that the “average consumer” has no idea what is good for their tech and the senior advisors are trained to tell you to submit feedback to developers on things that you want just so they can get off the call with you. After all, they’re only supposed to talk to you for 16 minutes or they start to get back rankings and risk losing their job. A lot of shady stuff behind the scenes people.

You’re right, it’s not. I was implying that smart invert hopefully isn’t a gate way to believing dark mode will never exist. Regarding what Apple will and will not due, they are competitively unpredictable. Generally, sometimes they give little hints of what we might see, but over the years that’s been proven time and time again that dark mode has not happened. So it’s difficult to say in my opinion.

This is all very interesting information. Thank you for sharing this. And it all seems very believable, because I can’t see Apple believing that the average consumer doesn’t understand their mind set what’s best for implementation of software and technology.

Whenever I activate dark mode in browsers (PC - all browsers, and also Firefox for iOS) some sites can't display certain contents, even though different pages fully accept this feature. A few pages don't accept this kind of setting, meaning that we need to include them in a list to not use it. Otherwise the text or some images won't be viewed properly.

Is this a limitation from dark mode or the fault lies with the webmaster from these sites?

Other than that I also want to see dark mode everywhere, for the reasons stated in this thread:
