ah right
yes, those are literally the inverse of each other which you can see by 're-inversing' them.

I don't know how I feel about a Halloween theme. :-/
It is one simple toggle

I don't know if it's simple or not (and pointing to one app's implementation is not sufficient to generalize that it's not difficult ). But this is likely not about "hard" or "easy". It's about Apple's product road map. If they aren't intending to do this now ... or ever ... no amount of wishcasting is going to make it happen.
I'm not an expert but I believe because apps use UI elements from Apple , a switch can make the app load the dark version instead of a light version instead.
Many apps use their own UI elements though so it won't switch those.
Although Apple could simply add a toggle and have it make all UI elements black, that just won't work. You'll end up with a lot of apps that simply don't look right/good, or as @Xgm541 mentioned it just won't work for some apps. It might work on some apps, but I just don't think that approach would scale.
What Apple could do is add a simple API that developers could use. This way each app would be able to control the way their apps look in the dark mode, and still have the app switch to a dark mode when the system toggle is on.
Apple could also have the toggle just control their own apps and leave developers to add their own dark modes, each app having to have its own in app toggle, but I think thats a terrible option. I feel this is highly likely to happen, but its a terrible way to do it. There needs to be some way that developers can tie into the system toggle.
As any other company they should listen to their customers petitions if they want to progress in the right way .it's a must in any company, enterprise or whatever
I would be willing to bet that fewer than 10% of iOS users actually care about this feature, at least enough to petition Apple about it. There may be a fair number of others for whom it would be desirable. Apple is a company of finite resources (including time) and they likely have a roadmap extending out at least 5 years. They'll get to it when they want to, not when you want them to.
It may be just me, but I'm starting to think 10.3 isn't coming on January 10.
But it's coming to Apple Watch

Thanks
I wonder if all the Mac pubs who quoted this one person will maybe next time not publish news from just one source.
Yeah, right.
They published a rumor, which didn't quite fully come true...although it seems like there is "theater mode" for watchOS and 10.3 beta did come out, just a bit later than what was mentioned in the rumor. As far as rumors go it's not exactly a completely made up one, and comes from someone that has some proven record of inside information that held up.
Then thats not iOS 10.3, now is it? Thats watchOS. And thats not even out yet (3.2).
laughable how everyone believed someone on twitter that doesnt work at apple, saying itll be here. people act like tim cook said its coming.
