iOS 10.3 theatre mode

Despite the Instagram guy looking like a fabrication, I still think we'll see a 10.3 beta, and relatively soon. And I suspect it will have some fairly significant updates, perhaps even including the rumored Theater Mode. But I would never, ever trust someone who purports to be an Apple employee revealing anything about any future release, hardware or software. They just don't operate that way.
By the way, more cold water:

not Photoshop, thats a real picture.. I've seen it on a reputable website... the guy is sitting behind cook.... that being said the picture definitely doesn't belong to this fake developer guy, he picked it off the internet and used it.
Agreed it's an optical illusion, my bad. But glad everyone also agrees it's not really evidence. This guy is a fake.
You're correct, based on their past, that Apple would more than likely pitch Dark Mode as a "Major Feature" but isn't that a sad state of affairs?
[I'd love Dark Mode btw and would have it on constantly by default]
Can Apple release 2 beta in 2 days?seems unlikely because they just released 10.2.1 beta 3 today
Logically that should definitely knock back the timescales on 10.3
I don't think they've had concurrent Betas running before have they?
"Based on their past" you could say that about nightshift aswell. Un-apple-like that they didnt saved this feature for ios 10.
I have no source about this but in the past I multiply read about the fact that apple will publish bigger features in "minor" updates instead of saving every idea for the yearly new features explosion.
Could be a red herring or it could be what others have speculated: a modified Do Not Disturb feature. Who knows. Maybe we'll find out or maybe we'll find out we were all trolled.
They've had it with iOS 9.2.1 and iOS 9.3, and they released some bigger changes with iOS 9.3 as well, like Night Shift.
I'm really hoping 2017 will see a return to form, but Apple for some time how have shown a lack of innovation preferring waiting to "perfect" copied ideas rather than leading from the front.
These features have then been spun by marketing as something unique, when in reality they've been available on other platforms for months.

As far as Nighshift is concerned, I could be wrong but wasn't this on the iOS 9 slide as an unmentioned feature in the launch presentation and just delayed slightly on release?
I wonder how that sonny dickson guy will feel if ios 10.3 is not released tomorrow
Ignore the Apple developer and focus on Sonny instead. Even if a 10.3 with theatre mode doesn't release tomorrow it doesn't mean 10.3 won't be coming. It's a little too soon to say it's not happening. Plus that rumor is oddly specific.
Oh well, we'll see.

I think this is nothing more than a revised Do Not Disturb mode.
There's no way Apple would promote people using their cell phones in a movie theater. Why would any professional company openly support the douchbag losers who use their phones in the most rude way possible, being on it during a movie in a public theater. I think you should be immediately kicked out of the theater if caught using it during a movie.
A true dark mode, would be considered a "theme" imo, and Apple has not released any theming on iOS yet, that would be a big deal for them, and they wouldn't just casually introduce such a huge thing for iOS in the middle of iOS 10. Trust me, they'd milk that as a major feature and be a part of the keynote speech for iOS 11, if themes ever come out to iOS
Something I've not seen discussed is whether it is some sort of feature related to AirPlay over the Apple TV. Seems unlikely, but hey, you never know!
Theater doesn't necessarily have to mean anything as far as actually using it in a theater (movie or otherwise), but more about using your device while you are watching something at home or something like that, essentially more of an "atmosphere" type of thing than actual location/designation.
If it's a dark mode, Theatre mode could be marketed as a "solution to the problem" or "only for emergencies". Plus they could always change the name.
Damn if its not the dark mode everyone wants, I will be heavily I mean HEAVILY disa. Really. Im so hyped about something like this since iphone 4s with eclipse. And now with these screenshots found in a beta.. the rumours about ios 10.3.. theater mode.. so close now. So close..
EDIT: I got it!!!!!!!!! It has to do with the new home app. Theater mode = one tap to switch the lights off, apple tv and popcorn machine on etc.

I was just about to say the same thing. Instead of having to swipe to the third pane, you have the button right there. Home automation.
Sorry but Theatre Mode for Dark Mode just seems stupid, because it really would give people the wrong idea about using phones in a theatre.

'Theatre mode' on other devices..
Could be mostly about Apple Watch not lighting up when you move?

The only thing about that is that it would be quite limited as to how many people would be able to get use of it. That said, it certainly doesn't preclude it from being something like that.
