The next step is home automation scenes, the popcorn shaped button will be 3d touchable and voila there you have "good morning" scene, "good night" scene etc
 
Perhaps the popcorn icon could be this one from the 'Home' app options?

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.
True, the presumption seems to be that Theatre mode is getting a prime spot in control center, but if this is what it is won't it be on the HomeKit page? If this is what turns out to be I'm sure some people will be disappointed.

Though it seems more logical than the potential "encouraging phone use in the theatre" drama. (No pun intended)
 
Ok first off I don't know if it's happening or not, but I see where a lot of people are saying that apple would not release this during a middle of an os. One thing you guys have to consider is iPhone sales are down. So apple may release something like this to boost sales. People may buy a new iPhone or come back from android to iPhone to get the dark mode. And I personally hate the white screen texting I would like the Black much better.

All smartphone sales are down, this is not just an iPhone problem. The market has reached saturation. A dark mode is not going to sell devices, especially considering this feature would not be released until March at the earliest and anyone that knows anything about iPhones knows that September is the launch. So they wouldn't buy in March, they would wait for the rumored iPhone 8 in September.

How do you know it will be march before they would release it? Someone on here earlier said on 9.3 it only took like 10 days to release it fully to the public

Not to mention they said dark mode was hidden in iOS 10

No. 9.3 was in beta for 7 betas. First one came out Jan 11 and the last came out March 14 with the public release March 21. Over 2 months of testing. Apple's event was March 21st.

Additionally, the 'dark mode' code you are referring to was in 10.0 Beta 1, but was never seen again in 10.0 Beta 2 or later.

So why would it of been in a beta if it won't actually happen?

Apple has released various new features like Night Shift without the need of a brand new major iOS version. So just based on that those statements don't really hold much water--they are certainly a possibility, but not a certainty or anything even close to it.
 
I think Apple would introcude a real dark mode with the new OLED iPhone. Would make sense.
OR:

"And now iPhone 8's new display technology REALLY makes Dark Mode come into its own..."

That Felix guy also posted an iOS 10 update page, similar to the 10.3 one, back in April with a soon hashtag so take that as you will.

Are you referring to Sonny Dickson or the fake Apple engineer? Because Sonny Dickson is not just some random guy making a joke, he's had many apple predictions in the past, most of which have come to be reality... Not always in the timeframe he predicts but he is usually spot on.
 
I wish (although highly doubt) that 10.3 beta 1 comes out today. I don't care if dark mode doesn't come today (although I really want it) but I want new features to play with. Gimme anything apple. I'm struggling here. Bored to death of iOS already.
just like you ! ;)
