Oh, I understand that.

As Cody said, if you already have a dark mode, it’s probably not that hard to check if it’s activated on the iOS level and respond appropriately.

My point was, until that happens and most apps support it, it’s functional useless anyway. Who gives a shit if the OS settings menu is dark when all my apps are going to open in bright white anyway.

You need to conform to the iPhone core apps more :D That or your third party developers do...

I would, but I like using functionally good apps. (:

Apps that aren't in dark mode aren't function for my eye balls.

Oh, I understand that.

It doesn’t even change the quick access menu that you pull up from the bottom at all, which is like the one thing I think would be most important.

Dark Mode actually sort of sucks.

It doesn’t look great (text messages are still bright blue or green), and most apps don’t change anything. Maybe that will change going forward, but no app I have recognizes that dark mode is enabled and responds appropriately.

This isn't like inverted colors or anything. It's a manual change on core iOS apps themselves. Any third party apps won't have dark mode. However, with this whole thing, more and more apps are offering a dark theme which makes me happy.

If you are a third party app, you toggle a switch when you build and dark mode is supported.

Yeah, but I'm sure that is only for certain items. You still have to custom make it and test it to make sure it's not wonky. I mean, that's what I'm guessing, I haven't actually developed for it or anything.

I mean it makes sense. The computational power of the 6 is almost nothing these days. How do you expect a dam not to break if you upgrade the flow of the river but not the dam itself?

Because it's a fucking phone that I only use to talk, text, email, set timers, browse the web, and record audio. That's not a huge river, and it runs iOS 12 just fine!

Just because you use a portion of the river doesn't mean the entire river isn't flowing through your dam.

TIL Cody is one of those curmudgeony 40-something year old boomers who expects any old technology to fit his needs.

Get with the times, old man.

No I just want dark mode without buying a new phone lol.

Tried both out last night. This greatly increases the likelihood of my using Apple Arcade.

I am 100% totally on board with Apple Arcade when it comes to Macs later in the month.

I'm just a mad at Apple they won't let me install iOS 13 on my iPhone 6. It's only five years old! They give you a new battery for cheap and then oh no your phone won't run shit anymore!

That's super cool. I might have to try it out as well.
