So there IS a dark mode they didn't discuss?

Found this. Beta testers, let us know what this is all about!

Sorry the forums app for some reason would not let me paste a link so I screen shot the story from Apple News App

Didn’t you just post this in the iOS 11 beta thread?....

There’s a new “Smart Invert” option. It looks pretty cool on the home screen but it causes really weird color effects in most apps. Not quite what we are looking for in a true dark mode.

I think that Smart Invert probably requires developers to tag app assets a certain way so that the system knows how to treat them when the colors are inverted. That is why you're seeing inconsistent behavior all over the place.

Maybe that will be something they save and show off with the iPhone 8 and its rumored OLED screen.

Since it's a "redesigned" version of invert colors, isn't it likely to just be a new version of the accessibility shortcut called "Invert Colors."

They are two different things

Thanks! That looks much more useful.

You would think the way  is adopting jailbreak tweaks into iOS they could just get this right and move on.

Does anyone have any screen shots of this pseudo dark mode looks like in various apps or screens?

 

[2020Dt]

it creates a black skin for almost everything except third party apps.

 

[tadnishida]

Is this feature something an app can detect and change it own colors accordingly?

 

[C6TX6]

It still looks. mostly negative.
All images are negative in apps, safari, etc.
Utterly useless.

It's a first dev beta for christ sakes. Give it time to mature.

 

[2020Dt]

its pretty good except for using instagram but movie box is already dark

Give iOS a theme store. It's way past its time. iOS feels dated like comparing Windows 95 to 10 LOL.
