Why you should use dark mode on the iPhone

This feature has only been available on MacBooks, but soon you can use it on your iPhone, too. Here's why you should.

Apple announced at WWDC 2019 that it is bringing Dark Mode to iOS to give anyone with an iPhone the chance to use the alternative color scheme. Until this year, Dark Mode was only available with MacOS on Mac computers.
The new feature is currently in Apple's beta iOS and should be available with iOS 13, which will come out with the newest iPhone in September.

What is dark mode?

Like its name implies, dark mode darkens the user interface on Apple devices. Basically, the appearance is inverted so that instead of black text on a white background, you see light or white text on a black background.
The feature is system-wide, so all native Apple apps will support dark mode, and so will your notifications and widgets. Plus, Dark Mode will be available for third-party developers to make it part of their app. The effect is most noticeable on apps where the majority appears white, such as Apple Health and Calendar.
