During today's WWDC keynote at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California, Apple announced a plethora of new features and enhancements coming to iOS 13, the next major update to the world's best mobile operating system.
A few hours before the WWDC 2019 keynote is scheduled to kick off, Benjamin Geskin posted a claimed iOS 13 screenshot that pictures a redesigned Reminders app in Dark Mode.
Hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd updated the iOS 11.0-12.1.2-centric unc0ver jailbreak tool to version 3.2.0 on Saturday with a multitude of improvements to the user interface and to the reliability of the jailbreak process itself.
Pwn20wnd announced the update just this evening via Twitter, linking to the official download page:
iOS 13 is widely expected to bring a new system-wide Dark Mode which debuted on the Mac last year in macOS Mojave, and now we have our first screenshots showing it in action.
On June 3, Apple is going to host its keynote speech for this year's Worldwide Developers Conference. At that event, we're likely to see the company announce iOS 13, the next big update for the mobile operating system. Ahead of that, concept artists and designers envision what it could all look like.
The Apple blogosphere was set on fire as soon as evidence surfaced three days ago that iOS 13 might bring mouse support to iPad as an accessibility option. But how precisely would that work, you ask… Here's one artist's rendition of iOS 13 with iPad mouse support and other perks.
A hidden accessibility feature on your iPhone called Smart Invert lets you enjoy a Dark Mode-like experience on your handset on demand, but you still need to invoke it manually if you wish to use it.
With that in mind, iOS developer Cole Cabral has just released a new jailbreak tweak in Cydia called AutoInvert that automatically facilitates your handset’s Smart Invert feature based on your current display brightness level.
Dark mode-centric features are on the rise across the board, from typical apps that you can install from the App Store, to the very add-ons that you download from Cydia to enhance the native iOS experience.
That said, those who use Chrome on their iPhones or iPads instead of Safari might take a liking to a new free jailbreak tweak called DarkChrome by iOS developer Nathan Whitaker, as it can provide the dark mode experience you’re looking for in the official Chrome app for iOS.
Facebook a month and a half ago began testing a pure black interface in Messenger's mobile app, and today a new Dark Mode setting has gone live for all Messenger users globally.
Apart from Facebook and Twitter, Instagram is perhaps one of the most popular mobile-centric social platforms, and yet it still hasn’t adopted a native dark mode interface of any sort. With that in mind, wouldn’t it be great if you could just skip to the beat yourself?
Those in agreeance might take a liking to a new free jailbreak tweak called ChromaGram by iOS developer Revulate. As depicted in the screenshot examples above, this tweak lets you colorize the Instagram app however you’d like, whether you’re into dark mode-centric aesthetics or something else entirely.
We can only hope that Apple is working on some sort of native dark mode for iOS that extends to the software keyboard we interact with each and every day, but until then, we’ll need to rely on jailbreak tweaks to get what we want.
Dark Keyboard is a subtly-named free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Thomz that forces your iPhone or iPad to display the dark keyboard by default in virtually every typing interface that you can imagine on the iOS platform.
The mobile Twitter app has included a darkened interface as an optional feature for quite some time now despite people complaining that it was a bit on the gray side. Thursday, the company introduced pure black mode in Twitter for iOS along with automatic dark modes.
