Before you ask, there IS a "Dark Mode"

That actually looks decent enough, if we keep sending feedback I'm sure the final release will be a decent "Dark Mode".
Maybe you already find out, but iOS 11 have new accessibility option "Smart Invert colors" under Display Accommodations > Invert colors. This option is different from iOS 10, because smart invert don't invert your photos, media and don't invert desktop icon colors as well as in some apps, who already use dark color style.
So, you can try this, if you are bored
P. S. Safari and Youtube don't work with this.
P. S. S. Sorry, if the post already was like this.

Almost 4 months later, how is everyone enjoying Smart Invert Colours? I am using it as my default setting and can't wait for developers to support it (like Twitter just did [looking at you, WhatsApp]).
Even with its little inconsistencies here and there, it works brilliantly.

This pitiful excuse of dark mode from Apple is hilarious. I'm not going to drain my battery just to look at a dark UI because Apple decided to load down the device for rendering all the inverted and non-inverted elements and having to keep all that cached so it doesn't revert back to normal when you reopen an app. My phone's battery is already in bad shape, I'm not going to make it any worse LOL.
For the 100000th time. It’s not dark mode. It’s not intended to be dark mode. Therefore it’s not a pitiful excuse from Apple for dark mode. It’s strictly an accessibility feature for those with vision problems.
I know. I also find it funny that people call it that. My point still stands though, that feature makes the devices run slowly and drain the battery, essentially defeating the purpose of it existing anyways, what's the point of it if your phone dies before you can even use it.
Where is it shown that those are the consequences of that feature?I know. I also find it funny that people call it that.

As I have pointed out since the first person wanted dark mode. Dark mode does not work on LCD devices. It will consume more power as the display is naturally light colored and it has to push dark colors. OLED on the other hand saves power from using dark mode.I know.

Once Safari and FaceBook apps support it properly i'll use it full time.
Or, y'know, they could just give us a proper dark theme...

You realize that iOS has to render smart invert right? That means the processor will heat up and consume a ton of power. This renders the feature redundant and almost useless.
Pretty sure that with LCD there really isn't any (at least meaningful) difference between colors and power usage.

Is there something that shows this actually being the case?
Have you ever used it? It’s not rocket science to figure out that iOS has to render it on top of standard iOS. When I enable it, my phone instantly warms up and my battery starts draining fast, it gets pretty laggy too.
Haven't had that kind of experience with it. It is in fact not rocket science, but computer science. The device handles it just about the same way that it handles "normal" rendering.
I have and it was on stale and fresh installs of 11 on my 6S.

That is where you are wrong and don’t understand how the invert feature works. It has to filter the stock UI, invert it and overlay it on top of the UI, smart invert then has to pick out elements to remain normal and render that into the overlay.
While it's a task, like many other things that the device is doing, it doesn't seem like there's anything that shows that it somehow get the processor to "heat up" and use "a ton of power".
