iPhone 11 Pro Do you use dark mode on your iPhone during the day or have it transition with sunset?

The dark side of the force is strong. You think darkness is your ally. But you merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man

By then, it was nothing to me but blinding! -Bane

Unlike others, I have not adopted the dark. Light mode all the time.

I must be the only person in the world that

a) can’t see any point in dark mode at all
b) loathes dark mode with a passion
c) will never use it
d) did I mention that I hate it and think it’s totally pointless

you are not alone. I do see the point, and I do understand why people like it, but it’s not for me.

It’s saves quite a bit of battery life on oled screens. So not totally pointless.

It’s not much of a saving and my battery life is more than good enough for my usage and I’m a heavy user.
To be fair, that was never the reason it was introduced or why so many people were asking for it.
That is just a fortunate side effect

30% is quite a saving imo
 
I use dark mode 24/7.
I find the theme blends perfectly with my naked Space Gray iPhone X, it's definitely easier on the eye in low light environments, and it slightly improves battery performance.
 
I have it set for sunset to sunrise. But I also override it, depending on the weather. Today for instance...it's cloudy and dark. So I switched to dark mode. If it was bright and sunny, I'd leave it to go automatically.
 
The sunrise to sunset option confuses me... it never turns on / off according to the sunrise/sunset times in the weather app, and my Mac's dark mode doesn't come on at the same time my phone's does (usually noticeably later).

I am with you on this! I have tried, but cannot get use to it.
 
I love my dark mode. It’s on 24/7. When I occasionally switch back to light mode just to see what it’s like, it hurts to look at all the time! (Not really, but it’s definitely a change in scenery).
I have a iPhone XS Max for work (11 Pro Max for personal). I said I was going to keep light mode on one, but the difference is crazy, especially when I go back and forth more often in the morning catching up on things between the 2 phones. So I’m Dark Mode on both now
 
To me dark mode isn't all that helpful as the app I go to are not configured to dark mode. The only place it seems to work is the front screen.
 
I currently have dark mode set to turn on after sunset, but I'm probably going to go all the time to improve battery life on my XS.
 
Used to be dark mode all the time. Got tired of it. Now I do the automatic transition. Don't care what the battery test video shows. I don't need to squeeze an extra 30% out of my phone. If I did, maybe.
