Yes I am very serious because companies like BMW already have a fantastic mobile interface and mapping solution. I think the reason is that BMW has been developing their phone & multi-media interfaces, plus mapping solutions, for over ten years, so they have a huge head start over Apple. For some auto manufacturers, who have not invested over a decade and tens of millions in their own solutions, CarPlay may be a good solution.
I should have been more clear in my criticism, but when I think of the $600 CarPlay option for BMW, I get so mad because it was a huge waste of money compared to BMW's solution. I was the very first person at my BMW dealership to purchase CarPlay and was so excited, but thank goodness BMW provides an option to completely disable the CarPlay option (that they sold me). Sucks I wasted $600, but the BMW interface has many more features than CarPlay, a much better UI, plus their maps (and their mapping user interface) is 1000% better than CarPlay mapping.
If it's significant, and on something battery powered, then yes, battery life could be something to be excited about with dark mode. I wasn't kidding about people being excited about this feature on computers. Even desktops. I can't see the saving being that much on a device that isn't running on a battery. And to me, its poTAYto - poTAHto. I don't find a bright background annoying. I really don't get what's EXCITING about dark mode but if it gives you more battery life then go ahead and use it.Well, if you have an oled phone it could* extend battery life, that’s quite a good bonus. Other than that I think it’s just aesthetic preference. I find iOS looks horrible at night with the retina scorching white everywhere

Apple has a 5 year support policy, doesn't it? The 7 came out a mere 2 years ago. I'd say they'd use the 6S as the cutoff.Mark my words. They'll find a reason to only permit iPhone 7 and newer to upgrade. Everyone else will have to buy new phones if they want the cool, new features.
And in terms of monitors, it eases backlight stress. Which is important on IPS monitors because they log the backlight hours. The less intense the backlight needs to operate via brightness or color output, the longer your whites will remain white, and no yellowing or darkening.
Any words for ECG app release date for other regions
Apple's iOS 13 operating system, which will likely be previewed this summer at Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference, will include a number of major updates that iOS users have been desiring for years.
According to Bloomberg, iOS 13 will include a dark mode to match the dark mode that was first introduced on macOS with macOS Mojave. It will allow for "easier nighttime viewing."
Improvements to the CarPlay interface are expected, and many iPad-specific upgrades are in the works. Apple will introduce a new Home screen, an option to tab through multiple pages of a single app as you can do in a web browser, and improvements to file management.
Previous rumors have suggested Apple will also introduce a multitasking feature for displaying two windows of the same app side by side, and Apple is expected to expand the availability of its cross-platform apps initiative to developers, making it easier to port apps created for iOS to macOS.
Rumored services that are in the works, including a magazine subscription service in Apple News and a television streaming service, will also come to iOS 13 through updates that will be made available during 2019.

Seems like the cutoff is 5 years. End of the line for 5S on IOS 12. I think the iphone 6 and newer should get ios 13.
6 came out in April or Jun 2014. I'm not totally sure if they would. It'd be nice if they did.
The iphone 6 and 6+ was announced on Sept. 9, 2014. While there is no guarantee of anything, Apple seems to be supported it's devices for 5 years.
