Hi, just curious if this means something or not:
My iPad mini boots with a black screen and white Apple logo, while my 5S & iPad Air boot with a white screen and black Apple logo. How come the difference? Has it to do with a setting? Dark Mode or so? If yes, how can I change the settings?

By design. the color of your device impacts the boot screen.

My wife's white iPhone boots with a white screen, black apple.

my space gray iPhone 6+ boots with a black screen white logo.
 
@Armen: But only on newer devices (since iPhone 5s / A7-CPU-generation I guess).
The white Mini 1 of my mum boots with a black screen/white logo while my white Air 1 and 5s boot with white screen/black logo.
 
Works even on iPhone 5. I think the iPhones gotten it originally since about iPhone 5, but I don't think the iPads did, at least not at that time and perhaps only sometime later.

Thanks for the clarity.
 
Hi, all of my devices are white, also the iPad mini. It boots with a black screen, hmm. And its not too old either. I find it strange, but okay, probably doesnt´t mean anything. Thanks a lot for the input :D

It likely never came to iPad mini so it uses the default black background with white Apple logo no matter what color the device is.
