Apple rolled out iOS 13 update to iPhones last month. iOS 13 brought a host of new features onto Apple’s iPhone. This includes new privacy and security settings, an updated Camera app, a smarter Siri, Memoji Stickers and a Quick Path keyboard. iOS 13 update also brought Dark Mode on to Apple’s iPhones.
If you are wondering why dark mode then the answer is pretty simple. It is lighter on the eyes, it saves battery and it definitely is a pleasant change from iOS’s vibrant light theme. What adds to the overall allure of the dark mode is its robust implementation. Apple has not only redesigned its apps to adopt the system-wide dark theme but it has also bundled special dark theme-friendly wallpapers in the iOS 13 update, which balances the overall aesthetics of the theme.
But not all iPhone models are eligible to get iOS 13 update and by extension access to the dark mode. 7th generation iPod Touch, iPhone SE, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, R, iPhone X, iPhone XR, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max – are the only Apple devices that are eligible to get iOS 13 update.
If you have one of the above mentioned iPhones, here is how you can download iOS 13 on your iPhone:
— Open Settings app on your iPhone.
— Scroll down and tap on General option.
