Apple’s upcoming 2018 firmware update will focus on providing a stable experience to users. But will it include the highly-anticipated night mode? Let’s find out below.

Night mode might finally come to iOS 12
iOS 11 already comes with a quasi-night mode called “Color Invert”. Unveiled back in 2017, this option never quite worked system-wide.
With that said, this option is still the closest you could get to a full-fledged night mode or night mode on iOS.
iOS 11 also comes with the complete code for a night mode, which Apple is yet to implement. Once they flesh it out a bit more, they will roll it out for the masses, hopefully in the upcoming update.
This is precisely what makes a lot of users think that iOS 12 will be the first iOS firmware to receive this feature.
Moreover, popular iPhone applications such as YouTube have already begun introducing a native dark mode feature. So there’s no good reason why Apple should stay behind.
Working Night mode alternatives for iOS
It’s really a toss-up between dark mode and no dark mode for iOS 12.
Until Apple releases iOS 12, you can continue using tweaks such as NoctisXI and Eclipse X for a better night-time smartphone experience.
You can’t go wrong with either of these jailbreak tweaks and they provide a stunning night mode when used in tandem.
This is yet another benefit of using a jailbreak – you get to test better features and effects before they are even released.
A lot of features that Apple decides to implement on iOS 12 should already be achievable on iOS 11. This is why owning a jailbroken device pays off in the long run.
What do you think – will Apple finally implement a true dark mode for iPhone? Leave your comments below.

A full fledged night mode instead the smart color invert would be really great, as i’m a software engineer and mostly work @Night and/or in the dark and the “normal” interface is pretty arduous to my eyes…
Even I end up using my iPhone a lot during the night on weekends so a night mode would be so nice. But so far Eclipse and Noctis are holding up very well.
As i haven’t mine JailBroken it doesn’t work for me…. 🙁 And i don’t intend to JailBreak mine, so Apple has to do something! And if they already have that Night Mode in iOS but just need to implement/activate it, where is the Problem?!
I believe they are saving it up for iOS 12 considering they didn’t implement in iOS 11.
I think i can wait few day’ish for iOS 12 to be released, we waited so long for the night mode, what are a couple of days more…..
What i can’t wait for is….. In the past you were able to “Fine Search” the music tracks by moving your finger away from the time-bar of the track. As i’m mostly listening to mix tapes which are between 1 and 2 hours long…. Don’t understand why they threw that feature “overboard”
Agreed. Apple does make weird design choices sometimes.
