Following a concept video on the Polish blog My Apple suggesting a possible look for a full-system dark
“Dark mode in iOS essentially concentrates all of your phone's on-screen controls under your thumbs,” Le Masne said.
Dark mode will mean much more than just inverting black and white pixels.
“Dark mode will significantly reduce the contrast betweencorners of the screen and body. They will essentially be indistinguishable because OLED displays, unlike their LCD counterparts, do not illuminate black pixels in any way,” the designer wrote.
As a result, application designers will have tochange their approaches, because they will not work with a blank sheet in Sketch, which can be sequentially filled from top to bottom, but in the middle of a dark environment.
Estimated functional area at the bottom of the screenIt fits well with the ergonomics of a thumb-oriented design that seeks to focus the user's attention on the main actions, rather than distributing it in a rectangular window.
Another concept shows what a functional area might look like.
If Apple really decides to introduce the dark theme of the user interface in iOS 11, applications will need to be redesigned for dark mode so as not to stand out from the general background, the designer warned.
“The potential hidden in dark mode is muchmore than you might think,” Le Masne said. If you want to create some iPhone 8 and iOS 11 mockups yourself, don't forget to download iOS 10 templates for Sketch and Photoshop.
Here are a few more concepts depicting possible details of the future iPhone 8 and pre-installed software:

An OLED-based display has a number of advantages.
Because OLED technology highlights individualpixels and does not spend a lot of energy on backlighting, the new iPhone with a display of this type will have many advantages over traditional smartphones:
- Increased screen resolution
- Lower power consumption
- Greater image clarity
- Lightweight screen assembly
- More accurate colors
- Better visibility in sunlight.
- Deep black
- High color saturation
- Wider viewing angle
- Great maximum brightness
As we already wrote, some experts believe that Apple can use a flat screen instead of a curved screen to reduce the price and increase production.
