Invert whites to blacks + shift all colors to red scale = theater mode (aka blood moon mode)
Why does the video say invert was introduced in iOS 10? It's been around MUCH longer than that. I'm not sure how far before iOS 6, but it was definitely there in 6.
1) Assuming that an LED-based display is coming this year to the iPhone 8, will we see this enabled as default?
2) Is OLED guaranteed? I keep seeing AI refer to it without any reference to better technologies like microLED.
3) I'm skeptical that this will be perfect by the time iOS 11 officially launches if 3rd-party apps aren't yet on board with it. Wouldn't think be a 3rd-party developers issue to set flags in iOS to say which items shouldn't be inverted?
4) There's nothing wrong with saying | ō-lēd |, but this is the first time OLED pronounced that way. I've always heard and used specifically saying each letter of the initialism. Since | ō-lēd | does reduce the number of phonemes spoken, I hope this does catch on.
Just two questions: 1. How come the video went off on a tangent and started to talk about android devices? 2. Will the feature work on iPads and iPod Touches? There was no reference about iPads and iPod Touches in the video.
Yup the real reason iOS 7 was so bright was simply to extend battery life, we should see a trend in colors shifting to dark during the oled era.
