Dark Mode comes to Apple Store app for iOS

By AppleInsider Staff

Apple on Tuesday updated the Apple Store app for iOS with Dark Mode support, allowing customers to shop for products through a largely black user interface.

The latest version 5.8 of the Apple Store app continues Dark Mode integration across the company's first-party app offerings. Apple most recently added Dark Mode to the Apple Support app last week.

A standardized display setting available across Apple's platforms, Dark Mode swaps bright screen elements for darker alternatives in a bid to ease eye strain during nighttime viewing. Not a simple color inversion configuration, the operating mode changes text and other graphical assets from black to white while intelligently retaining color in images.

Apple's shopping app provides users with a direct online portal to the company's digital storefront. With customized purchasing recommendations, product information and specifications, repair options, information about Today at Apple sessions and more, the app acts as a one-stop-shop for everything Apple Store.

The usual unnamed bug fixes and performance enhancements are also included in today's update.

Apple Store for iOS is a free download from the iOS App Store.
