What concerns me is that if Apple does ever make the jump to OLED displays, all this white and full white pages would be an absolute battery destroyer for OLED.. Black is obviously lowest power used for OLED..
I don't think they would do that. Steve Jobs said something like OLED is an inferior technology, and if I remember correctly Tim Cook shares that opinion.
Fortunately, there are a few apps left that still change the display to the (much easier on the eye) white text on black - or rather dark grey - background..
Eg the Podcasts app.
It's a relief on the eyes to look at that app!
I felt the same way about iOS6, but we didn't have a quick way to control brightness.
There is a brightness control in Command Center, use it.
I don't get this. So every time my lighting situation changes I should pull down the control center and adjust the brightness? Maybe it's just me, but that seems to add an extra step to every time I switch rooms or go outside, that's just nuts.
I only change my brightness when there is a drastic change in room brightness. Slight changes don't bother me. My point was that I also considered iOS6 too bright for dark rooms so there were times that I had to change the brightness manually. It was always easy to do on the iPad, but I'm happy that its now easy to do on the iPhone.
I am surprised Apple did that as I am sure they had to have realized how rough all white is on the eyes.
Yeah maybe I'm just more sensitive to it. I usually have my phone pretty bright, I work in a very well lit flourescent light room and even then the white on white is jarring. I almost killed myself earlier when I turned my phone on in the radiology darkroom, I thought I had burned my eyes out.
Whats the deal with the dark gray keyboard I see (usually on logins) and then the normal white keyboard for everything else.. I don't understand why there's two seperately themed keyboards.
Man, I can't believe there is so much blinding white, didn't Apple ever think we would use our phones in the dark? I know we can invert colors with accessibility options, but that's a poor solution as it also inverts colors. Something like windows high contrast mode would be nice. I see an increased contrast option, but I can't figure out what it affects.
Apple should consider the darker themes like Android, better yet give us a choice of a light AND dark theme. The phone borders on unusable in the dark.
Not only that but when I logged into my Dropbox account I got the iOS6 keyboard!

Apps using older APIs will make calls to the older stuff, i.e. keyboard, etc. So that makes sense
