iOS Dark Mode
A study has just been released confirming that using dark mode on iPhones with OLED screens reduces battery consumption on the device. It is something that we have always commented on and that is in our article with the tips to save battery on the iPhone Specifically, it is tip number 26.
If in addition to this we add a pure black wallpaper to our iOS device, the battery consumption will be much less.
That's why if you're looking for a way to arrive with a higher battery percentage at the end of the day, we advise you to activate the dark mode of your iPhone with iOS.
Save around 30% battery life by using iOS dark mode daily:
This video that we pass you below you can see the test that demonstrates energy savings:
As you may have been able to verify, after 7:33h. of continuous use of 2 mobiles, one with night mode activated and the other with normal mode, we see that the one with night mode arrives with 30% battery when the other iPhoneis running out of battery.
Here you have the graph of the test:

Yes, we have to say that this only happens if you have an iPhone with an OLED screen. When only the LEDs light up in the areas where there are colors, in the areas of the screen where there is no color, black, the LEDs do not light up and do not consume energy.
The following are those with this type of screen:
- iPhone 12 PRO / Max
- 12 PRO / Max
- 12 mini
- iPhone 11 Pro / Max
- XS / Max
- iPhone X
If you have an iPhone with an LCD screen the energy savings will not be the same. If they carry out any test with them, we will tell you about it on the web. At the moment we do not know if much battery is really saved by using the night mode on devices with LCD screens .
