Here's an aspect of this I never see mentioned:
DARK MODE SAVES BATTERY on mobile devices.
The screen uses energy to emit light. The less light it has to emit, the less energy it needs. The longer your battery lasts.
- ketzu 6y agoIt's not only mentioned quite often, it is especially in the article. They argue that dark mode only saves battery if: * Dark mode is truly black (not dark grey) and * You use OLED or AMOLED screens. But when that's the case it can save up to 41% of energy. They then argue, that if dark mode were to be a health detriment, that would be more important than battery charge. (Note: That's what they argue. There are results that show that power consumtion scales mostly linearly with output brightness. Which would contradict the results in the article.)
