Switching your phone to dark mode could be a game-changer for your battery life, especially if you have one of 3 iPhones

YouTube channel PhoneBuff posted a video that compares how an iPhone XS Max's battery life performs in both regular and dark mode at the same brightness level.

After hours of use, the dark mode iPhone was at 43% battery, significantly higher than the light mode iPhone, which was at 20%.

The video highlights the major difference in battery life: at the time the iPhone in light mode died, the dark mode iPhone still had 30% battery left.

The iPhone XS, iPhone X, and iPhone 11 Pro are where the major battery savings come in, because they all have OLED screens.

OLED screens produce true black displays by turning off the corresponding pixels. This means that in Dark Mode, any black areas of the screen will be shut off completely, saving battery power.

To turn on dark mode on your iPhone, open up Settings, then go to Display & Brightness. You'll see light and dark mode, plus the option to change the mode depending on the time of day.
