With the first developer preview of iOS 18 being released for testing, here's a video where I compare the Light and Dark Mode app icons for this new version of Apple's flagship smartphone OS!

The weather one should have a moon.

[@tranhoaithong04]

It’s a good idea

[@roundabout-host]

But it's probably impossible to have a moon since they may require the shape to be the same, and only the colours to be changed.

[@Bari-gd]

BRO YOU ARE SMART

[@ToyWorldAdventures274]

Yes

[@NicoBlazen]

I mean, they could probably make it so when the sun has gone to sleep in real life, the moon should appear and when the sun rise up and should be back with the sun icon.

[@Salvador_324]

I like light mode

[@Morrisdweck1]

3:58 journal: Wow I'm like 1 pixel different.

[@techmanshorts84]

I was impressed from wwdc and all the major and minor updates to iOS 18, iPad os 18, macOS 15 sequoia, tvOS 18 and watchOS 11 have the betas for iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, it’s mind blowing love the new control center

[@williamthecoolboy]

Apple: Dark mode is more consistent than ever with these new icons! Microsoft: **walks away nervously**

[@brurmonemt]

Google with Android: Do you mind repeating that?

[@Bo-11]

As an android fanboy, iPhone is 100% copying Android, there's literally no way it's an "innovation" from Apple

You should compare the IOS 18 icons with the ones from IOS 15-17. I’ve actually noticed some differences between them. But even if they are very VERY difficult to notice. They are still there when you compare them side by side.

[@McCar0n]

точно изменились значки калькулятора и почты

[@GuyHacker]

I want to see the coloured icons vs. Android Material You icons

[@pankarol_2014pl]

Very very nice the dark icons iOS 18 👍🏻

[@wardengamer374]

The music used gives me nostalgia from the Software Showcase series by Computer Clan!

[@JackStavris]

I always despised the Phone, Messages and FaceTime icons in iOS ever since they got that neon green colour like 10 years ago. The Mac versions since Big Sur was a bit nicer with the 3D bubbles but I still never quite liked the iOS versions. The new dark mode icons sets make them look a lot better, less in-your-face imo.

[@Xpoint.ZeroSuou]

A lot of the things I like about Apple are Apple firsts. Props on the Dark icons, too! Whenever a feature Android enjoyed longer hits iPhone, I always say Apple took the time to get it right…and I wholeheartedly believe that. Pisses off Android users every time~

[@supertoadnova]

Can we have a download link for the dark icons?

[@temadme]

No it's not for app it's for IOS to do it click edit and u can see icons to change it

[@Unknown-64209]

Please make an android error video and show the linux penguin screen on there. 🙏 For context: that logo means that the phone id no longer having the android files. All which could be done is to write the filed by edl (not sure) or manually remove the nand and write the data.

[@saveliyivanov9943]

Apple: Now you can move icons freely Google: That was on Android 0.9 Apple: But we have also added new icons that adapt to the color of the wallpaper... Google: … Apple: Good artists copy, great ones steal

[@Paulik76910]

But Xiaomi HyperOs has a change of icons (though to certain colors, for example green, and also some third-party applications are repainted in the same color)

[@Odswietny]

Samsung should have this too in my opinion.

[@CreatorKZ]

Microsoft, a company that has never learned to fully synchronize the UI, and Apple, which introduces “innovations” in a couple of years for 500$. These two are worth each other.
