Apple redesigned the iOS App Store alongside the release of iOS 11 last year, and one of the App Store’s new features is App Store editors curating themed lists of apps. The group’s latest app list is entitled “Does This Come in Black?” and highlights 18 iOS apps that offer a “pure black mode.”
The “pure black mode” offered by the apps takes advantage of the OLED screen on the iPhone X, which can display far greater contrast than the LCD screens found on other iPhone models. Blacks and dark colors look deeper, and other colors appear more vibrant. Dark mode also helps hide the “notch” at the top of the iPhone X display, which many users find bothersome.
Here are the 18 best applications that boast a “pure black mode,” in the opinion of Apple’s App Store editors:
- Reeder 3 – $4.99

- Instapaper – Free
- Halide Camera – $5.99
