Can you finally implement dark mode now that Apple is going to do it?

I have no idea why MS and Google both have such an aversion to dark themes - MS has grudgingly added it in Windows 10 modern apps/dialog, Google loves showing a dark theme in preview builds but never in the final product.

Modern designers for some reason are all sociopaths and love huge areas of blinding white designed to blind users and cause headaches. I'm really glad Apple is leading the way as they tend to popularize stuff like this.
 
On modern LCD panels, dark pixels actually use more power. Battery life may be impacted.

Like with all things, "it depends". Within the next year and 4 months every phone Apple makes will be OLED. And their two flagships this year will be OLED. For desktops it matters not very much and laptops I doubt it would make significant change as the UI elements don't take up particularly massive parts of the screen.
