♧ The Myth: Dark Mode is just a style choice and doesn't affect your phone's hardware.
♧ The Truth: If your phone has an OLED screen, Dark Mode is a literal power plant. Unlike standard LCDs that use a backlight for the entire screen, OLED pixels are self-lit. When they show black, they turn off completely. Using Dark Mode can cut your display's power consumption by nearly half, giving you hours of extra battery life.
