Ever woke up in a cold sweat because you dreamt your iPhone camera automatically switched to Night mode and you couldn’t turn the darn thing off? It seems you’re not alone. An X (formerly Twitter) user, gaming streamer, and self-confessed Knicks fan found himself at the center of an iPhone-photography debate, recently, following a seemingly innocuous Tweet about the iPhone’s Night mode. “Whoever added this to the iPhone camera needs to be killed,” said @funnysmartguy12, alongside a close-up of the dreaded yellow Night mode icon. Cue the post going viral and garnering 2.8 million views, 532 comments and counting.
And while I certainly don’t condone the tone of the Tweet – a bit of an overreaction would be an understatement… A quick flick through the comments revealed that people really do have a lot to say about Night mode. Most users seem to fall into one of three camps: Night mode is rubbish and shouldn’t exist at all. Night Mode is an iPhone Camera essential. Night mode has its place on the best iPhones, but it shouldn’t turn on automatically.
