Q: iOS 10 Clock

I opened Clock for the first time in iOS10 and was aghast to find out that it now has white lettering on a black background, and there is no way to turn it back to having a much more readable, easier on the eyes, black lettering on a white background. I contacted Apple Support and the only suggestion they had was to give feedback to Apple.

 

The other annoying feature of Clock in iOS 10 is the Bedtime feature. Click it and you are told: Going to bed and waking up at the same times every day are keys to healthy sleep.

 

Oh, really? Give me a break. I don't need my iPhone to tell me when to go beddy bye and when to wake up. This is the most infantile feature yet.

    The program is called "World Clock." I used it constantly for global time zone comparison. Once again improvement destroys benefits. The previous clock app had a simple visual display that clearly contrasted daylight and nighttime zones with analog clocks in circles. The solid black background defeats the purpose. It is useless. I hate the black background, hate the digital display.

    Agree 100% about the inverted colors being a terrible, awful, no good, very bad idea .. I even asked Support if it was a bug.. yes-I've left a formal complaint.. there are studies that say black background white font is hard in the eyes..if you don't like it send an email to Support or Tim Cook or both..
