A dark mode for “iOS 10” ?

We’ll know all about the next version of iOS after next week’s keynote address. Until then, we’re left with hopes, rumors, and predictions. The latest “iOS 10” concept presentation comes from iHelpBR, which has released images showing what iOS could look like with a dark mode.

It looks very cool, no?

Apple Music goes on the runway 

Cupertino has partnered with designer Alexander Wang to launch the first fashion channel on Apple Music, according to Vogue. At launch, there are three playlists: Chill, Hype, and Vibe.

As Wang notes:

“Chill is my go-to playlist when I get home, when I need to decompress, or when I’m having a night in …

Hype—those songs are mostly derived from playlists that I’ve played in a party bus or en route to a festival or going out. They are songs that kick up the energy …

Vibe is more a playlist that’s in between, with songs that have high energy and also are great classics. It’s good for having people over, drinks; it’s kind of pregame music.” There you’ll find A$AP Rocky, Rich Homie Quan, and Meek Mill.”

Each playlist is available now to Apple Music subscribers.
