> Ironically, apple.com doesn't even support dark mode!
The wording if this makes it sound like supporting dark mode is table stakes. I don't think this is really the case. Personally, I don't expect a site to support dark mode by default.

The irony is that Apple invented dark mode, so I do expect that site to support dark mode by default.

The irony is that Apple invented dark mode

Do you have a source for that? Windows had dark mode in 2016, macOS in 2018 and iOS/Android in 2019.

I'm talking about on the web.

Apple proposed the standard: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3299

Safari 12.1 was the first browser to ship with color-scheme and prefers-color-scheme support: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/pref... https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/me...
