14.5, still no way to have Maps display in Light Mode when the iPhone is set to Dark. How hard would it be to have a toggle? Every other map app does that.
Am I missing something?

@maique I just noticed that the Podcasts app on iPad didnāt get the visual changes, but the iPhone version did, so apparently Maps isnāt alone with visual bugs.
@pimoore Iām not even sure itās a bug, it never allowed us to pick the āthemeā. Maps isnāt even that great over here, it lacks a ton of information and has some issues with directions because of it, but I remember to try it every few months to check on improvements. Itās the only time I switch the dark theme off because itās practically impossible to read during the day time.
@pimoore @dandycat @maique So it looks like the shows on my phone that I compared with Appleās site are being updated next month with the new subscriptions, so thatās likely why they looked different. But, iPad still has no visual changes to Podcasts. If Apple canāt even bring parity to visual changes in an app, it doesnāt inspire my confidence about WWDC.
@maique Sorry; it was a vague reference to a TV show, which I canāt even remember exactly! š¤¦āāļø
What I immediately thought about was how difficult it is to avoid feature creep and the potential negative outcome of an endless lists of toggles and settings. And how I also agree that dark mode in Maps is not good enough.
@dandycat As much as I really need a new iPad now, I may hold off to see what happens. If they end up dropping the ball again Iām gonna have to investigate switching back to a Mac, as much as would hate it.
@simonwoods I thought it was an expression I wasnāt familiar with. In the end it turns out I havenāt seen that show either! š¤£
@maique The West Wing! I remembered just now as I was reading your reply š
@simonwoods Oh! And I DID watch some of that, after all. Still canāt place the quote, but I did š
@maique Not much help, but you can add a toggle in Control Center to quickly switch between light and dark mode.
@cdevroe @simonwoods @maique The West Wing is probably the greatest television show ever made. The pinnacle of the art form.
@gpittman @simonwoods @maique @cdevroe āA million here, a million there, pretty soon, youāre talking real money.ā
Iām pretty sure itās something Leo says at some point early in Season 3 (Ways & Means, or On The Day Before) while theyāre dealing with the ādeathā tax. (I picture him standing in the communication bullpen, talking to Toby, but I could be wrong.)
But it was a saying long before that. A quick search suggests it was misattributed to this guy, who claimed he never actually said it.
@rnv @maique @gpittman @cdevroe āA billion dollars here, a billion dollars there. Sooner or later it starts to add up to real money.ā ā Josh to Donna, re: budget surplus (about $32 billion apparently LOL)
Gives me a chance to link to one of my favourite websites.
@cdevroe Yeah, thatās how Iām doing it. But Maps is very behind here, not too helpful. Lots of errors make it almost impossible to use with confidence. Everyone uses Waze, and no matter how many times I try it, I always end up doing the same.
@cdevroe @simonwoods @gpittman Wow! I leave for a couple of hours and have all this information when I get back!! Thank you all š
@pimoore On the plus side, the M1 Macs are pretty nice. But who would want to compromise that hard? Hopefully, the cacophony of people demanding improvements in iPadOS will spur some real improvements from them.
