Is this common or unique to me? White text on the light background is fairly illegible.

I can’t without putting my entire phone in dark mode permanently, which I don’t really want to do.

On the helpful side, that’s not true:

Settings >> Appearance >> Uncheck “Use System Light/Dark Mode” >> Check Dark Mode.

On the unhelpful side, I have never seen the appeal of light mode. Curious why people prefer it?

Honestly during the day I personally find light mode easier to read. I understand this seems uncommon but the contrast “feels” better. I use the “True Tone” on iPhone though which makes the whites not so stark and blinding.

Same here, yeah. I also don’t enjoy seeing fingerprint smudges in broad daylight and light mode hides them better.

It causes problems for certain people with astigmatism. Like me. For me, dark mode is unusable.

This is what it looks like after the update

There is a setting Use System Light/Dark Mode, if you uncheck that, you can select which mode you want.
