2) Is OLED guaranteed? I keep seeing AI refer to it without any reference to better technologies like microLED.
3) I'm skeptical that this will be perfect by the time iOS 11 officially launches if 3rd-party apps aren't yet on board with it. Wouldn't think be a 3rd-party developers issue to set flags in iOS to say which items shouldn't be inverted?
4) There's nothing wrong with saying | ō-lēd |, but this is the first time OLED pronounced that way. I've always heard and used specifically saying each letter of the initialism. Since | ō-lēd | does reduce the number of phonemes spoken, I hope this does catch on.
2. Missed that little bit of info, but of course. If a device can support iOS 11, it should get the Smart Invert feature.
oled screen or not, a black theme will be welcomed regardless and will look stunning on a gloss black iPhone imho
Honestly, the only thing that bothers me about acronyms and initialisms are when people create backronyms, like turning the word ping into an acronym meaning Packet INternet Groper. In etymology we see a lot of forced meaning with words. The general rule with etymology is: if the history is exciting it's likely wrong. Unfortunately, it's these amazing stories that people remember and want to pass onto others.
