Leak claims iOS 10.3 beta to arrive next week with ‘Theatre Mode’

In a pair of tweets, tech writer Sonny Dickson claims that the first iOS 10.3 beta will be released on January 10 and will include a new “Theatre Mode.” Dickson claims the feature will have a popcorn-shaped control center icon—hinting that like its name suggests, Theatre Mode would be intended for video viewing—but didn’t provide much more information on Twitter.

In a brief conversation with 9to5Mac, Dickson said it’s possible Theatre Mode could be a version of the Dark Mode option that already exists on tvOS and macOS.
