We can only hope that Apple is working on some sort of native dark mode for iOS that extends to the software keyboard we interact with each and every day, but until then, we’ll need to rely on jailbreak tweaks to get what we want.
Dark Keyboard is a subtly-named free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Thomz that forces your iPhone or iPad to display the dark keyboard by default in virtually every typing interface that you can imagine on the iOS platform.

The Status Bar is something that iPhone users see every day when using their handset, so it makes sense that it’s easily one of the most popular things to customize on a jailbroken handset. A classic jailbreak tweak called Zeppelin used to let users customize their carrier icon, but as they say, out with the old and in with the new.
For those onboard, iOS developer PeterDev just recently released a new jailbreak tweak called Xeon (Beta), which aims to be a full-fledged Zeppelin alternative and then some. In addition to working with standard Zeppelin themes right out of the box, Xeon (Beta) also brings a bevy of other proprietary features to the table.
