How to read this

If you're designing screenshots for a Developer Tools app, this is the field you're competing in. A dark theme is the majority choice here, so going the other way is a deliberate way to stand out in search results — where your first screenshot sits next to competitors'. 37% put the caption below the phone; the caption is read first either way, but above-the-phone keeps the text in the thumbnail crop the App Store shows in search. The average listing uses 4.6 screenshots — Apple allows 10, and only 5% use 8 or more, so the later slots are mostly uncontested space for feature depth. Open any listing above to see its exact colours and load them into the editor with one click.
