If text in Apple Notes does not display correctly when you switch to Dark Mode on your iPhone, it could be due to a contrast problem. Here are some steps to assist you in rectifying this issue:

If text in Apple Notes is not displaying correctly when you switch to Dark Mode on your iPhone, you can try several troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue.
* First, ensure that Dark Mode is correctly enabled in your iPhone's settings. Go to `Settings` then `Display & Brightness`, and select `Dark` under the `Appearance` option.
* If the problem persists, try closing and reopening the Notes app. Double-click the home button (on older iPhones) or swipe up from the bottom of the screen (on newer iPhones with Face ID) to access the app switcher, then swipe up or off the screen to close the Notes app. Reopen it to check if the text displays properly.
* Sometimes, the text color may be set to black or a very dark color that's difficult to see against the dark background in Dark Mode. Try changing the text color to a lighter one within the Notes app settings.

Updating your iPhone to the latest iOS version can also resolve potential software-related issues. Go to `Settings`, then `General`, and select `Software Update` to check for and install any available updates.

If the problem persists after trying these steps, consider resetting your display settings to default by navigating to `Settings, General, Reset,` and selecting `Reset All Settings`. Keep in mind that this action will reset display and brightness settings to their default values.

If the problem persists, you can try resetting your iPhone settings to their defaults. This will not erase your data but will reset settings like display, accessibility, and network settings. To do this, go to `Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings` [4].

If none of the above steps work, it's a good idea to contact Apple Support or visit an Apple Store or authorized service provider for further assistance. There might be a more specific issue with your device that requires professional attention [1][2][3][6].

Always ensure you have a backup of your data before making any significant changes to your iPhone settings or performing a reset.
