Q: Screen brightness dimming on its own(without auto brightness on)
I Have an iPhone 5s. the brightness of my screen changes randomly even with Auto brightness off. i always keep my phone on 100% brightness and sometimes The brightness gets dimmer. the brightness changes randomly. is it a serious hardware problem guys coz my phone is brand new. I went to Apple service centre and made a fool of myself coz I couldn't present my problem when asked. anyone else faced it before????
iPhone 5s, iOS 8

Hi ya
I had an iPhone 5 and notices this behavior when I updated to iOS8. I got an iPhone 6 and 6+ and they both do it. I too have my screen set to 100% and auto brightness set to off. The screen is nice and bright and then all of a sudden dims. Adjusting the screen brightness manually makes no difference. Then suddenly it goes nice and bright again. Two things have crossed my mind, 1) It's either the display overheating the software dims it, 2) An app is causing the issue, 3) A new power save feature of IOS8 or 4) Just a pure software glitch.
It can't be a hardware issue as it's happening to all the iPhones in my house and we have 5, 5s, two 6 and a 6+ .
Sorry I can't provide a cure but at least you know your not alone and not going mad. I ate going into the Apple Store and being looked at like your a loon because sods law it doesn't do it.
