iPhone 12 screen brightness issue

My iphone 12 pro brightness is inconsistent. Its dims or gets darker screen when its at max and after i sleep my screen and wake it again, it gets much much brighter.

As if it was on 25%. Its seems to me like a lag or something of the sort happens to the screen. Any suggestions?

Hi all!

Just check that you've switched off the Auto-Brightness feature (please don't confuse with Settings->Display & Brightness->Automatic !).

You need to switch off these features here:

1) Settings -> Accessibility -> Display & Text Size -> Auto-Brightness

2) Settings -> Accessibility -> Display & Text Size -> Reduce White Point

(frankly speaking, turn off all features in the Display & Text Size).


The iPhone 12 Pro's display is amazing in compare to iPhone 11 Pro.

Cheers 🙌

I completely agree! My issue is that Apple are ignoring everyone, denying there’s an issue when you go into a store and saying they’ve never heard of it, which is obviously untrue. I have had Apple phones since day one, iPads, Apple watches and this is the first time ever that I have considered looking elsewhere for a phone. Sad times and poor service by Apple.

Have YOU even read that WE have all done every single "fix" and have had them done with customer support in person, over the phone, numerous times, complete phone replacements, and under all conditions. Indoors, outdoors, under sunlight, in the dark, during light usage, during heavy usage, etc. We are all here discussing for a long time and you have no answer for something you did not bother investigating the issue of.

I have switched off ALL FEATURES on display and text size and MINE STILL turns dark, even though it is 100% full of charge as well as 100% turned on FULL Brightness!!! What is going on with this on the IPhone12????? You know it’s really annoying having to read an email for work while away from home or my Mac and then your dang phone turning dark every time you actually need it to read!!!

Good summary…. Unfortunately 14pages of comments and suggestions and all the service calls to Apple and even new replacements have not solved the issue. Is there a solution to this current model ? Many have suggested Apple making design changes but would that be to the next series? Not seeing any resolution for unhappy users if 12’s because it is so wide-spread and would be extremely costly..
