iPhone 12 pro max keeps dimming

I have the iPhone 12 Pro Max and it constantly dims. I made sure the Automatic button was off, it still dims. I went to answer the phone and it had dimmed itself down to an almost completely dark screen. I am constantly having to reset the brightness back to where I can see the screen. Any "bright" ideas?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14

Hey guys , I had the same problem. My auto brightness was off and my phone kept dimming. Then I discovered that I had “reduce white point” on , once I cut it off my phone went back to normal. Go to accessibility-display and text and it’ll be right above auto brightness

Apple customer support Refuses to admit that they have and DEFECTIVE PRODUCT! I have literally wasted hours on the phone with tech-support trying to solve this problem, all to no avail.


i find it ridiculous that Apple support waste my time with all sorts of troubleshooting nonsense, when, in fact they know that this is a major flaw.


I find it amazing that a product that cost over $1000. US has such a major flaw, and rather than admit that it is a flaw, Apple support pretends to be baffled by the issue.


This is pure BS!!!

100% with you. I’ve been dealing with it for way too long. Decided to work on this sunny Easter Sunday - in my car. I have spent six hours shifting positions, shielding the screen, moving the phone around, pulling it close to my eyes - it’s absolute madness. No doubt, they know it’s a major flaw and have no intentions of making it right. At least have the guts to own up to it. But I guess if you’re one of the masters of the universe, you don’t have to.

I so wish all of you people would read the entire issue. Everything you are suggesting has been done. I’m at the point of throwing Apple out the window and going Motorola! I love the convenience of the iPhone but you are too intrusive and you do things you think helps us. It doesn’t. The contract law is clear. When you sell a product. Your ownership is done. You no longer own that device nor the licenses it has.
