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
SOLVED - iPhone 12 Max Pro Dimming.
A non-apple case causes it to overheat!
My iPhone was fine for two years and I switched from the Apple purchased case that I bought at the Apple Store for a non-Apple case to enjoy a new color. Didn’t think about it but started having problems with my phone dimming.
It was constant if I was googling or reading texts etc it would toggle up and toggle down from bright to dim so I could barely read it. It was ridiculous.
Tried everything the Internet suggested. Turning it off helped but that was only because it was cooling it off. It didn’t solve it. Changing any and all settings did absolutely nothing.
Read a post that mentioned they thought it was an overheating issue. Remembered that I had just purchased a new case before this started. Put back on my Apple purchased case. Voila. No issue for a whole month. SOLVED
Yeah - I turned that one off really hoping it would solve my phone’s issue but unfortunately it didn’t fix it. My still dims all of the time.
Did you ever get a resolution from Apple?
Auto-Brightness at accessibility ready off but still My phone screen auto dimming!!!
That is a brilliant response. Sure helps! Thank you
That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the information Gus!
My “contrast” was actually on but so were a few other buttons on that page so I mimicked on my phone what you posted so we’ll see if this works. Thanks for the suggestion!
Thank you, seems to be working
I have turned off/adjusted all the suggested settings and the problem persists.
Does not appear to be a solution.
My iPhone 12 max is losing is brightness while all auto settings are disabled. Not good for taking pictures outside or flying a drone in summer. That is a "bummer".
Reason to buy another one ?
There is no solution. This phone simply sucks, The technicians are aware of the issue,
This is not acceptable for a piece of technology of this price range. If it’s a known flaw it should be communicated. Therefore clients could take decisions accordingly.
Extremely frustrating. I don’t buy phones as often as most people so it’s upsetting to have this issue on a BRAND NEW PHONE. APPLE please fix the issue!!!!!!!
I have an iPhone 12 mini so it doesn't seem related to the screen size.
i have the 12 pro not max and have have the same issue tried all the above apple should feel ashamed to produce a phone like this I'm sure Samsung owners don't have the same issue!!!
I tried this after reading your suggestion but it did not help.
