My wife and i have the exact same phone (iPhone max 12pro. In sunlight, mine goes so dark i can barely see it. Hers is normal. I have verified all settings are the same. Brightness, white point, etc.
what else can i do? It is unusable in bright daylight.
Windows, Windows 6
Have you tried turning the brightness up manually from control centre or settings?
If so the only real explanation is heat.
When your phone gets excessively hot (which can happen when outside in the sun) iOS automatically dims the screen brightness to prevent overheating - even if you toggle it all the way to the top in control centre.
Is there a difference in brightness when inside too?

I have the same problem on my Iphone SE and I have the update.
I see it happen when I have google maps on driving and I can't see the map it gets to dark. So what I do it cover up the front little hole ( the hole that you use to face time with) thats the senor. I cover it with a black paper and the screen stays bright all the time.
It works.
I have auto brightness off and it used to change on its own. I think Apple should fix this. At times we need are phone bright in sun to see are screens
FIX IT. WE pay good money for this phones.
Black generally absorbs more light and thus generates more heat than other colours.
That may explain the difference.
Thank you. Yes, brightness is all the way up. I didnt think heat was the issue. It was literally only a couple minutes. But mine is a black phone, hers has a pink case.
Great info. Thank you for the input.
