Screen of new iphone stays dark

I just bought a new iphone 12 mini. I noticed my screen was dark so I tried to adjust it with the adjusting panel but halfway past it it doesn’t adjust it anymore. It stays dark and can only go darker. When I turned the phone on and off it seemed to be fixed but 1 minute later it abruptly went dark again.

Try also a "forced" restart of your 12, using these instructions:--> Force restart iPhone – Apple Support


If the issue persists, contact Apple Support directly, using this link:--> Get Support , or make an appointment and have your device inspected at an Apple Store or AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) among this list:--> Apple – Location Selector

After checking it out, they'll give you all the available options.
