Hi - I have just acquired the iPhone 14 pro, and this morning I noticed that for some reason the phone brightness had randomly reduced. The only way to resolve was to manually increase the brightness. Checked all my settings - in display auto brightness off, in accessibility auto-brightness off and white point off, low power mode off….any help welcomed - thanks
iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16
Turn OFF Night Shift
Turn OFF Night Shift
Hi Sravankra - thanks for your reply and help - night shift was off, I don’t use it - control centre does not have brightness control icon, True Tone is also off - so still unsure why the brightness randomly dimmed - Thanks
Just adding that I have this issue too. Every morning when I pick up the phone from the charger the screen brightness is at its lowest and I have to manually increase the brightness to my preferred level. iPhone 14 Pro, same settings as Vista12. Wondering if it could be something to do with the always-on display. I'll turn off the always-on display when I charge it tonight and report back.
OK. This morning – with Always-on turned off – my screen was the normal brightness when I picked it up from the charger. So at least that's something.
I'm going to turn Always-on back on this evening and if the dimming happens again tomorrow I think we have ourselves a bug!
Hi again - just woke up and tried my iPhone and same problem the brightness had randomly dimmed right down - must be a bug in the system as I have changed no settings, one day it’s ok, then for some unknown reason it just dims! I will speak to apple support to see if this is something that they have picked up and whether there is a fix - Thanks
Hi - I spoke to apple, downloaded new iOS 16.0.2, and it’s made no difference, I will now try charging with a lead rather than MagSafe, to see if the charging mechanism is causing a problem will update tomorrow - thanks
Same problem. I have checked all the settings seeming to have a potential impact (automatic dark/light - off, TrueTone - off, Night Shift - off, Auto-Brightness - off). Always on I’ve left on because it was indicated in the thread that it didn’t fix the problem and the always-on screen is kind of a major point of this upgrade. Also updated to 16.0.2 because of some comments indicating a fix in a similar thread about the 14 pro max, but it did not fix the issue. Seems to be a bug, and an annoying one, if only once per day…
Hi - I spoke with Apple support again, this time they advised to toggle the “always on” off which I did a few days ago, and since this I have had no issues. The “always on” seems to be involved with the issue. Try this….I promised to report back to apple on the fix, which I will do later today - good luck - regards
This made a significant difference for me. With night shift on, my brightness was up past 50% and the display still looked a little dim. I turned it off using the above tip and was immediately able to turn brightness down to between 25-30%. This was using 16.0.2 on iPhone 14 Pro. I did not notice this problem using same version of iOS on iPhone 12, but I only had a few days with that OS on that phone before I upgraded.
Hi - thanks for your reply, much appreciated, I also had been charging mine over-night, so its the same issue. Thanks
Hi - thanks 4 u feedback, I did a force reset yesterday, this morning iPhone display was not dimmed - so maybe the bug has gone - let me know how you get on - Thanks
