Time on iPhone lock screen faded

If the clock on your Lock Screen appears faded or dim, it may be due to the Low Power Mode being enabled on your iPhone. When Low Power Mode is active, some visual elements, including the Lock Screen clock, are dimmed to conserve battery life. To make the clock brighter on your Lock Screen, you can try the following steps:

1. Disable Low Power Mode: Swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen (or swipe up from the bottom on older iPhone models) to access Control Center. If the battery icon is yellow, it means Low Power Mode is enabled. Tap on the battery icon to disable it. Alternatively, you can go to Settings > Battery and toggle off Low Power Mode.
2. Adjust Display & Brightness settings: Go to Settings on your iPhone and select "Display & Brightness." Ensure that the brightness level is set appropriately for your preference. You can adjust the slider or enable/disable Auto-Brightness as per your preference. Increasing the brightness can make the clock appear brighter on the Lock Screen.
3. Check Reduce White Point setting: In the same "Display & Brightness" settings, there's an option called "Reduce White Point." If this setting is enabled, it reduces the intensity of bright colors on the screen. Ensure that Reduce White Point is disabled or adjust the intensity to make the clock brighter on the Lock Screen.
4. Restart your iPhone: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve minor software glitches that might affect the brightness of the clock or other elements on the Lock Screen. Press and hold the power button (or the power button and volume down button together) until the "slide to power off" slider appears. Slide it to power off your device, then press and hold the power button again to turn it back on.

If none of these steps help, it's possible that there may be an underlying issue with your iPhone's software or display settings. In such cases, you may want to consider contacting Apple Support or visiting an authorized service provider for further assistance.
