iPhone screen brightness

On the subject of iPhone screen brightness in sunlight bring dim to the point of not being able to be read, community payer: LD150 said it was pupil dilation and to find somewhere darker (thats more dim than the phone screen and totally unhelpful). Apple clearly steps down brightness to keep the iphone cooler as the heat will already pose an issue to the already hot processor. Apple can you provide better heat dissipation in hot areas? Or at least let us choose to the point of the “your phone has shutdown due to high temperatures” message and at least let us decide so we can choose our screen brightness in emergency situations. Thank you.

iPhone XS Max, 13

This is a community, user to user forum. Apple does not typically read these posts. If you want to communicate your idea directly to Apple, please use the link below:

But please keep in mind that when the iPhone shuts down due to high temperatures, it is to avoid irreparable damage to the iPhone. You really do not want to override that.

Hi Carol. I think you misread. I said to let us decide UP TO that point (the temperature message). That would give everyone at least some time to see their dull screen in bright sunlight for important messages. In the year 2023 we should not be running inside to a dark room to read our messages while on vaction (or putting a towel over our heads on a beach) LOL.
