The iPhone 14 Pro (Max) has an auto-brightness feature that is designed to adjust the screen brightness based on the ambient light. This is to ensure that the screen is always readable, even in bright sunlight. However, sometimes the auto-brightness feature can be too aggressive and dim the screen too much.
There are a few things you can do to fix this:
- Check if auto-brightness is turned on. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size and make sure that the Auto-Brightness switch is turned on.
- Adjust the minimum brightness. Go to Settings > Display & Brightness and drag the Minimum brightness slider to a higher setting. This will prevent the screen from dimming too much in bright sunlight.
- Turn off True Tone. True Tone is a feature that adjusts the color temperature of the screen to match the ambient light. This can sometimes make the screen appear dimmer in bright sunlight. To turn off True Tone, go to Settings > Display & Brightness and toggle off the True Tone switch.
- Restart your iPhone. Sometimes a simple restart can fix software-related issues. To restart your iPhone, press and hold the power button and the volume down button at the same time until you see the Apple logo.
If you have tried all of these steps and the problem persists, you may need to take your iPhone to an Apple Authorized Service Provider for further assistance.
