I'm also experiencing this on my iPhone11 pro. I search in display settings and there weren't any that helped. I however found an accessibility setting which might help also with this


Accessibility>Display & Text size>reduce white point


I set my "reduce whitepoint" to 80%, you can also turn on "increase contrast"


hope apple fixes this because this is only an alternative as it affects the whole screen and everything on it (ie apps, camera, and games)

To me if color filters weren’t the fix.


1- Try disabling “true tone” and the “night shift” settings to see if this wouldn’t fix it.


if not then


2- It sounds like the LED screens backlighting is starting to burn out. Or the LED cable internally is not properly seated (assuming it was ever dropped).


Look up pictures of a dimming back light on a device that you know has a working screen and compare. If that is the issue you are looking at a repair shop visit.


i hope this helps a little. :)
