Calculator buttons changed color

Go to accessibility/ display and turn off increase contrast. This setting now affects calculator and snooze button by turning them dark orange. Previous iOS did not do this.

To change the calculator / snooze buttons from dark orange back to light orange:

Go to Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > and toggle off Increase Contrast

Exactly. Turning off high contrast affects readability of tiny fonts on my iPhone Max screen, particularly in bright lighting and I don't always carry reading glasses.

Too many apps/web pages have decided that dark gray text on a light gray background is cool. It's not, it's just harder to see and turning high contrast off can make it unreadable. If I purchased a book with this kind of inferior readability, I would return it as defective.

The issue i wrote does not appear by “clicking it back”. I know what is on and what is off. the option “Increase contrast” is OFF in my case.but only in the calculator app, after half a second of opening the app and having normal colors, i suddenly get the colors that would have appeared if the option was ON. But in my case its OFF. Am i clear on this problem? I have had this since IOS17 public launch and it hasn’t been fixed by software updates.

didn’t work .. it turns back on dark orange after 0.5 second of opening the app.

It works, check your setting stayed and you didn’t click it back.

Although this worked, it also changed the contrast/brightness of a lot of other areas. Wish they would have left the calculator alone....
