iPhone 15 Pro Max Dim Overlay Bug

My iPhone 15 Pro Max has had a dim overlay on it for over 2 weeks now. I’ve checked all settings, auto-dim, True Tone, etc. This seems to be a software issue maybe from the iOS 17.0.3 update. When i screenshot something, I’m able to see the full brightness for a split second, even on YouTube transitioning from landscape and portrait mode a delay of the overlay happens showing the true brightness behind it. Practically proving this isn’t a hardware issue. Curious to know if this is happening to anyone else or if someone has an answer for me on fixing this!

Was also having this issue and managed to fix it. In settings go to accessibility>zoom>zoom filter>none.

I had the lowlight zoom filter enabled and it caused this so I have a feeling that’s the issue you’re encountering too.

My iPhone 15 dims the brightness when I take pictures in the daytime. The dimming happens when my iPhone heats up.
