Wallpaper is brighter on homescreen than lockscreen

So I noticed people have asked about this in the past but no soloution was brought up so now im trying to ask again. Whenever I set a wallpaper for my phone I notice that the image and colors becomes much brighter when I go from the lockscreen and to the homescreen. Same thing when I swipe from the top left to enter the notification screen and then goes back to the homescreen, you will see right away how the image becomes brighter more washed out. It shouldnt be like that. Any ideas? You can try it yourself with a wallpaper and see what I mean. Would be nice if this could be fixed.

Probably you are viewing the lock screen wallpaper through Always On Display.

This feature: On iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max, the Always-On display setting allows a dimmed version of your Lock Screen to stay visible, even when your iPhone is locked

Keep your Lock Screen visible with Always-On display

The Always-On display setting is on by default. To turn it off, go to Settings > Display & Brightness, then turn off Always On Display. Tip: When Always-On display is turned on, you can choose whether to show your wallpaper or notifications on your Lock Screen.

Keep the iPhone display on longer - Apple Support (IN)

No this is not what im seeing, and also I dont use the always on display.

What is going on is when viewing the wallpaper on the lockscreen it has better colors or more contrast, and then when I swipe to enter the homescreen the wallpaper becomes a little brighter, like more washed out. I will try and see if I see the same on an older iphone like the 12 pm next time I get my hand on one, my dad have one, and a friend of mine also have the 12pm. I have the 15pm, and before this I had the 14pm, but I dont remember if I also had the problem back then. But i've seen others mention this issue so it's clearly a thing.

Maybe it's not an issue on the 12, but you have to look closley to see it, also it's easier to see with certain photos than others so might have to try different ones. I'll check later when I get the time, I might get to test it today with a 12pm.

On my iPhone 12 Pro iOS 17.4.1, both the Lock Screen and Home Screen brightness are the same.
