Fix for iPhone 12 Max Screen Dimming
Seen a lot of people having issues with their screen dimming suddenly on their iPhone 12 Maxes.. Well I believe the issue is a hardware issue with one of the wires. I did find a fix but be aware if your phone reboots you may need to do this again. My phone ran out of battery and it had reset this setting when I got it on the charger again. I was able to fix it again by switching this setting over again.
Basically go to "Settings/Display & Brightness/Display Zoom/View/" then switch from "Zoomed" to "Standard" AND hit "Set" in the upper right corner to save the setting. If you don't hit "Set" it won't save this setting and wont fix your screen dim issue so remember to hit "Set."
Your screen will turn off, but just turn it back on and you'll see full brightness again.
I'm still on 14.5.1, so your menus may differ, I'm not too sure about this cuz I've always been on 14.5
1, can't update iOS cuz I'm jailbroken, but this may fix your screen dim issue, hopefully...
Good luck
iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14
