iPhone 15 went from light to dark and will not change back.

Phone switched from light to dark earlier today and has resisted all attempts to change it back. I have checked the display and brightness settings and switched them multiple times and nothing has worked. Tried all other suggestions with no results.

iPhone 15, iOS 17

Try and Force Restart your iPhone EXACTLY as shown below and see whether that resolves the issue:

  • Press and quickly release Volume UP button
  • Press and quickly release Volume DOWN button
  • Press and Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears and then release the Side button (Can take up to 20 seconds. (DO NOT release Side Button when invited to Slide Power OFF).
