iPhone 15 Pro screen brightness issue after iOS 26 update

Still having the same issue. Updated to ios 26.1 and nothing changed. It's really frustrating for us, iphone 15 promax users. I will try to report somehow to apple team. keep you posted. Until then, we need more activity here to keep the post alive.

Just an update. I didn’t do anything and accepted as my fate. But I must admit it’s happening less often. Don’t know why but it happens now on my iPhone 15 pro max once in a day after 2-3 days

I think it’s some sort of algorithm learning process from the phone hence Apple isn’t addressing it.

no matter what, it’s annoying. Apple needs to fix it.

There have been several updates to this thread and obviously Apple is not interested in correcting the issue. Their only interest is to develop software for the latest model and ignore the bugs that it creates in hope that consumers will dump their perfectly good “old” device and buy the shiny new one.

Same issue with my 15 Pro.

I do not use “always on display” if that matters.

This bug is extremely annoying.

Same issue here. iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Hi. I’m having exact problem on 15 pro max.

I have to unlock twice to see the brightness working normally.

Same here. 15 Pro Max.

Same here. 15 pro max

I’m having the same issue with my iPhone 15 Pro.

Hope to get the fix on iOS 26.1

I already tried a factory reset on my 15 Pro Max, but I restored my phone with a backup after the reset and the bug is still happening.

Same here with 15 pro, super annoying issue

I have the same annoying issue with my iPhone 15 Pro, since I updated it to iOS 26.

The behavior is not permanent, but apparently it occurs randomly.

Pls fix it ASAP.

Thks.

Me tooo I’m 15 pro max, please tell me if they release an update to fix it for this

Same issue here. 15PM.
