Updated to iOS 6, Autobrightness no longer works.

I have the same problem. Even after restored my iPhone to factory settings. You are not the only one.

Just found the solution. It's kind of a new feature and it's better! It's constantly changing!

Same here on a 4s. Lana ur link is broken btw.

the Same problem , autobrightness is not working after updating from iOS 5.1.1 to 6.0 ,

what is the problem ?

Looks like its a bug that didn't get squashed. It's happening on the new iPad also. Apple...please fix. :)

I don't think that the auto brightness is broken -- not for me, at least -- but it does have quite different behavior now, and that is a mixed bag.

On the one hand, it responds to the ambient light level much more dramatically -- for example, outside, the brightness goes all the way up and I can actually see the phone clearly. I haven't tried using it in a truly dark room yet, but I imagine it will be a big improvement there too.

The problem is that it is dark in my pocket, so when I first take it out, the brightness is all the way down to lowest setting, and it takes a little while to readjust.

Ok, just took the phone out of my pocket and the brightness was fine. Not sure what the issue was before -- maybe it was because I stuck it in my bag without locking it. Or maybe because a little bit of light came through the fabric of the bag and confused it.

Same problem here.

Well I came across a post of MacRumors that talks about that the brightness bar might be acting a minimum setting for the auto-brightness feature. So if you slide the bar all the way to the right...full brightness, you would see no change in screen brightness when auto-brightness actually kicks in. If you turn it down mostly. It will brighten up when there is high ambient light but will dim to where the slider is set in a dark room. I'm going to be testing this out. Maybe you guys can too?

I think the slider may set the maximum, not the minimum. I currently have the slider all the way to the right, and when I put it in a drawer, it gets quite dim.

If so, the only way to prevent it from getting dimmer than you want is to turn it off.

Hmmm. I had it set to 50% and it wouldn't dim a dark room.

This seems to work for me as you describe. Maybe it's not a bug after all. I wish we had some guidance instead of trying to figure all this out ourselves.

I'm not too sure if there isn't a bug. I went into a dark room and still no change. I came outside and no change. Granted its foggy but there should've been something.

After further experimentation, I am just confused. Sometimes it seems to work as discussed. But a couple of times it has seemed to get stuck on the minimum brightness --- possibly because it started to dim for autolock at the wrong moment and that somehow bled over to the brightness setting? I can't seem to reproduce this but it has happened at least twice.
