I understand that the brightness of your iPhone screen seems to change after it has been on for a few minutes. I'm happy to provide some information to help with this.
Since it seems to change, check to see if Auto-Brightness is enabled:
Adjust the display settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Set brightness or use Auto-Brightness
To adjust brightness, use Control Center. You can also do this from Settings, where you can find extra options like Auto-Brightness:
- Go to Settings > Display & Brightness.
- Drag the slider to the right or left.
- If your iOS device has an ambient-light sensor, you’ll see an Auto-Brightness setting under the slider. Auto-Brightness uses a light sensor to adjust brightness based on your surroundings. This setting can sometimes improve battery life.
If you want to raise or lower the Auto-Brightness levels, you can customize the setting:
- Go to Settings > Display & Brightness and turn on Auto-Brightness. The brightness slider moves according to the lighting conditions.
- Use the slider to adjust the Auto-Brightness setting.
If Auto-Brightness isn’t working as expected, reset it. Go to Settings > Display & Brightness and turn off Auto-Brightness. Then turn it on again.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Cheers!
