iPhone screen dims randomly

Thank you for replying i still have the issues with the screen dims I don’t know what to do apple store is really far where I live and don’t feel like driving for nothing I hope apple does some about it because I definitely will go with samsung this year

If it is a safeguard then why is Apple swapping peoples phones out? The fact that they are replacing people’s phones indicates that it is not a safeguard but rather something that was not suppose to happen.

I agree with you. I don’t really game on mine but use Waze and Apple Maps and within 2 minutes my screen dims, 2 minutes which is ridiculous. Then there must be a manufacturing issue or quality issue if it’s over heating in less than 2-3 minutes.

This is totally unacceptable in my mind. In the past with older model iphones I did experience over heating and received the warning explaining the phone is too hot. This is not the case with the iPhone X as I do not receive the message. All other things work on the phone except the screen.

Again this exact same issue is affecting different iPhone models that do not have the same screen as the X. Like I stated how many pages ago, my wife used a 6 and her screen dims and all she is doing is reading.

Thank you!!!!! That’s what I’ve been saying and no one listens!!!! Happens to my wife’s iPhone 6 and her phone dims way more often than mine. Mine only dims when on my dash running Waze or Apple Maps, here she’s just reading a book.

This is not an iPhone X only issue

Ah. I see. Sorry about that.

The trouble is that I do want auto-brightness to work as it should, according to the level of ambient light. (ie. Dim light = dim display.)

I just don't want my display to dim when the ambient is perfectly bright daylight, which was the problem I was having in full sunshine.

For the sake of experiment I will turn both mine on and see if that makes any difference.

This happens due to the level of brightness around you so your eyesight doesn’t get damaged but also this happens to make the screen brighter even though it doesn’t really help, so at night it will be at its brightest in the dark, and in broad daylight the brightness will dim down a bit.

I also have this happening on a brand new iPhone XS Max. I guarantee that I have checked extensively through every possible setting so I wish people would stop responding with that answer.

It's not due to low battery either. If it's due to heat then it's happening when my phone is warm but definitely not too hot and not running 3D games or anything like that!

Apple told me they would swap the phone but I am reluctant to do that after reading previous experiences here.

Hoping for an answer from someone please!!

This happens to me, too, especially while using Waze. It recently went from "irritating quirk" to "dangerous" when I was driving in a crowded and unfamiliar city and suddenly couldn't see my screen. I'm starting to suspect Apple of trying to force us to use the useless Maps app.

I have the exact same issue, and for those blaming Waze: I don’t even have that app on my phone. Happens seemingly randomly, multiple times a day. It’s infuriating. Restarting the phone does nothing, and like everyone else, I have autobrightness off

Same thing. My brother and I just bought two XS Max’s a few days ago and have turned everything off and are still having this problem. He’s exchanging his phone tomorrow actually.. hoping to have better luck with the replacement..I was going to do the same but after reading this thread, I don’t see a point in doing so. It’s happened to me while browsing the web and sometimes even just texting. Don’t play no games on this phone whatsoever. & Doesn’t happen with a specific app. Just randomly no matter what I’m doing.

There's no way to fix this problem, this is a built in feature.

No matter if you turn off every options related to brightness or color, the phone will continues change the brightness for itself.

The only solution is upgrade to android, I highly recommend the note 9.

None as of yet. Apple seems to be oblivious to it and it looks like other people are saying they have heard that it’s just the design. I think it’s an issue that they need to correct. Would love to know if anyone else has had success with Apple.
