Is anyone else having an issue where your screen is basically always too dim? I’m on an iPhone 16 Pro Max w/ 27 beta 3 and my screen is either always too dim for the environment I’m in or it will act like it’s just overheating and have a super dim screen. Am I alone here?
 
Is it overheating? That will automatically dim the screen.

Try the following to get the screen back to default:

Toggle Low Power on and off
Toggle True Tone off and back on
Turn off Auto Brightness
Make sure Reduce White Point is off
Restart the phone

I figured out that Reduce White Point seems to have turned itself on at some point
 
No, but I have had the issue where I am watching video, usually on X or TikTok, and the screen dims itself like it forgot it's playing a vid. I did have one issue where it kept trying to adjust the brightness even though I have auto brightness turned off.
