It's only going to auto-dim if you turn the auto-dimming feature on. Don't want it, don't turn it on.


So you are suggesting the people who turned on auto-brightness complained about their display automatically dimming? That would be like people who turned on dark mode complying about dark mode being on.

See, easy peasy solution. Don't want the feature, don't turn it on.
Its turn it off… easy peasy.
Thank you for your view of my opinion.
 
Since iOS 26 betas have been around for a bit, how has adaptive power been working for you guys? Have you seen much of a difference in battery life with it on versus off?

I don’t see any difference. I never saw the message about it neither.
 
Just an observation. This board is filled with some truly miserable people, who will complain about anything and everything Apple does. They must carry that same "cheer" to all aspects of their lives...
I honestly think these forums are now flooded with people/bots who are looking to trash Apple’s reputation for commercial reasons. I can’t think why these “users” who continually moan about every aspect of Apple would still be using Apple devices. Why would they spend so much of their time on these forums if they hate Apple so much? I doubt they even own Apple devices. I’m not against constructive useful criticism, but that is rarely seen on these forums any more. It’s a shame as they used to be a great resource and community.
