iPhone 8 Display way darker than iPhone 7

[kougra6541]

I just received my new iPhone 8 and turned off true tone display, but even at full brightness, my new phone screen is way darker than the screen on my iPhone 7. i have both phones sitting next to each other with the same settings turned on, and there is an obvious difference.

Any ideas on why it might be doing this?​

Might be the "Reduce White Point" setting. When I upgraded to iOS 11 the screen on my 6S went much darker. Turned the "Reduce White Point" option off and it was back to normal.

Settings > General > Accessibility > Display Accommodations > Reduce White Point

Worth a shot

Just went to check and that setting is already turned off! :/

Thanks for the attempt though! i never knew that was even a setting!

Neither did I until the iOS 11 upgrade

Sorry I couldn't help

my 7 though also has a darker display then my co-workers display even when on the same settings. We just noticed last week though and i didn't worry about it since i new id be getting this phone today! But now that the new phone is darker than the 7 I'm a little concerned!
