iPhone 8/Plus iPhone 8 problem with automatic brightness

[rennie94]

my iPhone 8 has a problem with automatic brightness. If I'm under the sun (or if I just put the phone under a strong light) the phone is not setting the brightness to the maximum. I screenshotted while I was under the direct sun. Is it normal? I tried to restore my phone but it's just the same.

Has the phone display been replaced or serviced before?

Also if the phone has been out in the sun for a while it will get hot and dim the screen until cooled off.

It’s all handled by the OS. I’ve not really looked into it because the usability doesn’t get affected.

You can try re-calibrating it to see if might make a difference: http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-calibrate-iphone-ipad-auto-brightness-sensor-in-ios-7/

I tried to recalibrate and I made also a restore. Nothing changed. I will go at the genius bar and show them the problem

You may have lowered the brightness at one point. I think this changes the auto brightness setting. Go to settings/general/display accommodations and toggle on and off and back to on.
