Other Max. Brightness 12 vs. 12 pro

[borntrouble]

Hey there,
when you compare iPhone 12 with iPhone 12 pro, it says that "max brightness (typical)" is substantially lower on the no -pro model, whereas "max brightness (HDR)" is the same.
Can somebody explain to me what this actually means and what influence it has on daily use?

Thanks in advance

HDR brightness is when a small portion of the display is lit up to increase contrast of certain elements on screen during a video. How big is this area? Apple doesn't say. It can be 2% big or 25% big. Without this information, HDR brightness is a marketing spec.

The typical brightness value represents the sustained performance of the display. It's what you actually see if you use the iPhone under bright ambient conditions.

It’s basically a stat used on the spec sheet of a setting very few people will ever use for any length of time. It’s about as insignificant as it gets.

Pro should be better in the sun.
