iPhone 13 Question about viewing HDR content on any OLED iPhone

[AntonisCy]

What happens when you have auto brightness enabled? Does the iPhone go automatically to full brightness when HDR content is viewed? Do you have to manually blast the brightness? I hope not. That would mean you have to disable auto brightness before viewing HDR content right?

Thanks

HDR will still work (and brightness of highlights will go over the rest of the screen setting), but to get the brightest higlights, you should just increase the brightness to maximum. You don't have to turn auto-brightness off.

Doesn't taking brightness to the maximum while Auto brightness is enabled mess up with your auto brightness setup levels?

No, it just tweaks it, but it should return to some lower levels once you change into a different environment. Or you can manually lower it. Either way, auto-brightness will still work. It takes your setting and changes it depending on the environment, but you still manually control the baseline.

In order to actually turn off auto-brightness, you have to go into settings.
