This is a minor issue but wondering if anyone else has experienced it. Normally the iPhone, after a period of inactivity, will dim the display, and then eventually the display will turn off entirely and the phone will lock/sleep. I have a weird issue where when the display dims, it will only dim for like half second and then immediately go back to normal brightness. Then after a short while of inactivity, will dim again and then sleep normally. This doesn't happen every time, but does happen regularly.

I can't for the life of me figure out what could be causing this issue. After a reboot it won't do it, but then after a day or so, the issue will return. I've tried a fresh install, but the issue returns. Hardware issue? iOS issue? App related issue? Wondering if anyone has seen this.

I'll again qualify that this is a minor issue not affecting my use of the phone. But it's a weird little bug and just wondering if anyone else has experienced it and has any ideas as to the cause.
