Why The iPhone's Screen Randomly Dims

- If you have an iPhone, you may’ve noticed its screen randomly dimming, even with the brightness slider on its maximum setting. There are a few reasons why this happens, starting with the most obvious, the auto brightness feature.

This man explains apple better than Apple itself...!
Yeah I agree
He does his research 🤓👍
So true
Apple should pay him to do this videos an put them in their oficial page
Ditto
I hope I’m not mistaken, but I think (and I’m surprised you didn’t mention this) it dims even when the sensor detect that you’re not looking directly at the screen, so that it can turn off the screen earlier if you’re not looking at it. The iPhone has a sensor that understands if you’re directly looking at the screen, it’s used for Face ID security purposes.
Is this speculative or did you get this from somewhere
@@sadekomar it’s real there’s a setting in accessibility called attention aware features
Correct. When you’re looking at the phone, the screen usually wont turn off (unless you disabled that feature), but when you’re looking away it will dim and turn off
@@sadekomar It’s related to the attention awareness feature. I can’t find any official article from Apple mentioning that it dims the screen, all articles I find on the feature are from iPhone X times, they are old. But if you search the internet you will find some tech articles talking about this specific aspect of attention awareness. I have to say, I think the feature is still bugged though, because my phone sometimes dims sometimes doesn’t when I’m not directly looking at it. I guess in doubt it just leaves the screen full on.
On my Samsung I can turn on a feature where it detects my face. If it detects my face looking at the screen, it will keep the screen on. Otherways it will turn the screen off after a certain period.
What would we do without your videos! You’ve definitely mastered the iPhone and it’s history. I personally never cared for True Tone as I think it takes away from the beautiful display but tastes vary.
I don’t mind True Tone and have it on all the time on my 13 pro max.
Spamm
True tone made everything very seemless. Whenever I use a device that doesn't have it, the screen color is always "off" with the ambience of where I'm at.
@@ItsMeMars same i only notice it sometimes in pitch black
@@dmanbloom2107 I’m just so used to it that if I turned it off the screen would feel unnatural and weird to me lol. And it also filters blue light in almost all situations which is nice.
Also one thing I noticed with iPad. When playing games of high intensity (Call of Duty Mobile on highest resolution and all + Cellular data), iPad dims the brightness and it comes to normal brightness 10 - 15 seconds after quitting the app
That's because the chip inside overheats.
@@ravenclawgamer6367 “prevents itself from”
@WhatsApp ➕1④⓪⑤⑧⑦⑦②③⑦① bruh lmao
some apps change the brightness, see if it happens on other apps
Really? Because if its overheating then thats a problem. I use jailbroken kindle fires for any mobile games and havent had issues at all, and they are $60 tablets. I have the logic board of a 6 year old HD7 in front of me and see barely any heatsink material at all. I guess I thought they would properly cool the thing....
Hey Greg I would like a video on the History of the Stock app since I totally understand why apple would make the app I always found it strange why it always comes preloaded since it is a relatively niche thing to include and gets barley used by so many users and there must be a reason
I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE SAME THING LMAO
I still don’t get what’s the purpose coz there’s plenty of third party stocks app with investment options
And one more thing: Maybe the ‘Reduce White Point’ feature is turned on (Settings-> Accessibility-> Display & Text Size->Reduce White Point) OR Accessibility Shortcut (Settings-> Accessibility-> Accessibility Shortcut) is set to ‘Reduce White Point’ which will automatically turn on the feature when you triple-click the side button.
Also
This feature is great when you’re using your phone at night in a dark room and night shift isn’t enough for you.
Thanks for this vid, it’s annoying at times for sure
It's not really annoying It helps battery health . One time I turn it off ,the battery health went from 94% to 92% in just a week then I turn it back on . It get annoying when you game on your iPhone because you cover the sensors and making it thinks that it is in a dim room.
Turn auto lock to never in settings
@@jonathansetzer6456 yea so when you loose your phone someone can just steal everything
@@TinyBearTim Not if you lock your screen when you aren't using it. With what you'r saying, someone could just steal it within the timeframe it's set to lock and steal everything then. There isn't a difference. I don't really know anyone who doesn't manually lock their phone when they aren't using it anyway.
I don't even use an iPhone and I watch Ur vids because it's really interesting. Keep up the good work!
His videos suck. He's running out of good ideas
@@MusicToTheEars141 Your mom sucks, me and her are running out of ideas. Be nicer!
@@quiniousyn frr
@@quiniousyn That doesn't even make sense, genius
@@MusicToTheEars141 what a sad person you are
I have everything turned off and my phone doesn’t over heat and it still seemingly randomly dims. I hate it so much
There is no solution.. iPhone12
@@kapageridis wait really?
Yeah I have the same problem! Everything turned off and can be outside in the sun in winter and I can’t see anything on the screen because it dims on its own!
@@josephtownsend8407 bruh I have this same issue and always have had this problem with iPhones
I hope apple will improve and develop new cooling system for next generation soon
as Loop LiquidCool Technology or vapor chamber cooling technology
same, my 12 pro max has a heat problem which is hurting battery health
One time I had my phone hidden in my lap while taking an exam, it was scaring me when the screen was brightening up. Now I know why 😂
@@sohotimhot752 Shut up
Cheater 👉👉👎👎👎shame 🧐repent
Thank you for explaining that! I had a feeling but this is confirmation.
This has been bothering me for the last year and I could not for the life of me figure out why my screen would randomly get darker or brighter. Thank you
Bro tell me about it !
iphone 14 pro max fixes this
Mine XR is fully charged, plugged up, and all the settings that you mentioned are turned off and I’m looking directly at the phone while speaking this message and my display is still dimming!
Wonderful. My screen has been dimming before my eyes and I surely didn’t want to get on the phone with costumer service. Thank You
I noticed that my iPhone’s screen dims when I am in the sun or playing games. The phone isn’t hot, and those settings are turned off. It makes it so hard to see. An ex-friend of mine had another brand, and she never had this problem. I, on the other hand, seem to always have it, no matter what version of the iPhone I have.
There is no solution
same problem
The brightness on my 12 Pro max sometimes almost flickers - auto brightness, night shift and tru tone disabled. It happens when I’m just browsing and the phone is cool. A hard restart stops it and it seems to happen more in certain apps like TH-cam
Yup, I'm surprised he didn't mention this, which happens to be one of the biggest problems with iPhone 12.
This problem was fixed on the iPhone 13 because of the faster processor, but iPhone 12 will still dim if the phone uses too much processing power.
@@Pravduh was NOT fixed on the 13, typing from a 13 pro max and i can barely see my screen in the sun rn
@@reheatedpizza7292 Wow
Yup it does indeed , random screen dims all the time :/
Over the years I always wanted to know why… thanks
@///M sure thing
These videos make working as an iOS technical support agent a lot easier.
2 years without answers and now i know. THANK YOUUUUUU
True Tone Helped me Cope up with my Migraine since unnecessary bluelight in dark environments really hurts my eyes.
iPhone dims screen when it barely gets hot. On 75 degree day I can’t be on iPhone 13 pro max more than 5-10 minutes before dimming to unusable level. My iPhone 11 never did this unless it was a 95 degree day and I was on it for 20 minutes. I will likely return it in the spring when it starts again and hope I get a new phone that works. Many others complaining about this on Apple support forums. This is my 8th iPhone and only one with this issue. Beyond annoying
Searched for this and while watching your video my iPhone 13’s screen brightened back up. I think it heard you! 👍👍
What happens to mine is that when i dont use it for like 20 minutes or something, the next time i pick it up, the brightness bar goes down halfway, no matter my environment.
I've literally sent for my phone for repair & issue persisted. I cannot use it when it randomly dims - that is for the iPhone 12 Pro Max. I'm getting a replacement in the mail but now it seems like that wont fix the problem. APPLE GET IT TOGETHER. This is unacceptable for a 1200+ phone!!!!
there is no solution
Can you make a video about why and how many iPhone 12s are showing a green tint in the display? I’m having this issued with mine and I hecka frustrated tbh
I kinda knew this was a feature, But It still made me feel worried cause I thought my screen is broken. This Video Cured my anxiety.
i subbed apple explain a while back, because he doesnt have annoying intros, and he just gets straight to the point. He should have at least 15M!
Also activating “Low Power Mode” dim the screen, and dim it further after a few seconds without interaction.
Auto brightness always makes it too bright
I’ve been waiting for this. I thought it was something serious. Thank you.
Even in android this feature exists, Called "Adaptive Brightness"

Night-shift’s hue can be adjusted if it’s “too orange” for you.
Mine was getting hot. This was one of the bigger things I had to adjust to switching from iPhone to android. My old LG V20 never did this.
@WhatsApp ➕1④⓪⑤⑧⑦⑦②③⑦① your a scammer
This happens all the time to me, even with new iPhone 13. Probably when playing roblox games most of the time. I always thought it was a bug, because even at max brightness and true tone off etc it always did this. Ty for explaining.
Try powersaving mode, that might fix the proplem a little
I bought a little fan cooler that snaps on the back of my iPhone 12 mini when I play heavy games on it and I’ve never had my phone dim after I bought it.
ez fix dont play roblox
@@andrewharris9302 what is the name of the item
This was incredibly helpful!! It’s because it’s in direct sunlight. Glad I know now. Thank youuuu!
Thank you very much this helps me understand what was happening with my iPhone
Ah tysm for explaining this
Mine randomly gets dimmed when i unlock it and won’t change until I manually set the brightness or lock it and unlock it again. Might be a bug or something rather.
since the iOS 15 update i have an issue difficult to explain... it's not changing brightness, i KNOW all the settings in the phone (so, NO, it's not night shift, it's not auto-brightness, totally OFF, i always hated it, and NO weird accesibility options, i also know there are TWO auto-brightness settings) yet, sometimes the screen "dims" in a particular way, i have dark mode always enabled, on the settings menu (to replicate the issue better) i can see how the "black" becomes gray, and then changes back to black, like a "contrast" issue, but i checked all that in accesibility as well... really weird and drives me nuts, cause i don't know why, resetting the device solves it, for a few hours/days... and i freaking hate the "reset-device-to-make-it-work" solution cause it's annoying, i don't need to do that just to solve a problem that shouldn't exist... heck, the problem wasn't presen before...
Most phones do this by the way, I have an LG and it will lock itself when it's too hot, idk if the newer ones do it still or just stop charging
I kept asking myself this question so many times!!!! Thank for finally explaining
I wish u could still turn off the auto brightness
We don’t have it on iPad for some reason
Ok so this sounds like a personal problem but, when I’m using alight morion (an editing app) it takes up a huge amount of space and my iPad does random stuff like force shutting down with flashing pink screen, also it dims the screen not seamlessly and I have to shut down just so it won’t do that ok I’m done with that rant
This happens to my moms iPhone 8 plus but auto brightness is off. Is it cause she has a non apple screen? The phone doesn’t have true tone cause it is a non apple screen. And it barely gets hot.
@WhatsApp ➕1④⓪⑤⑧⑦⑦②③⑦① NO I DIDNT. PIECE OF TRASH, RAAARRRRRRR
Thanks I didn’t know about heat turns the dim screen
ah, you forget to mention in energy saving mode the display will get dimmer and the phone will lock in 30 seconds (unchangeble untill the energy saving mode disable),
and the light sensor work better if the ambient light hits the sensor directly, so if there is a tiny shadow exactly on light sensor the display will get dimmer (this is on any phone).
the only dimming *problem* that i had is with some monitoring apps (like my sound mixer app) what should have a feture called (allways on display) dimms and lock the phone based on configuration set by the user on "screen and brightness" settings of the phone.
Hey Greg, what programs do you use when making these animations?
like this new short apple video format
We are talking about randomly dims, both night shift and true tone are conditional(and by some thing that is obvious enough for us to notice) also human retina is less sensitive to yellow light, that is why even tho the brightness remains the same, we though that it is dimmer by just turning night shift on or enabling True Tone.
Fun fact: human memories are not reliable. Thus, it is possible that you could have just forgotten that you have enabled those feature causing you to think that it is randomly happening/ random event(s).
It could also be that you accidentally turned on “reduce white point”
Thank you for the enlightening explanations. Greetings from Germany and a good health!
If you are out in the sun it brightens up so you can see it better, and it dims in the dark so you won't get blinded by it
Ay you finally uploaded! I really thought you took a break.
@WhatsApp ➕1④⓪⑤⑧⑦⑦②③⑦①
Go away you scammer
I live in hot climate, now this makes sense I always thought it is a bug
I already knew it had something to do with the temperature because I always use my IPhone 7 with auto brightness turned off and the highest brightness and when I play specific games like Pokémon Masters EX with increased in-game speed the phone gets extremely hot and the screen will go down for like 5 minutes before it gets back to normal and repeat. And the battery drains super fast, It’s kinda ironic because I got exactly 69% On Battery Health 😂
Nice
There's always an innovative explanation for everything from apple... I'm wondering when will they come up with the explanation for "why apple only gives you the box.. not iphone even if paid the whole price" pretty sure their explanation will be "environment protection"..
Apple thieves. Think about those emissions from their crap coming from china to save the almighty dollar and profit more
I have true tone off, yet it still does it despite it being off in settings....Ok, kinda odd but a 1st world problem and there are bigger worries in my life to fuss over but I turned it off.
This helps me protect my peripheral vision.
Was about to get a jailbreak tweak to disable the random dimming, but this made me realize that might not be a great idea
I really missing a kind of customisable low battery setting from the iPhones. Why I can’t choose the screen set down timer from 30set to higher for example? 😣
Actually, low power mode makes it dim less i think
I Respect You Greg
I know I’m nitpicking, but none of these are ‘random’. They’re all deliberate and expected given the circumstances in which they occur.
Hi I have been subscribed to your channel for (8) years now, an the content is always amazing, can you a video on safari website? One of my biggest issues with Apple!
This video would be so nice if this was actually true, I turned automatic adjusting off for years now and it will still just adjust the brightness to my surrounding’s brightness so how does that work then ?
exactly, there is no solution
I absolutely despise this feature, and the fact that you can’t turn it off
This video would be so nice if this was actually true, I turned this off for years now and it will still just adjust the brightness to my surrounding’s brightness so how does that work then ?
no solution
I'm actually confused about how is that not obvious.
I have to be honest with you, I love your content so much because I feel you explain Apple products better than Apple themselves. Thank you.
O M G ive looked for an explanation for so long
Incredible
Phones can also dim if the sensor is pointing at a dark patch in your room etc. The area where the phone is could be somewhat lit, but the sensor is pointing at a shadow
Do you know how that could be turned off? I have all the things mentioned in the video off and it still does it
Dude, you literally described my Iphone😂
You forgot to mention that Reduce white point will also dim the screen but this is done manually.
If Nothing Of The List You Said Is A Problem… And, Still My “iPhone 13 Mini” Is Dimming Randomly… It’s Only 2 Months Old… I Don’t Know Why… I Think I Notice This Problem From The First…
they cannot fix it, hardware issue
Finally i know why this happens
Now this is what I was wondering
I have lunch in my car and after 30 minutes it dims even if I’m blocking the sun
omg i finally know why ... i havent heard about the actions iphone makes during overheating , mainly because i just gave up searching why is this happening .. after all those years of owning iphone 6, 8 and now 12 pro which is still doing this , most of my friends with iphones are randomly encountering this as well, even in premium reseller store where i bought iphone 6 and 8 nobody knew what was responsible for this all those years, i thought perhaps there is faulty sensor or it is battery issue , i dont know if android users are encountering this behavior but it was and is still weird to me ... so long lasting case is finally solved i guess, thank you
One of the main reasons I upgraded to the 13 pro max from the 12 pro max was the vastly improved thermal throttling, 12 and earlier iPhones are very prone to overheating within minutes when using full brightness, 13 pro max never dims, only game I could make it dim was Genshin impact on maxed graphics.
@@AJ56 ive noticed that newer iphone i have , less it dims , my 6 nearly always dimmed, 8 bit less, 12 pro even more less, i thought that 12 pro would get rid of dimming since it is thicker design, maybe stainless steel construction could help , oled display technology, bigger battery and it did got rid of it more or less... though i dont want bigger phone than that, dimmin at 12 pro is really occasional sight , sometimes when i put phone to charge and it gets really hot , it wont dim but sometimes when i play a game for long time it dims slightly or maybe doesnt dim at all even when phone is hot , when i watch some video through safari it occasionally dims suddenly when phone isnt even warm yet, its strange
Can someone please tell me the name of the song in the background of the video it’s so calming
You don't have to explain everything about Apple, you know?
this is very helpful. android used 3 years ago lol
How can i claim it
What about when the phone is at 1% for some reason it raises and lowers the brightness on its own
my iPhone dimmed while watching this
Hahaha
Ironically my screen did it just as I opened TH-cam and seen this on my feed lol
Anyone knows why iPhones dim their brightness when there are subtitles or when i open an app or when i open the notification panel?
Appreciate if anyone could help abt those
Thanks for the explanation guess you answered my question of the day😇😂
Phones really are getting better. My LG phone couldn’t do that.
Simply explained *Auto Brightness*
I love the background music
Yes i disabled that feature when the iPhone 4 released it
Can you do why iPhones don’t have headphones hole thing
Hey, Greg. Tomorrow (January 24) will be the 38th anniversary for the first ever Macintosh.
Are you planning a video for that?
@WhatsApp ➕1④⓪⑤⑧⑦⑦②③⑦① UR A FAKE CHANNEL! THIS IS CAP!!
Honestly, none of these solved my issue. I use my phone as a view finder for my dslr and within a couple of minutes the screen dims, in the bright light I use to film it's so difficult to see anything on it at all!
What type of damages occur when your phone gets too hot/cold
Battery damage, touchscreen damage
Potential fire hazard and might burn your hands too if hold it long enough
The logic board may fail in the worst case scenario
I always have wanted to know this
good explanation!! thx for the video
Is this true for my iPad? I have an iPad Air 4.
Nice video! 😃
@Timber B.Y. ok
I use night shift All day because with regular lighting it gives me headaches
Truetone... I really don't like it. It's been off since iphone 3G for me ;-p
Sometimes, my iPhone starts to heat up for no good reason. I could be home, making my room super cold, not run anything heavy on my iPhone, and it’ll still start heating up and playing around with the screen. I just don’t get why /;
