Why Your iPhone Gets Darker In The Sun

[@IntegraDIY]

This explains why I always have to find shade to see my blank screen. I’ve actually had another iPhone that went to max brightness in direct sunlight

[@ExciYT]

Yeah because shade reduces heat 🤣

[@IntegraDIY]

@@ExciYT shade helps to see the screen better, to crank the brightness all the way up.. which defeated the whole point of the dimming feature

[@Donut-jm6by]

@@ExciYTwhy is that funny?

[@ChefGoreb]

@@Donut-jm6by He either doesent get it twice or is trolling. He means its useless to bring an overheated iPhone to the shade, because shade will not reduce the heat of the air around it. Which is semi-true. What he doesnt get: OP was talking about the difference of OLED and the old screens, bringing a new iPhone to the shade to see the blank dimmed screen is so its darker, not colder.

[@yesnoztr]

Get a white phone case to reflect the sun heat, black aborbs the most from the sun heat, next to green

[@NathanYellowStarProductions]

Not just iPhones even my LG G3 gets darker in the sun. Even worse it reduces the birghtness at its own from 100 to 90 due to overheating which is sometimes a safety barrier to prevent further damages. But on the iPhone side it also dims itself even if it's not overheating like being said on the video, FYI i never owned an iPhone before but it seems like i have been experiencing the same thing to my phone too.

[@megapangolin1093]

Any phone with an OLED screen should be similarly affected.

[@NathanYellowStarProductions]

@@megapangolin1093 Yes but there are 2 factors to consider. The Operating system and the brightness nits. If your OS automatically adjusts your brightness then it will be darker by itself. But if the nits are low then you'll get a lower brightness even if you set it to 100. I use my 2 LG phones at 0 brightness on indoors and they are pretty fully usable, i set it to 30 if i am on outdoors as i need more brightness on outdoors. Man i just cannot believe that LG Made the brightest displays even on 0 percent they remain usable on indoors. But on outdoors you need more brightness.

[@megapangolin1093]

Thank you, very clear and helpful to know this. Shame that it takes 5 years of iPhone ownership for me to find this out, thought it was bad settings on display brightness. Such a shame that Apple dont tell buyers this, it might save a bit of heartache, worry and fear (my iphones dying, and I cant afford a mortgage)...

It is a safety hazard that it happens when I am doing long range with a mavic mini that has a phone you connect to the radio as a monitor. You end up being unable to see where you are going while the drone is also a lil dot in the sky making it impossible to see where it is facing.

[@airpeguiV2]

It’s so annoying because the 15PM looks amazing a lot of the time under direct sunlight, as it’s so bright, but have it one minute more than the phone wants and it will be impossible to see anything. And the phone doesn’t even feel that hot when it goes so dark but I guess Apple doesn’t want to push it. A real shame tbh

[@jackssrt]

i thought it was just because our eyes get used to the higher brightness all around us, therefore we would perceive the phone brightness as lower than what it actually is. Learned something new!

[@sleepydrones1282]

That’s probably part of it

[@Roboseal2]

It does. My android goes to higher than max brightness for about a minute in the sun then dims the screen.

If only there was a way to cool the device without relying on throttling the user experience (there is such thing as fans that don't spin)

[@Miguel-pe]

Well, mine gets darker while it is just in front of the car's AC vents so it is difficult to see Waze's map. It is not heat in this case because AC is running.

[@99soup]

navigation apps like google maps and waze are very processor intensive, and while having your phone near the car AC vent helps it cool down and it might feel cold to the touch, it will still be hot on the inside because heat is being produced inside of the device, and the lack of active cooling on phones makes it quite tricky to expel the heat out of the device. tl;dr if the outside is cold that doesnt mean the iphone isnt overheating, more so if it's an older model OR powered by the A17 Pro chip.
