iPhone 14 Pro Max display brightness

Could someone please explain this? I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max (256 GB) and when I compare its display to other iPhone 14 Pro Max units at the store (128 GB models), the screen is dimmer than the store models at similar brightness levels (and also dimmer even with brightness turned up to the max) and with identical settings (true tone and auto brightness on, reduce white point off). Only with auto brightness and true tone off, does the display show similar brightness to the units in the store. Is my display faulty? Am i not getting the 2000 nits max brightness? Many thanks in advance for your response.

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hello TMH1973,

Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you've checked many of the settings that would impact your brightness. Make sure you've checked out and applied all guidance from Adjust the brightness and color temperature on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support. For example, if you use Night Shift, check the color temperature.

Also, if you use Low Power Mode, check to see if the same happens without this enabled. Low Power Mode can help preserve your iPhone battery but can reduce display brightness as mentioned in Use Low Power Mode to save battery life on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support.

If the same continues, you may opt to have it physically inspected. You'll find locations near you along with reservations from Find Locations - Apple.

Take care.
