I understand the HDR tech, what I don't understand is why my iPhone 15 increases the brightness so much every time I watch an HDR video or photo, even if my screen brightness is very low. Can't the phone adjust the maximum HDR brightness based on the actual display brightness? Or at least is there a way to adjust it manually?
Or is it a "take it or leave it" kind of option?
To adjust screen brightness manually swipe down from the battery and then finds the ☀️(sun) icon with a white bar then drags up for increased brightness and to decrease gray down. The more white that is in the bar the brighter your screen should be. Sometimes the screen adjusts its brightness automatically based on 1) time 2) brightness 3) settings you have set
Problem is, if I have to manually adjusting brightness every time, than what's the use of a "smartphone"?
if I set the brightness to LOW, I expect the phone to keep it that way, no matter the content.
Hey I found the solution, go to display and brightness then scroll down until you see “true tone” then turn it off. I’ll include a screenshot of what you should see. (I have it on) Hopefully this fixes your problem, have a good day or evening. See attached image ⬇️
