How bright do you keep your screen?

[Simgar988]

How bright do you keep your iPhone screen? How much longer does your battery life last if you keep your screen brightness on 50% compared to 100%

 

[SFStateStudent]

I'm right at 50%.....

 

[cellocello]

I was rocking it at like 30% for the longest time, but lately I'm liking it more around 55%.

20-30%. I like the extra battery life. If it's getting really low and I still need to do something before I get back to a charger, I'll cut the backlight completely.

0-33% depending on external light or content i'm viewing

I measure by which letter the slider is underneath on the "Brightness" title at the top.

I'm usually under the "r" but somtimes the "t".

Auto-brightness is always on.

 

[SeanMcC]

Default 50% with auto enabled.

I'd say somewhere between 30-35 percent. I can't imagine using the iphone at 100 percent though - perhaps in direct sunlight? But 100 percent is DAMN BRIGHT!

Around 50%, sometimes lower. Can't imagine going past 50-60. Too bright

 

[curly14]

keep it at 42.87 that way the battery last longer

 

[Unspoken Demise]

keep it at 42.86 that way the battery last longer

If I'm showing the iPhone to someone I crank it up to 100% so I can fry their retinas and impress them simultaneously

Mine was at 100%; I guess I'd turned it up that high for some reason and then forgot about it. My eyes are used to it now. I just turned it down to something like 70% and it looks freaking DARK.

~40%

How bright is the sun? I try to keep mine on that level all day every day. That way when I throw my suit jacket back and a slowly slip it out of the side holster in a crowded office elevator full of Crackberry junkies at 7:30 AM everyone knows I have an iphone

100% - I'm not stupid, I have a Mirror Screen Cover

I'd say I get about 2.5 hours of constant usage, (ie. playing music, surfing web over WiFi/3G, using really power intensive apps, push on, fetch mail on.)


However 0% at Night.

 

[blancoBronco]

100% all the way. anything less looks way too dark

 

[aprofetto]

Whatever auto-brightness puts it at.

 

[jmann]

I keep mine at or a bit below 50%.

I measure by which letter the slider is underneath on the "Brightness" title at the top.

Auto-brightness is always on.

I like that! mine is right at the N. I turned it up a tad today. I have auto brightness on too.

70% most of the time though I crank it to 100% in direct sunlight. If I'm in a dark area like a bar or club I'll take it down as low as 20%. I think its kind of awkward having a bright glowing iphone in the middle of dark bar announcing your presence. It ruins the mood.

 

[macintosh.apple]

i think it depends on where you live. I live on the beach in alabama but spent the summer in maine, and i noticed that anything lower than 100% in alabama was way to dark but in maine i only had it around 30%.

 

[bmcgrath]

100%

 

[spillproof]

25% and auto-brightness on
