So how do I actually push the brightness to its max of 2000nits? Yes the slider is upšŸ˜)

(Seems to me itā€˜s just as bright as the any other iPhoneā€¦)

This question comes up a lot and @MayaUser is right. It's not possible to push the phone to full nits manually. It can only happen automatically when in the right lighting conditions.

Presume this is to prevent damage from being at full brightness for too long.

If users can manually set it to 2000nits. Youā€™ll definitely see threads of burn-in complaints.

not just bur-in because there should be a lot of static images...but a lot of eyes concern...to be able even in joke to turn up to 2000nits the display in dim/dark space/room ....

The phone would either burn up or die after an hour. šŸ˜‚ Even at 800 nits these OLED panels with an all white background can pull 4 watts.

I already have my 14" Macbook Pro at it's 130% max (which is ...as far as I know 1600nits ...!?) ..so I wish I could push the screen brighter manually

WHY would Apple make this feature only on auto-brightness??? Shouldnā€™t this be on automatically for anyone who keeps their iPhone at max brightness 24/7??? I want to get the true 2000 nits out of this 14 Pro Max display, but I HATE auto-brightness. In EVERY other setting except in direct sun, itā€™s ALWAYS too dim. I want manual brightness that allows 2000 nits to turn on in the sun if you have your brightness set to max. I ****ing hate this ****
