As someone whose devices are seldom higher than 50% display brightness when I'm indoors, I've never understood why every new devices boasts about more nits of max brightness as an improvement.

20% brighter!😆 The drip drip drip of incremental improvements to draw you in and part with your had earned money is relentless less from these clowns at Cupertino.
We see you!👀

Just think, there are users who are still on the iPhone X. I saw one in the wild just yesterday.
The brightness on the 14 Pro and 15 Pro is very good, more than most people need actually. I’m more interested if the 16 Pro will get stacked battery tech than a 20 percent increase in brightness that I’ll never utilize.
When phones are way more powerful than the computers we used years ago, will they only be able to be used as phones still or can we finally have what the android has been doing for years where you can run your phone as a pretty decent computer with movable windows and all that? Or does apple know better what their consumers want?
In terms of power efficiency you say? I haven't seen the graphs for pwr consumption on the new chip, are they any good ?N3E is much better than N3B tho. Just see M4 vs M3.
Oooh, liquid cool it. …better yet just have a stint installed in your forearm artery flowing into the coolant system, to offload that hardware and keep the device as thin as possible. Plus, that way any remaining overheating issues are the users fault.
I could really use a brighter screen, since I'm in bright sunlight much of the time.
Basic question though: when is the phone using SDR brightness vs HDR brightness?

You have to remember…you aren’t the only one in the world. There are others on this planet that use this phone too…
Because it's important under sunlight, I feel like even my series 9 watch could use higher brightness than 2000nits under sun.
Unless you never go outside when it's sunny with your phone, of course you have.
Let me guess.
There's always:
1. Magnetic USB-C ports/cords
2. Under display or side button finger print reader (like on iPad Air)
3. Thicker battery to make the camera flush with the rest of the phone so it's not so ugly.
4. Mini-Led display to increase brightness.
5. 45W max charging (vs. 30).
I literally thought of 5 ways to make the iPhone better in 10 minutes. Apple has an entire year and can't even come up with more than a few minor changes.
- 20% brighter.
- A18 Pro Chip, with AI on device capabilities
- Bezel that's 1mm thinner
- Cameras 1mm wider

Is that not the peak brightness of 2000 nits that is advertised? So this new peak of 1200 for SDR is for standard lighting conditions.
