I read somewhere that to achieve iphone 7 maximum brightness you need to choose auto brightness, then when you go outside the screen should adjust automatically. If it doesn't work then take it back.View attachment 659551 I have posted about various yellowing and noise from my iPhone. Today I noticed a reoccuring problem with my brightness. My iPhone 7 Plus is a tint yellow and has this brightness problem pictured bellow with similar settings to an iPhone 6 (auto-brightness is on for the 6, but it hasn't seemed to matter. The brightness seems to be stuck at a low setting even with auto brightness off and full brightness setting on the 7+. Look at the difference. The 6 isn't even at full brightness. I did a hard reset on the 7 Plus, but it's the exact same.
Send it to an Apple Store and get them to replace itView attachment 659551 I have posted about various yellowing and noise from my iPhone. Today I noticed a reoccuring problem with my brightness.

Angry...Did you read above? Maximum brightness in the sunlight is not the issue. Bad or corrupt data can sometimes be transferred via a backup file that causes the phone to act wonky. This is particularly true if your backup was from a jailbroken phone. If the issue starts after your backup is restored then it's clearly software related and not the phones hardware.
Angry...
Since it's a settings issue, did you check to make sure the "reduce white point" setting was off under accessibility.Yah it only happened from that old backup; it seems to be perfectly fine now that I 'Reset All Settings.' I'll return it though if the issue comes back. The phone is still a tad bit dimmer and yellower tint than most display models, so I'm having another tech look at it tomorrow.
I reset all the settings now, but that's definitely a good point. I'm pretty sure it was off though as I usually keep display accommodations off completely.Since it's a settings issue, did you check to make sure the "reduce white point" setting was off under accessibility.
Haha yah it was very weird. I'm guessing it's some sort of glitch and seems to be related to some sort of settings glitch. I'm just hoping that it doesn't come back. Hard reset didn't even fix it; only a 'Reset All Settings' fixed it.Wow that looks insanely comparatively dim
I hope these are the cases. I have noticed that my other ones were more yellow towards mainly the bottom too. Where was it said that that iPhones were going to be warmer this year? I've heard it said, but never knew where it came from.The new iPhone has a warmer display vs previous generations. This was done on purpose. Under low light it can look like it has a yellow tinge but this is normal. You can adjust this manually under accessibility if you prefer a cooler tone.
Also, my display, as well as many others have lost a little of this "warmness" with the curing of the adhesive between the digitizer and the LCD. This can take a week or so to fully cure. In other words, there are two things going on. The iPhone 7 is calibrated at a warmer color temp vs other phones and their is also a short period of time where the screen may appear more yellow due to the adhesive used. Something I have experienced on other iPhones during the initial rush to the market.
