[insert disclaimer here] I absolutely love the phone, and I’m not returning it.
I never thought I would have these two issues, ever, but honestly, my iPhone X is significantly too bright, and moderately too loud.
I’ll explain.
I absolutely love how bright it is in direct sunlight. I’ve raved to friends about how great it is that I can see detail in the display in the midday sun, even with my polarized sunglasses (as you may know, LCD doesn’t play well with polarization). It’s a joy to use in most situations. But when I’m in a pitch black room, the screen remains too bright for comfort, even when the brightness bar is all the way at the bottom.
I wish there were a way to bring the lowest brightness down more.
And, again, I have NEVER had this problem before, but the speakers are just a scootch too loud at the lowest settings. In a quiet space, listening to podcasts, music, or even the speakerphone during calls, I’m constantly trying to turn the volume down one more tick. Granted, I have sensitive ears, but I have never before wanted to lower the volume and not been able to.
The volume thing is mild, but the screen brightness is causing me to change my nighttime habits, perhaps not a tragedy, but not my preference.
Am I alone in these two issues?
