Your auto brightness is setup wrong then. In strong light make the screen as bright as you'd like it, and in low light make the screen as dim as you'd like it. With auto brightness turned on it will figure out everything else.

i'm not saying it would be good or bad, just seems like removing a setting and replacing it with automation they swear is better is something they'd pull. and it looks like they're replacing the hardware screen brightness keys so it's a possibility. or maybe it will just look like this

the only thing that bugs me about auto brightness is that once you touch it it remains disabled until you go into settings and turn it off and on again

after you lock the screen it should revert back to auto brightness imo

when u change the brightness it remembers how bright the ambient light was when you changed it and sets it accordingly. if the ambient light changes then it goes to a different level.

so if you crank it up inside it will think you want it really bright while inside and it will stay bright until you go somewhere darker or brighter.

sometimes I want minimum brightness for less distraction in dark rooms, sometimes I want it in the middle for better readability

70% brightness is best for readability and battery life balance, but I need 100% for good color accuracy and proper contrast when that's relevant to my work

i also adjust the brightness to the minimum usable sometimes in public outdoor situations to foil shoulder-readers

point is hiding the function by default is fine as long as there's a easy way to re enable or invoke it

Apple isn't so good about doing that

If they make it so it actually rolls into a tube like that video, it won't be long before they start making some crazy widescreen formats for it.
Prepare for 21:9 phones except for the one guy who held it wrong and now it's a 9:21 vertical video.

no, you're just overthinking and overjanitoring your phone's screen brightness.
