RE: Screen brightness.

Well, my experience is that if I set my phone to use auto brightness under settings, accessibility, display and text size; and use the screen curtain, the brightness is always at zero unless I turn off the screen curtain. I seem to get better battery life than many, and I notice the battery

RE: Screen brightness.

Hi Richard, I think your statement that battery life goes down "much faster" without screen curtain is relative. I highly doubt you could show that say in a two hour time period it would go down by 6% without screen curtain and only by 4% with screen curtain. You also would have to replicate

RE: Screen brightness.

With LED displays, setting the screen to dark or changing it's brightness won't impact the battery since they're backlit. With OLED displays it should take less energy to power a dark display, but I haven't looked for any benchmarks on this. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) =>÷ Chaltain at Outlook, USA

RE: Screen brightness.

I don't think you will notice a huge difference whether you have it set to dark mode or light mode. If you have a phone with OLED screen there might be a very small difference since apparently dark pixels use up less power, but it would be quite minimal. Of course you may as well set it to dark

RE: Screen brightness.

Hi Christopher, You probably meant to say "with LCD displays" since as far as I know iPhones went from LCD to OLED, I am not aware there was ever an iPhone with a regular LED display. Also, it apparently does make a difference with LCD screen iPhones how bright your screen is because as you

Screen Recognition and Quick Settings, mystery sort of cleared up

First, Screen Recognition came in with iOS 14 though it was seldom talked about until iOS 15. To have it show up in Quick Settings, you have to first turn it on under Settings, Accessibility, VoiceOver, VoiceOver Recognition. If it is not on there, it will not be in Quick Settings. I
