I had an old tv that would dim the screen in dark scenes so we couldn't watch anything dark in the daytime.

DESCRIPTION: A space for anyone who uses Apple products, appreciates what they get right, and wants to talk plainly about what they don’t. This is a friendly place for healthy criticism. You don’t have to love the company. You don’t have to hate it either. If you want honest discussion about Apple hardware, software, ecosystem choices, design decisions, frustrations, or pleasant surprises, you’re welcome here.
RULES: This is a place for:
- Thoughtful critique, real-world experience, and respectful disagreement
- Sharing tips, solutions, workarounds, and overlooked features
- Questioning decisions without turning everything into a complaint thread
- Welcoming users at any level of experience or enthusiasm
This is not a place for:
- Trolling, pile-ons, or knee-jerk negativity
- Brand loyalty debates
- Personal attacks, sarcasm aimed at other users, or rhetorical grandstanding
- Gatekeeping based on technical skill, platform history, or product ownership
- Derogatory references to cults or fanboyism. I don’t actually believe those things really exist anymore. If you wanna talk about them in a historical context, that’s totally fine.
You use Apple. You think about it. (Maybe you think different). That’s all it takes to participate here.

What device is this? Android does it the right way
Every iOS device
Speaking of iOS, this is off-topic but any thoughts on Yubikey for Apple ID log in (personal device).
Never heard of them. Took a quick look. To me, just in my opinion, for an individual, it’s more trouble than it’s worth. The security key functionality of my iPhone is one thing I have been overall pleased with, TBH.
Thank you.
We started using them at work right before the pandemic. I’m a fan.
I never thought about using it for my personal iPhone until I got locked out of iCloud last month; yes, I definitely agree with you regarding Apple security. Right now, I’m trying to figure out a way to not get locked out again, lol.
Huh? iOS doesn’t dim the screen when you’re going to change the brightness.
It 100% does my friend
No it doesn’t. What version are you using? Where are you seeing it get darker? It literally stays the exact same brightness.
I stick my phone under the lamp for about 3 seconds because I don’t want to mess with the settings, lol.
