Therefore, if the sun shines on the brightness sensor, the brightness will automatically rise to a higher level, and at night, it will automatically decrease again. In any case, at night, even the minimum possible brightness can still be relatively high, and it can hurt the eyes of some users. However, there is a feature in iOS that allows you to go below the minimum brightness level twice. In the end, the display can really be almost black, which can be useful.
