If you have acquired a New iPhone 17there may be an option that is not liking you anything, and see how, while you are playing or chatting with someone, suddenly, the brightness of the screen begins to download, having to upload it manually, or even being to the fullest, without letting you recover the one you already had.
This is due to a new function that the iPhone e ios 26where, to improve battery performance, automatic adjustments are made that may include, among other things, the reduction of brightness, since Apple considers, at that time, that it is excessive. But quiet, you can change.
Adaptive consumption on iPhone, what is it?
If you have an iphone 15 pro or higher, that is, with Apple Intelligenceyou will see a function, within the battery section, called adaptive consumption, which will be activated by default. To find her, we have to go to Settings> battery> consumption mode.
There we will see a summary of what the option means, and it will tell us that, activated, the iPhone itself will adapt the consumption so that the battery lasts more, reducing the brightness, activating the low consumption mode, or making that, tasks that are not important, take longer to process, optimize that consumption.
This is something interesting, that many want. However, others do not, and they prefer to take advantage of the maximum brightness of their iPhone, although it is consumed before, as are those looking for 100% battery, without limiting it to 80%.
In my case, I am one of these, since if I buy an iPhone with good features, it is to take advantage of it, and that option only uses it in emergency cases, disabled everything that limits the functions of the device.
If you want to enjoy the iPhone to the maximum, there are some settings that should be reviewed. For example, the Automatic brightnesswhich is in adjustments> screen and brightness. This function changes the luminosity according to the light of the environment, sometimes you can make the screen look darker than you really want, especially indoors with soft light.
Another detail to consider are the options of accessibility. In Settings> Accessibility> screen and text size you will find tools such as “Reduce White Point”, which softens intense colors. Disableing these options helps keep the screen more alive without having to be constantly shine.
It is also convenient to look at applications or modes that consume battery differently, such as the Energy saving mode. When activated, the iPhone automatically regulates the brightness and slows down some animations to prolong the battery. If you want to see everything at maximum intensity, it is best to disable it.
In summary, Apple tries to take care of the battery with automatic adjustments, but you can decide to what extent you want to prioritize the duration of making the most of what you have bought. With a few changes in adjustments, your screen may always be brilliant and your taste, without relying on what the system decides.
And you, are you one of those who use these ways, or do you always go to the fullest regardless of having to use more, or less, the charger? Leave us a comment with your opinion.
