The iPhone 6 has a larger screen than the iPhone 5s, from a 4-inch screen to a 4.7-inch screen, and even the iPhone 6 Plus has a large 5.5-inch screen. With this comes more light produced from the screens and as a result the iPhone 6’s screen can be a bit bright for your liking, especially at night.
Many users check their phones at night when they are in bed or when the lights are really dim. Bright light from the iPhone 6’s screen can be blinding, and while iOS offers a quick way to adjust brightness, some users need more control than that.
iPhone jailbreakers can easily adjust their iPhone screen to make it easier on the eyes at night using an app called F.lux. Essentially, it gets rid of that nasty blue tint your screen emits in favor of a warmer color temperature. This ensures that you do not experience eyestrain. While iOS 8 and iPhone 6 don’t have access to this kind of feature, there are still ways to adjust the screen so it won’t dazzle in low-light conditions.
Here’s how you can calibrate your iPhone 6’s screen and make it more comfortable on the eyes at night by simply changing a few settings.
Manually Adjust Screen Brightness
iPhone 6 comes with the ability to adjust the brightness of the screen, and you can also set this so that the screen automatically adjusts the brightness according to the surrounding light.
However, this setting is on by default and usually doesn’t do a very good job of adjusting the brightness to an adequate level, or it may sometimes take a few minutes for the phone to recognize the ambient light and reduce the brightness. to a reasonable level.
That’s why I recommend setting it manually. In this case, you need to open the app and save the . Then simply turn it off.
From there, you can quickly access the Control Center by swiping up from the bottom of the screen and then moving the top slider left or right depending on how bright you want the screen to be, this way the screen will always be at the level you want it to be. We are comfortable with.
Take Advantage of Accessibility Settings
iOS’s Accessibility options are technically for all types of disabled users, but anyone can take advantage of them.
For example, opening the app and navigating to will list a number of different options to activate, but it contains the option screen, which we will focus on.
A setting you can change is below. Inside this setting you will see a toggle. This will essentially reduce the intensity of bright colors. It lowers the contrast a bit, but also makes it easier for your screen to strain the eyes.
Then you can enable , which will desaturate your screen but also make your screen appear dimmer. This is a good setting to turn it on if you turn the brightness all the way down but still need to dim it a bit more. The Grayscale setting gives the illusion that the screen is dimmed a bit more, but you obviously lose all the color.
Privacy Shield Screensavers
While privacy screen protectors are mainly used to protect your privacy and prevent people from looking over your shoulder to see what you are doing, they can also be used as a temporary screen dimmer.
Essentially, these screen protectors come with a special film that dims the screen when you turn the screen to a different angle. For example, have you ever watched television and noticed that the further you get to the edge, the fainter the image becomes? Privacy shields act the same way, except that instead of fading the picture, it goes completely black so you can’t see it at all. This is to prevent people sitting next to you from seeing what you’re doing on your iPhone.
However, the privacy shields darken the screen a bit, thanks to the darker film applied to the screen protector, which naturally dims the screen. That’s another way to go, plus you’re killing two birds with one stone.
