Imagine this: you’re outside on a sunny day and you want to read a message on your iPhone. However, the screen isn’t bright enough and you can’t see anything. Frustrating, right? If you want to prevent this from happening, you’ve come to the right place!
What you need is detailed information about the brightness of different iPhone models, measured in nits. Nits? Yes, nits are the unit of screen brightness, and they can make a big difference in your user experience. You want to know how bright your iPhone screen can get, and how it compares to other smartphones. And of course, you want to buy a device with a good quality, bright screen.
But understanding nits and how they affect the user experience can be tricky. Comparing brightness specs between different devices isn’t easy. And finding a clear list of nit ratings for different iPhone models? It’s often a search.
Don’t worry, we’re here to help. In this blog post, we’re going to tell you everything you need to know about iPhone screen brightness, so you can make an informed decision when buying your next device.
What are nits?
To start, let’s take a look at what nits are. Nits are a measure of the light output of a screen. The higher the number of nits, the brighter the screen. This is especially important in bright light or outdoors, where a higher number of nits makes the screen easier to see.
Here's a breakdown of the nits ratings for different iPhone models:
- iPhone 13 Pro Max: 1000 nits (max brightness), 1200 nits (HDR)
- iPhone 13: 800 nits (max brightness), 1200 nits (HDR)
- iPhone 12: 625 nits (peak brightness), 1200 nits (HDR)
- iPhone 11: 625 nits (peak brightness)
- iPhone SE (2020): 625 nits (max brightness)
As you can see, there is a difference between peak brightness and HDR. Peak brightness is the maximum brightness the screen can reach during normal use. This includes using the phone in bright environments, such as outdoors in direct sunlight. This is the standard maximum brightness for most content and day-to-day use. HDR (High Dynamic Range) brightness refers to the peak brightness the screen can reach when playing HDR content. HDR content includes videos and images recorded with a wider range of brightness and contrast, allowing for greater detail in both the bright and dark parts of the image. This peak brightness is only achieved when playing HDR content, such as HDR videos on platforms like Netflix or Apple TV+.
Get the most out of your iPhone screen
Turn on Auto Brightness to have your iPhone automatically adjust its brightness based on the ambient light conditions. This not only helps save battery life, but also ensures optimal screen brightness. You can also turn on the True Tone feature, which adjusts the color and intensity of your screen to the ambient light. This provides a more natural view and reduces eye strain.
