Does iPhone brightness affect battery life?

[Jeremy]

Holy cow BadAsh that sounds crazy but I think I will give it a try..LOL

Yeah, the only time it may be a bit dim at that level is in direct sun light but even then you can still see the screen.

 

[jhamilton3]

Well.. had a change of heart and moved it down to 35-40%

Going to deal with it if it gives me a better battery life.. although the battery has not been as bad as most non-iPhone users make it out to be

*Most* of the people who spend time on the Crackberry forums are very biased if you haven't noticed. Even some that claim to like the iPhone!

Yeah.. I've been spending a lot more time over here ever since my iPhone arrived.

And I moved the battery down to 30-35 and decided to just live with it but if I don't notice a significant difference in the battery I'll probably bump it back up to about 50%

Wow...I normally keep my brightness to ~10%. Years of viewing my WinMo phone at that level makes even ~25% seem bright!

So, any conclusions with the experiment yet?

I know it's pretty sad isn't it... What can you do though... not much.

Battery life has been better.. and I've gotten used to the screen not being as bright as I would like it to be if it had no effect on the battery life.

I hear you. It can get pretty bad over there at times.

Sounds good. I was kinda hoping to hear you say it had no effect on battery life, but I knew that would just be wishful thinking.

 

[TheIphoneDude]

LOL TXdogs, I must say 40% to 60% suits me fine.

 

[itoine]

I keep mine all the way up aswell!

 

[jhamilton3]

50% seems to be the good enough spot for me. Definitely a lot better than 20-30% prior 3.0/3GS on my 3G

 

[Jellotime91]

I keep mine at 40% with auto-brightness so that it adjusts automatically when I go outside, and that works very well for me. I am a person who likes to play with my phone all day and just today I made it through an 8 hour outing with my friends and got home with 50% battery left.

 

[DaReaper911]

I was just wondering if the iPhone brightness level affects battery life drainage. My guess is that it would but do you guys know how much?

OH YEA!!!!

 

[Allyson Kazmucha]

I have mine at about 50% with auto-brightness turned on.

 

[EpiCoach]

when i judt thr iphone with darker display, the battery life is much longer! one hour at least.

 

[UTVOL06]

I put mine in the 75-80% range. AutoBrightness is off. I will not sacrifice all day long picture quality for 30min-1hr extra of battery life.

 

[ToyboxHero]

I always have my brightness on 0% lAsts a long time :]
