Purchase Apple Products from the Apple Online StoreApple Retail Stores, and many Apple-authorized resellers and wireless service providers.



Expressing or conveying visual experiences effectively through these forums may be challenging. The underlying visual issue on your iPhone cannot be accurately diagnosed online. Factors such as your iPhone's specific settings, visual defects, and potential hardware problems cannot be assessed through this method. For more personalized and in-depth assistance, I recommend securing a Genius Bar Reservation and exploring the various support options provided by Apple.

That's completely normal physics. You can see this on literally any screen, whether it's your smartphone, tablet, TV or computer monitor.


It's also why when you properly calibrate and profile a device, you cannot move any of the calibration controls (brightness, contrast, etc.) afterwards, or you invalidate the profile.


It doesn't matter what hue you're referring to, adding brightness will always result in a more saturated hue than what you started with, and lowering the brightness will reduce the saturation.
