Apple’s upcoming iPhone 18 is expected to feature a significantly brighter display, offering better visibility even under direct sunlight. Current iPhones offer around 1,000 nits of brightness with up to 3,000 nits peak outdoors, but leaks suggest the iPhone 18 screen may far exceed these levels.
Leaks suggest that the iPhone 18 screen will surpass the brightness levels of previous and current models, improving HDR performance, color accuracy, and overall viewing clarity. This could make streaming videos, gaming, and using apps outdoors much easier for users.
The upgraded display may also affect Apple’s supply chain, as some manufacturers are allegedly struggling to meet the new brightness requirements. On the other hand, the ones who are capable of producing advanced panels could see increased business.
If the reports hold true, the brighter iPhone 18 screen will be one of the standout features of the upcoming lineup, enhancing user experience across many everyday scenarios.
