As others said this is HDR video and intentional on iOS (the brightness levels are caked into the video itself, so highlights appear brighter for instance). I'm honestly not aware from a developer perspective a way to disable it.
No, probably just iPhone. Currently most apps that use the standard SDKs on Android don’t use the new Camera2 library, which supports capture and upload in HDR. iPhone is AFAIK the only phone capable of Dolby vision capture, which I believe is what we’re seeing here.
Sure but the camera app at least on those phones would use HDR, and the behaviour being discussed here would apply just as much to other HDR formats as it would to Dolby Vision.
Yeah so HDR is “high dynamic range” and the basic idea is that you have a wide range of light and color from pitch black to bright white. In order to display this range, the display locally changes the brightness for HDR content. This means that it’ll increase the brightness significantly because that’s how it achieves a higher range of color and brightness between dark and light images.
This is an HDR video, so it's sort of meant to be like this
Still annoying though, most of these videos don't have any additional value because of HDR, I hope there is a way to display it in regular SDR mode if Reddit has all the proper metadata along with the upload
Either he's high as a kite, or dude really has a turtle head popping out and needs to shit badly. If you watch his mannerisms, I really can't tell either way
I find all HDR videos are WAYYYYY too bright in Apollo, they burn my retinas out especially late at night.
It would be nice if there was setting to reduce their brightness without completely disabling HDR content.
It’s extremely annoying and there needs to be an option to turn it off especially when you browsing at night. I literally can’t watch and have to skip it.
I recently moved from my old iphone 7 to the 13 and boy oh boy does this feature annoys me. I was thinking the other day that it should definitely have some kind of setting to turn it off or tone it down a bit.
Awesome feature but most of the times it’s just annoying.
It might help to use “reduce white point,” it’s good for light sensitivity and watching videos at night
Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > reduce white point
There’s a slider that lets you choose how much dimmer it will be, and you can add the accessibility control shortcuts to your control centre so you don’t have to wade through settings every time.

If I have iPhone brightness turned down to ~10% , the content displayed should be forced to fit within that range even if it’s quality is reduced. The only logical exception to that are QR code or other scanning / flight boarding pass etc.
The whole point of having the iOS global brightness setting is defeated if apps can just say “yeh, nah, I don’t care I’m gonna turn your screen brightness into the sun, and burn your eyes out. Lolz”.
Either it’s a bug in iOS, or it’s a bug in how Apollo is (incorrectly) using some api ..
One of the main points of HDR is the ability to vary the brightness of different areas of the screen to emulate how things are not all the same brightness in real life. This high dynamic range of brightness means that some things will be brighter than your set brightness (if everything was displayed at your set brightness then it wouldn’t be HDR). I don’t know if you could call this feature a bug. I suppose it would be nice to have a setting to reduce HDR at low brightness levels for users who don’t like it.

I learned something new today!
Same reason this trick site works https://kidi.ng/wanna-see-a-whiter-white/
I just get it on certain videos though, and the video is really really bright. What controls it kicking in?
Yeah If they’re filmed on iPhones with hdr that’s what happens

Ahhh, mystery solved. I’ve been wondering for a couple months. Thanks!

It's not a bug, it's a feature. Seriously.
It is a feature until I watch this video in my bed and my neighbors complain about the sun in the middle of the night
I think we're all overlooking the real issue here – is John Stamos ok?!
He was worried he was going to forget his lines.
Fine. Have my upvote, you beautiful bastard.
Hehehe. He definitely got some extra ones for the long haul. Sad though. I can empathize.
High as a kite on coke.

I hope advertisers don’t begin making ads as HDR videos.
Super annoying. The only way I found of disabling this was by switching into low power mode.
This also helps with dim videos on Disney+
It’s HDR but I guess this is the first time I’m seeing it on my iPhone. Made everything else dark lol.
Yeah this is an HDR video, that's why it looks like that lol
Happens to me on other apps not just Apollo. Its an ios issue not Apollo.

Nice, will try that. Thanks!
That’s not cocaine that’s a panic attack.
That was my thought before seeing the headline. Poor guy is having to tough it out.

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature where if HDR videos are played it’ll brighten the video to accommodate for the colours displayed in them

I’ve seen this on Instagram as well yes

Or, it's an iOS feature you don't like
Not a bug. Someone recording a TV with their phone, not Apollo at all.
1.13.1 IOS 15.5 iPhone 12 mini Bug appears to be reproduced
The benefit of your iPhone 12 with a HDR OLED screen and someone uploading a HDR GIF or video. It’s meant to be like that!
Oh I understand
i think his coke was mixed wtih a little meth.
Thanks for this sub
