You can access the brightness through the API now. Apple's philosophy is that they are better placed to make decisions than others. With screen brightness, the idea was almost definitely to save on battery life.ÂBlue Swirl wrote:I very quickly find that Apple (at the time, it may have changed) didn't allow developers access to the brightness settings, at least in the way I wanted to use them. The closed nature of iOS meant I couldn't do something clever. It meant that iPhone users were denied a torch app that did what it was meant to do. How did being closed make things better, in this case? Apple stuff is brilliant because they work on every aspect of it, from over all hardware aesthetics, right down to the tiniest details of the UI. Making it more open (in terms of both hardware and software) would not change this.
