Re: [apple-iphone] Portrait vs Landscape brightness
Ken and Bill,
Today there was enough daylight outside to try the rotation without sunglasses on. The screen does not dim when I rotate from portrait to landscape ( well, it does get just SLIGHTLY darker, but it doesn't totally go dark). With the sunglasses on, rotating to portrait goes to unviewable, just like it did last night indoors with sunglasses.
Sunglasses must be polarized. So, too, must be the iPhone screen.
Thanks to both for your information! From now on I'll just take off my sunglasses when I need the iPhone in landscape. Wonder how it works with rose colored glasses :-)
