That's an interesting thought, Ken. I usually wear sunglasses outdoors, but not sure if they are polarized. I had at first thought that maybe the iPhone screen might be such that the viewing angle might be affected.

I just put on my sunglasses (clip ons over my regular eyeglasses) here indoors in the evening, and I do see the same effect: dimming when rotating to landscape.

Thanks for that clue. I'll have to followup outdoors tomorrow when it is lighter again.
