Dimmer iPhones at night

At night time I like to unwind a bit before falling asleep. My favorite way to do this is with an audiobook or podcast.

I’m also not immune to the draw of the phone itself. So sometimes I’ll play a simple game. But since I don’t want a bright light shining into my eyes it’s important to dim the screen.

However, sometimes that’s not enough.

In Settings > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut I’ve set Reduce White Point as the shortcut for triple-clicking the side button on my phone. That way the phone becomes incredibly dark, emitting very little light. Then if I have to check my phone in the middle of the night I’m not blinded.
