Question about the iPhone

I recently got an iPhone 16. The screen is a bit on the dar side, so I went into settings and made it brighter. That's fine for a couple hours, then it goes back to the darker setting. Is there any way I can change it permanently?

That changes the color tone during the set times.
Also the phones darken the screen when they get hot.

If none of that is it I’m out of ideas.

Thanks for trying. It's no biggie. Maybe if I'm in the area of the Verizon store, I'll stop in and se if they can help me.
