If you have an iPhone, you can lower the brightness even further by going to Settings > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut and enabling “Reduce white point”. Then you can triple press the power button to toggle it.

But I agree with your overall point. It shouldn’t be hidden under accessibility, and more devices should have lower brightness settings.

I assume it's hidden to stop users from accidentally setting brightness to its true lowest and then being unable to revert the change because the screen would now be too dark for most users to see anything at all.

Ive set that to guided access so my child can play with the phone. If anyone from Apple are reading this consider it a feature request to start this and guided access from the top right control panel. I need both.

If you have Android, I recommend https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.haxor

Yep and actual low brightness settings. Not mess with the contrast so it reduces colour depth, which is what most screens do for low brightness levels :(

I use sunglasses for that.
