The screen is advertised as 1000 nits for SDR content, so why is there no mention of the huge discrepancy here? There's also supposedly an "outdoor mode" that's not mentioned. Was it utilized or tested?

Hi, I can't explain the delta but will follow up. That's what we got in our results in the lab. I don't see an outdoor mode in settings but will follow up

I double-checked the Apple website and it does state 1000 nits sustained SDR (outdoors). So I'm guessing you need to shine bright light into its light sensor to test maximum brightness.
