One annoying thing I've noticed is that a low brightness setting on the iPhone screen makes a big difference with light vs. dark mode.

For example, at night, sitting in a low-lit living room, I can set the brightness to 20% and comfortably read articles where the text is black on a white background. But if I then switch to a "dark mode" app that has white text on a black/gray background, I need to bump the brightness up to 30-40% for it to be comfortable.

I'm not sure what the solution is, or even what the "scientific" explanation is. Isn't the contrast exactly the same?

Surely this is not an uncommon problem?
