If your iPhone 14 doesn’t go dark, it might be due to the True Tone or Night Shift settings, which adjust your screen’s colors based on ambient lighting but may not necessarily darken it. To make your screen darker, try adjusting the brightness manually from the Control Center. Also, enable Dark Mode in Settings under Display & Brightness, which changes the interface colors to darker tones. If these steps don't help, check for any pending software updates, as they often fix bugs and improve performance.
