iPhone X dims while using Waze

This has been an ongoing issue for a while, and is continuing even with a replacement phone. While using Waze, after about 5 to 10 minutes, the phone will heat up, then dim. While it's still readable (barely) in the car, when on my motorcycle, it's unusable. Im currently using iOS 14.5.1.

Any suggestions?

Dimming phone due to overheating What’s the deal with the dimmer tripping over heat issues. It’s not the auto dimmer it does it when I’m playing Cod and it’s very annoying. Please fix this issue

it opens auto dimmed to half I am wallowing in Apple iPhone 12 Hell. I pick up my phone and unlock it…dimmed. Put it down for a few seconds on its face…dimmed. I have scoured the internet. I have turned off everything mentioned all the way back to IPhone 7. I have had it. No, it’s not overheating. I have taken it to the iPhone store, only to be told I must be doing something wrong. is there a good reason not to change phones. Maybe the newest Samsung would be nice.

12 pro max dims all the time Has anyone figured out how to stop the phone from self dimming all the time. Yes I have turned off everything related to dimming. Yes I have taken my phone to an apple store and had it restored. Still randomly dims especially if I’m outside even in the shade. Most annoying thing ever.

The phone's screen dims when the phone is running too hot. Maybe a different GPS app would run a bit cooler? Do you have a different case you can try?
