iPhone screen dimming in bright sunlight

My iPhone has done this for a while and today I could literally see it happening. The brightness level is at full, but I think perhaps the heat is causing it to autodim. Has anyone else experience this or have a way to fix it?

iPhone Screen is too dim in direct sunlight Not sure how to fix my phone so I can easily see the screen in direct sunlight? I have auto brightness turned off and my brightness all the way up. I restarted my phone and it is nice and bright enough, but within a few seconds it goes dim by itself even though the brightness level is still all the way up. It doesn’t make any sense. Other iPhone users that I’ve been with in the sun have no issues with their phone screens and their phones are bright and still easily readable in the sun. I have to squint and create shade just to be able to see what I’m doing on my phone and it’s frustrating! Please help!

I think your observation is correct. Keep it cooler.
