Display brightness on iPhone is flawed can not see screen in daylight

Despite everything I have seen as a resolution to this issue in post everywhere NOTHING works! When will this be addressed. I can’t be the only one that has set every setting I could on this phone with NO success. The iPhone is completely unusable in any type of sunlight. No matter what you do the screen will auto dim to a level of y usability. I have disabled every setting that auto adjusts the screen brightness. Full brightness still is not bright enough and adjusting goes for worst to even more worse. Rightness will be completely up and as soon as sun hits this screen for even a short Amy of time the screen just goes dark, no matter what you do and I can’t even see it. If it would just stay as it was I would be fine, is there seriously NO SOLITION after all this time? I can’t even go to a Genius Bar and show them cause it ONLY does it in direct sunlight not in store light. And a screen shot doesn’t show the screen darkness. Only way I can think to provide an example is to take a video with another phone to show it doing it but I can’t imagine no one else has seen this issue or Apple isn’t aware of it,

How is that a solution? Realistically you can’t not use your phone in the sun. Direct sunlight in my experience is everyday during the day. Am I not to use my phone during the day and have to hide my screen from sunlight to be useable? Not feasible in normal use. How about Apple just allow that to be toggled on or off. I feel it’s a software issue not hardware. why should Iphone owners be plagued with this reaction to sunlight hitting your screen? What does a dimmed screen accomplish in sunlight but to hinder the view of the screen and use-ability? Why can’t I as a owner have the ability to adjust brightness as I see fit? Did a pay over 1000 dollars to not have the flexibility to adjust settings as simple as this to accommodate my need? As stated it’s not the auto brightness. I can toggle that off yet It still overrides my manual setting of full brightness with auto brightness disabled and makes my screen darker with the brightness slider all the way up.
