are there ways to read an iPhone screen in midday sunlight?

I hike a lot and I use my iPhone Pro Max 13 as a GPS device; in the midday sun I see more or less nothing... and there are plenty of places where there's no shade - on mountains, on coasts etc.; is there a work around? brightness is on max

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

Please do not operate the iPhone in the bright Sunlight, please.



Store the device where the temperature is between -20º and 45º C (-4º to 113º F). Don’t leave the device in your car, because temperatures in parked cars can exceed this range.


Use iOS devices where the ambient temperature is between 0º and 35º C (32º to 95º F). Low- or high-temperature conditions might cause the device to change its behaviour to regulate its temperature. Using an iOS device in very cold conditions outside of its operating range might temporarily shorten battery life and could cause the device to turn off. Battery life will return to normal when you bring the device back to higher ambient temperatures. Using an iOS device in very hot conditions can permanently shorten battery life.
