All backlit LCD displays can be a challenge to see when used in very bright ambient lighting conditions - in particular when used outdoors or in bright sunlight. Assuming that if your iPad is operating at its maximum screen brightness, you have limited options.

Consider shading the screen - or moving to a shadier location. You should note that when being used in sunshine, the iPad internal temperature can soar, resulting in the screen brightness being automatically reduced to reduce heating.

Alternative strategies are to replace your current iPad with a model that has a brighter screen - such as those that feature a miniLED backlit (iPads Air M2 and fifth generation iPad Pro 12.9") or OLED display (iPads Pro M4), that are capable of much higher screen brightness.
