During my recent Nevada and Mojave trip, there were a couple occasions when the screen on my iPhone would start getting dim while I was flying the Mavic, quickly reaching a point where I could barely see anything. In fact the first time it happened I had to stop the flight because I couldn't see anything, and then suddenly the app seemed to disconnect or something, and I had to use the RTH button on the controller to bring back the drone and land it.
The screen would remain dark even after shutting off the app and disconnecting the phone physically from the controller. After a short time it would go back to normal.
On each of these occasions I was flying in very hot conditions in the desert, with temperatures near or above 100 F. So I'm wondering if the heat had anything to do with it. Does the iPhone do this as a protective feature to prevent overheating? Or is something else going on?
