Wirelessly Connect Your iPhone to Your TV With AirPlay
AirPlay is Apple's proprietary wireless streaming technology. It allows you to send an image, song, or video from your iPhone to an AirPlay receiver connected to your TV. The most popular AirPlay receiver is the Apple TV, despite its hefty starting price of $149.
Though, you can also find lots of cheaper AirPlay receivers to use instead.
The Apple TV is a sleek device that not only lets you watch videos on your television, but also provides access to over 6000 Apps in the App Store. You can view recent photos from an iPhone or play music saved on iTunes Radio directly through this media player!
If you want to connect your iPhone to a computer display instead, you can do so with an app called AirServer, which costs around $20. You can also buy audio equipment compatible with AirPlay for streaming music.
How to Screen Mirror Your iPhone to Your TV With AirPlay
When you mirror your screen, an image appears on the TV that exactly matches what's shown from either iPhone or iPad. It even has same aspect ratio as before so it won't fill up every little inch of space like some other TVs do when they show something fullscreen- which means this allows users to continue using their devices while watching whatever comes out live through streaming services such as Netflix!
To screen mirror your iPhone or iPad's screen to a TV:
- Swipe down from the top-right corner to open Control Center. On an iPhone 8 or earlier, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open it instead.
- Tap the Screen Mirroring button and choose your AirPlay receiver. On your phone's lock screen, a blue bubble with a TV inside appears at the top of your screen to show that you're mirroring your iPhone or iPad screen to the TV.
- To stop screen mirroring, return to the Screen Mirroring option in Control Center and tap Stop Mirroring.
How to Cast Video From Your iPhone to Your TV Using AirPlay
Casting a video to your TV is the best way watch movies or view photos on an HDTV, since they aren't limited by just how big their screen can be. You'll also have access other apps while casting videos which will show up as normal sized instead of huge images that take over half our living rooms!
To cast video from to your TV without screen mirroring:
- Load the content on your iPhone that you want to send to your TV.
- Look for an AirPlay button in the app, which might be in the Share menu. If you can't find it, open the Control Center and long-press on the Media Controls item in the top-right corner.
- Tap the AirPlay button and choose your AirPlay receiver. A blue bubble appears at the top of your lock screen to show that you're casting a video to your TV.
- To stop casting video to your TV, tap the blue AirPlay bubble, then tap the AirPlay button and choose to play the video on your device instead of the TV.
If you're looking for a way to stream music or video from your iOS device without having any wires involved, AirPlay is one of the most reliable options out there. However! Keep in mind that because this streaming technology relies on wireless connections between devices and TVs/projectors it can sometimes suffer when faced with interference such as radio waves coming off older appliances like microwaves which may cause playback delays.(Estimated)
Whether you're playing games or watching videos, AirPlay is always a great choice for smooth playback. It may not be as fast and lag-free when it comes to gaming but who cares? The point of having this technology in your house isn't so that everything will run smoothly all day long!
Mirror Your Screen With a Wired Adapter
To avoid delays between your iPhone or iPad and the TV screen, consider using a wired adapter to connect your iPhone to a TV. There are a few drawbacks to wired adapters, but the latest models are better than they once were.
One of the most inconvenient parts about using your smartphone or tablet for video is that it only has one connection point available - its Lightning port. The lack in connections means you need to buy a clunky adapter if want access HDMI/VGA signals with any ease, which can be costly over time! So what do we recommend? Here's where Airplay comes into play by streaming videos wirelessly from iTunes instead on having them stored locally onto memory cards found inside devices themselves.
The first batch of Lightning-to-HDMI adapters topped out at a resolution of 900p. And while the latest Apple Lightning-to-HDMI adapters promise 1080p, the reviews still aren't great. Users mention frequent black screens and sudden hardware failures.
You can also get Lightning-to-VGA adapters or USB-C-to-HDMI adapters, depending on your device and TV inputs. And USB-C to HDMI adapters will currently output up to 4K HDR at 60Hz.
The $49+ price tag is steep for these adapters and they don't provide a good value. Additionally, you can only use wired ones to mirror your device screen which makes Apple TV's wireless convenience look well worth it at extra cost!
To mirror your iPhone or iPad screen to a TV using an adapter:
- Connect your adapter to the Lightning or USB-C port on your iPhone or iPad.
- Use an HDMI cable to connect your TV to the adapter.
- Switch to the correct input source on your TV to see the screen mirroring from your iPhone or iPad.

Chromecast is a cheaper and more flexible alternative to Airplay. It can be used for connecting your phone or tablet with any TV that has an HDMI port, which means you won't have stop using one device just because it's not convenient anymore!

If you're looking for an affordable way to connect your iPhone or iPad with a TV, AirPlay may be the answer. Wired solutions can cost as much and often times they don't work very well either! But there's one problem - Apple doesn’t make it easy on us developers who need access points so that our apps will work properly when connected through this protocol (Lightning).
The Chromecast is a device that allows you to cast video from your phone or tablet, but it's not without its difficulties. There are several ways for users with an Apple TV however!
