Cables for connecting iphone11 to TV

Rbrown · 11-28-2020, 04:12 AM

Hi

Looking for some help. Not very good with technology.

Looking to see how best to connect my iPhone 11 to a non smart TV. To be used for Zwift cycling.

Any recommendations appreciated. Seems to be loads of options on Amazon - all with mixed reviews.

Many thanks

Stick with the genuine apple Lightening to HDMI adapter. I used to use one all the time before getting a smart tv. Easy to use but obviously cabled.

Another option if you use Amazon is to get a firestick (currently only £30 for the 4K one) and install Airplay on it. That way you can mirror your phone screen wirelessly.
You also get the benefit of turning your dumb tv into a smart one.

HTH

Edit: the app is actually called Airscreen

Or Apple TV, I found the cables I’ve had in the past to be temperamental, I love Apple TV, mine is hidden behind the TV and I use the app on my phone to connect.
