Screen Mirror Your iPhone To A TV With AirPlay: Here's How
iPhone users who want to mirror their screen to a TV can use the built-in AirPlay feature, provided they have a compatible television or streaming device. AirPlay is Apple's proprietary technology that lets users stream photos, audio, and video, as well as mirror their iPhone's display to other devices. AirPlay streams content over Wi-Fi and is similar to Google's Chromecast. However, while AirPlay is very limited in terms of supported devices, Chromecast works across platforms and even supports apps like Netflix, YouTube, and Hulu.
AirPlay works on Apple TV devices and allows iPhone users to stream 4K HDR video at 60 frames per second on an Apple TV 4K.
