On iOS, major content service providers that allow screen mirroring in their apps include: Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Disney+, HBO Max, Tubi, Pluto TV etc.

Currently, the only iOS devices that use a USB-C connector and comply with Alternate Mode are iPad Pro (3rd gen and later), iPad Air (4th gen and later).Currently, the maximum supported resolution is 1600 x 900. A teardown revealed that the Lightning Digital AV Adapter contains an ARM system-on-chip (SoC), which decodes the output stream and sends it over HDMI.The iPhone 4S, iPad 2, iPad Mini 1st gen, iPod touch 5th gen (devices with Apple A5 system-on-chip) are the first devices that support screen mirroring.The iPhone 4, iPad 1st gen, and iPod touch 4th gen (devices with Apple A4 system-on-chip) only display videos, photos, presentations, and slideshows on a secondary display, and cannot mirror the entire screen.iOS devices, which traditionally did not use Micro USB or USB-C, are able to provide wired video output with adapters for the proprietary 30-pin dock connector ( Apple 30-pin to VGA Adapter, Apple 30-pin Digital AV HDMI Adapter) and Lightning connector ( Lightning to VGA Adapter, Lightning Digital AV HDMI Adapter). Even if support is present, it may not be prominently indicated on a device's specification list.Īll iOS devices ( iPhone 4 and later, iPod touch 4th gen and later, iPad 1st gen and later) support wired video output. As Android and the now-defunct Windows 10 Mobile are mobile operating systems, most manufacturers do not include support for wired video output.
