Apart from communicating and socializing, you may also want to be able to enjoy watching music videos, movies, playing games or other things on your iPhone or iPad, right? Then, did you know you can connect your iPhone to TV with USB or other tools? After building a connection between your iPhone and the television, you can enjoy watching videos and movies or playing games from your phone with your friends on a big screen.
Connecting your iPhone to TV can be done in several ways as follows:
1. You can complete the connection by using the DLNA app on your phone if your TV model is internet enabled. This method however has shortcomings because the TV might not be able to recognize your phone.
2. You can also use an Apple AV adapter cable. If you have this original cable, you will be able to enjoy faster and clear connections from your iPhone to TV. Purchasing this cable is a little expensive if you do not own it and this is one disadvantage to use this particular method.
We all know that you can connect directly if you own an Apple TV through media extender. But what if your TV is from a different manufacturer rather than from Apple? In this case, using a Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a good choice for you.
