There are many presentation apps out there, like PowerPoint and Keynote, but no one wants to huddle around their phone to peer at their slides. In this guide, we’ll show you how to connect your iPhone to a projector or TV, either wirelessly or with cables. You can also connect your iPhone to a mini projector.
Perhaps the easiest way to connect your iPhone to a projector is with a simple adapter cable. Every projector has a video cable that is used to connect it to the laptop, tablet, or phone that is being projected. That is what you will be using here. However, since the iPhone does not have a standard video port, you will need an adapter.
Apple sells two adapters that allow you to connect an iPhone to a projector:
If you regularly use the same projectors with your iPhone, you can probably get by with just one of these cables. Just check the cable on the projector you plan to use (VGA is the thick, 30-pin cable with screws on either end; HDMI is the thin, wide connector used on HDTVs).
