Computer needed or I phone 11 with keyboard and Apple TV

I want to know if I can use these devices to work like a computer by connecting them to my I phone 11. I have a Apple TV device connected to my Samsung TV. I have an Apple Wireless Keyboard (MC184LL/B). I need a larger screen to work on Excel documents and genealogy programs. Can these devices to make it work.


If it can be done this way, how do I set it up or get my TV to see the programs and make it work.

If not, do I need a computer and would it have to be a Mac or could I use an Android computer?

Thank you for helping this Grandma

We are unclear still what you want to do. If for example you have some content on your iPhone and you want to mirror that to the Samsung TV, no computer is needed, just an Apple TV. However, not all content can be mirrored from the iPhone as some content providers prohibit their content from doing that.


If you have something like an Excel spreadsheet that is on your computer and you wan to use the Samsung as a second screen you either need a TV that supports AirPlay 2 or you need a computer and a Apple TV .


In short, when writing a question, please write very specific questions. Remember we cannot read minds or look over your shoulder to see what you own and what you want to do. Perhaps if you read Writing an effective Apple Support Communities Question you will get a good idea of what we need from you to assist.
