Anyone else having issues playing videos now after upgrading to iOS16 using the HDMI adapter? Tubi doesn’t work. Amazon doesn’t work. It plays but as if it’s in slow motion. Videos I purchased play just fine.
any help or ideas are greatly appreciated!
iPhone XS Max
Great news, sort of. Thanks for checking. I had contacted Apple by phone in early October and they first blamed the problem on my TV and then second on the apps. Clearly it is an ios problem or firmware problem or lack of communication with app developers problem. Looks like they now think it is firmware.
Until its fixed if you're desperate and if you have an iPad on 15.7 or alternatively buy an old refurbished iPad, iPhone 8 or SE (about $150 on Amazon), download all the streaming apps and use it with the HDMI adapter while using your real phone as a hot spot to connect it to the internet. You just have to make sure the refurbished iPhone has ios 13.4 - 15.7 on it (Hulu requires 13.4 and Pluto 13.0 and Peacock 13.?). I'm doing this with my iPad that's still on 15.7.
I know everyone has said Apple doesn’t read these but Apple please fix the HDMI Adapter with iOS 16 video slow no sound on Discovery+, Prime, HBO max. The sad thing is I just paid for a year subscription for all 3!!!!!!! Please fix or read for God sakes
If I do so, which data will be lost on my iPhone?
Furthermore, this can't be a permanent solution. Apple has to fix this sooner or later. I wonder why Apple Support keeps ignoring this issue which affects thousands of customers worldwide.
I had this issue again with Apple TV original content even if it was working few weeks ago.
really don’t understand why !
ih that was a software issue regarding apps, I guess that Apple would not be concerned by this issue !
maybe it’s a new management on drm content that would explain that it someone works or not !
really fed up with this mis working adaptor with ios16
That doesn’t really explain anything, it simply brings us to a home page that has nothing to do with any hdmi adapter, just a list of some of the most recent general Apple posts. Do you have a direct link of what you are referring to?
No not to my knowledge. I haven’t seen any responses from Apple in my email. Pretty sad they can’t even respond. I think it’s because they will **** off millions of customers by telling the truth that they knew this would happen and they are not going to fix it. Pretty sad really.
It has to be an issue they can’t fix because the pressure from millions of iPhone users who now can’t use their adapters (I am only guessing millions use these adapters globally) and the pressure put on apple from streaming companies now getting complaints from their customers you would think would force apple to correct it fast. This isn’t affecting just apple and their reputation. Many could cancel subscriptions over this and that means dollars.
Sad reality is it is looking like all our adapters are now garbage. : (
Well, I finally got Apple support to reply and this is what they said.
Hi Bigdog345,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Community.
We’ve removed your post HDMI adapter, prime video and iOS16…NOT working. because it contained off-topic or non-technical posts.
Hi Guys,
Sorry, It worked for me...
I don't have Amazon Prime or Hulu but Canal+ and Eleven Sports.
When I installed this 16.1 on my Iphone and Ipad it stoped immediately working with my Apple HDMI adapter.
Saw someone doing it on a forum and tried. This fixed my issue.
Now imagine a world of EVs controlled by the “internet of things.” Imagine digital IDs and digital currency. Imagine a social credit score system. If they can manage to ruin adapters this easily imagine what else can be done with technology.
All of this because we assumed when we updated it wouldn’t render other Apple products we already own inoperable. In ONE update they manage to brick our adapters.
Today adapters. What tomorrow??? Our lives???
Lesson here I think is disconnect. Thanks Apple for the wake up call.
Why should anyone have to spend hours on the phone? You own adapters. You own devices. You pay for prime or whatever. This shouldn’t even be a thing. You want to take video from your phone and display it on a TV through an adapter. All things you own! You are even paying for the video you want to stream. It’s not like any of us are running a movie theater and profiting off showing content. This entire thing is ridiculous. Today it’s adapters. What tomorrow? After some update what won’t work then? Who knows.
It’s a wake up call I think.
And start canceling memberships. Then they real quickly solve the problem I guarantee it. They probably just don’t want anyone using these adapters any longer and won’t come out and say it.
Had I known what I know now I wouldn’t have updated!
When I activate Hulu app with the HDMI adapter, it does not work it skips it freezes know are you picture looks good, but one thing I have noticed the commercials play flawlessly as of today I have canceled my Hulu subscription along with prime and Paramount. Plus they do not work I won’t have to pay pay for something I can I use so I’m done.
Does Apple recognize this issue? If so, what actions have they taken or planned to take? I am part of all the complaints, but I am not seeing any movement by Apple or an Apple representative. Does anyone have a trouble ticket number?
Well, another me too here. Not seeing any solutions to this problem. The message I get says that you have to use an HDMI cable not VGA but I have my HDMI cable connected to my HDMI lightning converter which I’ve been using. iOS 16 looks like a bust.
Apple cannot admit to the HDMI error in iOS 16 because then it will challenge the existence of the iPhone 14, which just has iOS 16 and unable to install iOS 15.7.
This would trigger worldwide lawsuits.
Same issue as described. Here’s the kicker…
if I watch a “Trailer” for a movie, it plays sound and imagery is smooth… just like it used too…
tell it to play movie… jerky images and NO SOUND.
past frustrating. We are users NOT fixers.
why not throw another iOS update to FIX a created problem?
HDMI adapter, prime video and iOS16…NOT working.
