My iPhone Air’s screen mirroring feature isn’t working.

My iPhone Air’s screen mirroring feature isn’t working. My current iOS version is 26.1. I bought an Aurzen ZIP tri-fold DLP mini projector and I want to connect it using screen mirroring, but the feature keeps failing to find the device. Can you help me find a solution? Or does anyone else have the same question?

iPhone X, iOS 16

The Aurzen ZIP tri-fold DLP mini projector has Bluetooth and doesn’t need to be connected to Wi-Fi. As long as the projector is turned on and stays on the main screen, in theory the screen-mirroring feature should be able to detect the projector, just like how Bluetooth detects devices.


The key point is that both my iPhone X and iPhone 16 can detect the Aurzen ZIP tri-fold DLP mini projector, and they can mirror the phone screen and play videos without any problems.


However, the screen-mirroring feature on the iPhone Air can’t find the projector at all.

You need to contact Aurzen. Assuming your iPhone Air can pair with other Bluetooth devices, it's an issue with the projector. One thing I'm curious to know is if you have any VPN tools on your iPhone. VPN most definitely isn't needed AND can cause major connectivity issues.
