How can I connect iphone to tv using HDMI cable?

HDMI cable: ONTEN

Phone: iPhone X (iOS 11)


When I connect my iphone to the tv using the HDMI cable only the sound is mirroring on the tv. And there’s always a message that pops up “PHONE LINK” what should I do?

Seems the onten adapter has those types of issues. Amazon.com: Onten Lightning to HDMI Adapter, 1080P 8 Pin Lightning to Hdmi Female Video Adapter with Lightning Charging … Varying reviews on Amazon for it.


Many third party connectors lack the HDCP support required to correctly mirror the iPhone to the TV, and have issues like that.


Best bet is to use a certified Digital AV Adapter from Apple.
