Did you know that you can use your iPhone to show documents or deliver presentations on the go? Gone are the days when you had to carry a laptop and a heavy projector around to give presentations. Now, you can do that straight from your iPhone.
If you don’t have a big TV at home, you can connect your iPhone to a projector and turn an empty wall into a big movie screen. Of course, you won’t get the same video quality but you can save hundreds of dollars.

Connect Your iPhone to a Mini Projector
If you’re looking for a portable projector to use with your iPhone, here are three excellent options from Amazon:
ELEPHAS Portable Projector
AuKing Mini Projector
HOMPOW Mini Projector
There are two main ways to connect your iPhone to a portable projector: wirelessly or with cables. Of course, the simplest way is via Wi-Fi. Make sure both devices are connected to the same wireless network. If your projector supports Bluetooth, you can use this option to transmit audio. Keep in mind that Bluetooth doesn’t transmit video content.
Use a Mobile Projection App
There are plenty of mobile projection apps that you can download from the App Store. Open the App Store and search for an app compatible with your projector model. For example, if you use an Epson projector, download and install the Epson iProjection app. If you use a Panasonic projector, get the Smart Projector Control app.
All mobile projection apps support QR codes that allow you quickly pair your iPhone to the projector. If you’re using a presentation app such as Microsoft PowerPoint, make sure the app you want to download supports the file format you’re using.
Use a Cable to Connect Your iPhone to a Projector
For a more stable connection, use an adapter cable to connect your iPhone to your projector. Get an original Apple Lightning Digital AV adapter and use it to connect your iOS device to your projector’s HDMI port.
On the other hand, if you’re using an old projector, you may need a Lightning to VGA adapter. You can also use a third-party adapter cable to get the job done. Keep in mind that using non-Apple cables may sometimes break the connection between the two devices.
Conclusion
You can easily use your iPhone to give presentations or project movies. Unfortunately, you can’t use the device as a stand-alone projector. You need a portable projector to get the job done. For a stable connection, use an adapter cable to connect your iPhone to your projector. Alternatively, you can pair your devices wirelessly or via a mobile projection app.
