The arrival of the iPhone 9 years ago , marked a radical change in lifestyle we were a , not just talking about communication, but also in terms of entertainment and how it is consumed today.
Smartphones and tablets now allow the use of digital content quickly and easily , whether music, pictures, video games and even books. And perhaps one of the great advantages of this is that all that sea full of magic and fun can be easily shared with others through the use of external displays such as television or computer monitor.
Doubling the screen of your iOS device on the TV or computer, it is extremely easy and it does not require computer skills to lift an entire local network, because there are such simple devices as a connector to allow the task in just a seconds, literally.
If you do not know how, do not worry, then I'll show you two ways to do this .

Obviously, to connect the iPhone or iPad to the external display requires an adapter where you can synchronize the HDMI cable to the input Lightining coming with current Apple devices.
While you can buy different economic accessories for your iPhone or iPad in stores like Amazon or BestBuy , in the case of adapter Lighting-HDMI it is almost impossible to buy a generic connector so it should be disbursed about 50 euros approximately, which is the cost of the original product manufactured by Apple. This certainly is a drag on the economy of some, but surprise, surprise !, is often the most affordable option.
The main advantage of this method is that if for example you want to connect your iOS device to your monitor , you will not require the use of the PC, so you can connect it directly while you have your computer turned off. However, it is also possible to use both the HDMI connect to the motherboard and using the QuickTime program in simple terms, using Windows or MacOS and iOS simultaneously .

The Apple TV 2015 , as well as past generations, is the solution of the Cupertino company to turn an ordinary TV into a Smart TV. One of its main functions is to double the iPhone or iPad screen on an external display through the service AirPlay .
Although it requires the use of internet, it does not take up a lot of bandwidth for streaming in real time, so you can still use the network connection normally, if the discharge rate is low (<5 Mbps) .
To use AirPlay on your iPhone or iPad, you need at least:
- iPhone 4S, iPad 2 or iPod Touch 5 Generation (hereinafter for all models)
- Apple TV second generation onwards
- Wi-Fi connection
Obviously, both the Apple TV and the iPhone or iPad must be connected to the same network, since otherwise the AirPlay function can not be activated .
If you've done this, you should proceed to the manual activation of AirPlay on Apple TV service . On your iPhone or iPad you must press the AirPlay button on the control center to activate the "Clone" option. Voila!
Using the iPhone or iPad as a remote control for video games
Obviously, having doubled the screen, you will have access to all the functions of IOS from your computer or television, which includes not only playing videos, images, songs, but also applications and video games.
This latter aspect is much more interesting, because there are some titles that allow use iPhone / iPad as a remote control . In particular, some of those games are.
