  • Today we are looking at Apples Lighting Digital AV Adapter. I bought this for personal reasons and really wanted to be fully satisfied with the product. Unfortunately what makes the Lighting Digital AV Adapter not as great as it should be is not the Adapter itself, but the restrictions the Apple IOS puts on you when using this device. So should you get it? Watch to learn more

    Ever since the iOS 12 update My iPhone 8 Plus and iPad Air 2 both don’t work with the adapter they are both on iOS 12.1 and I doesn’t matter if i have the display zoom on or not. Sometimes I can get it to mirror on the screen but only for a few seconds and then I cuts out. Sometimes it shows up in settings>general>about but not all the time. It’s not the HDMI cable or screen. I think it has to do with the software because it worked flawlessly for the past couple years.

    I keep one of these in my tech travel bag, when I go to a hotel I will plug up my iPhone or iPad to the hotel TV and what whatever I want. I will also use it for productivity sometimes with my iPad. Beyond that ya, these things are kinda useless. If iOS treated this as an external second display rather then mirroring unless an app has a specific function and the latency was not so bad it would be decent, but as it is a no.

    I have an iPhone SE 2020 edition. My TV is fairly new, supports 4K and has a built-in Apple TV Mirroring ability. I've tried some games on it, and some work fine, and others have too slow of frame rate.
    Has anyone compared the frame per second of mirroring to the latest Apple TV vs using this cable? Would it improve the frame rate of some games being a wired connection, vs a wireless connection with the Apple TV? Thanks.

It works for every other streaming app, but as soon as I go to direct tv app it says hdmi output not supported. Now we tried a third party dongle not apple specific and it's coming up with a whole bunch of new issues. Any help please let me know.

    Bought one of these-same as yours, it did not work-no image at all. Tried it on several pc monitors and two TV’s all modern with HDMI inputs. No power to iPhone or iPad via the adapter, no green charging light on iPad etc. but power from same source has a green charge indicator on iPad-iPhone. Spent half a day going through all the options, same message ‘no signal from HDMI’ The HDMI cables I tried 3 new cables, all worked fine when tested from PC to monitor. I am at the stage of taking the adapter outside and introducing it to a very big hammer.
