Use a Lightning to HDMI Cable
With the many advanced projectors out on the market, it’s possible to have the experience of a wide-screen theater right in your own home. It also means you can watch nearly anything by connecting your iPhone or streaming devices. If you want to watch Netflix specifically, there are a couple of ways you can do so with your iPhone and projector. The easiest way to connect an iPhone to a projector to watch Netflix is to get a lightning-to-HDMI adapter. Here’s how to connect this to your projector.
Cast Through a Streaming Device
You can also play Netflix through your iPhone to a projector by connecting a streaming device to the projector and casting your iPhone to the device. This setup is a good option if you already have a streaming device. A Roku is a solid choice. Although Apple TV might seem like a more obvious choice to use, Netflix has stopped supporting AirPlay to Apple TV devices. Here’s how to cast to a streaming device with your iPhone
Playing Netflix On a Projector
There are many projectors out there now with differing capabilities, so connecting to one with your iPhone may not be a one-size-fits-all situation. However, if you have a newer type or smart projector, you should have fewer roadblocks. If you’ve yet to buy a projector, keep in mind some smart projectors now come with Netflix software built-in, so you won’t need anything like an iPhone to send the video. The projector would need to connect to your local Wi-FI to stream the content.
