Mirror Your iPhone 15 On A Monitor With Just A USB-C Cable – It’s That Easy!
When Apple released the iPhone 15 series, one of its most significant changes was the introduction of USB-C. Not only did this open up new possibilities for the iPhone, such as the ability to connect USB-C accessories natively, but it also brought new features, such as connecting to an external display with just a USB-C cable, mirroring the iPhone’s display.
Yes, if you have an iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Plus, you can connect it directly to a display that supports the USB-C DisplayPort standard with a compatible USB-C cable.
Apple recommends using a USB 3.1 cable for 4K60 Hz output. We tested this feature on our iPhone 15 Pro on our Benq display that supports DisplayPort and achieved the same performance. In addition, we used the cable that came with the Samsung T7 SSD. No, your default iPhone cable won’t work, but of course you can also opt for one of Apple’s high-end USB-C offerings.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to mirroring your iPhone 15 screen to an external display:
- Start by connecting the other end of a compatible USB-C cable to your iPhone 15 model.
- Next, connect the other end to the display’s USB-C DisplayPort connection.
- That’s it! Your phone should now be mirrored on your screen.
This way you can enjoy watching and playing videos on a bigger screen and overall this process is quite simple.
However, if you don’t have a display with DisplayPort, you can purchase Apple’s USB-C to Digital AV Multiport adapter, which allows you to connect to a display via HDMI.
