How to Use Projector with iPhone using 7 Methods.

You have bought a new Projector, but you cannot find a way to connect it to your iPhone. Because the manufacturers provide an HDMI or VGI cable along the Projector, which can be connected to Desktop or Laptop Computers. Then How do we connect our Projectors to our iPhones? Here we will show you some methods on How to Use Projector with iPhone.

How to Use Projector with iPhone:

There are several methods of connecting a Projector with an iPhone. Here we are going to group them into two categories. Wired and Wireless.

How to Use Projector with iPhone using Wired Methods:

As we have mentioned earlier, you will get either an HDMI cable or a VGI cable along with the Projector. However, you can purchase certain cables and adapters to use Projector with iPhone. 

iPhone to HDMI Cable:

All modern Projectors have an HDMI port for connectivity. But, iPhones don’t have an HDMI port. So, you can use the Lightning to HDMI cable to connect your iPhone with the Projector.

iPhone to HDMI Adapter:

If you have an HDMI cable, you can use the iPhone to HDMI Adapter that has a lightning plug on one side and an HDMI port on another.

iPhone to VGA Adapter:

Old Projectors used to have VGA Ports for connectivity. You won’t find an iPhone to VGA Cable, but you can find an iPhone to VGA Adapter. So, if your projector has a VGA Port, you can get a VGA Cable, and use this Adapter to connect both the devices.

iPhone to USB Cable:

An iPhone to USB Cable has a USB-A Male Plug on one side, and the Apple Lightning Plug on another. 

Here is an iPhone to USB Cable.

iPhone to USB Adapter:

You can also use an iPhone to USB Adapter. The Adapter has a Male Apple Lightning Plug on one side, and a USB-A Female Port on another. If you are using this adapter, you would also need a USB-A to USB-A cable.

How to Use Projector with iPhone using Wireless Methods:

There are two Wireless Methods by which you can connect Projector with iPhone. That are Bluetooth and WiFi.

Almost all Smartphones (including iPhones) have Bluetooth and WiFi features. But, not all Projectors have WiFi connectivity features. 

If you own a Smart Projector, you can easily connect Projector with iPhone.

But, if you don’t have a Smart Projector, you can use Wireless Adapters.

Note that your Projector should have a USB Port to plug the USB Adapters.

WiFi Adapter:

If your projector doesn’t have Smart Wireless connectivity features, you can use WiFi Adapter or WiFi Dongle to connect Projector with iPhone.

Bluetooth Adapter:

Another way of connecting Projector and iPhone wirelessly is by using a Bluetooth Adapter.

Conclusion:

If you wish to use the Wired method, I suggest connecting them through VGA or HDMI ports. Because the USB Cable and Adapter are not suitable for transferring high-quality data. However, you can use any of the Wireless methods, whichever you feel convenient. But, for using the Wireless Adapters, your Projector should at least have a USB Port. So, which method will you choose to Use Projector with iPhone? Comment and let us know.
