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.
- 【DRIVER FREE】The adapter is built-in driver software, insert the network card, the driver will install automatically and enable your pc to connect to the WiFi. If your computer have no access to the internet or isnt able to read a CD driver, this would be a perfect choice.
Bluetooth Adapter:
Another way of connecting Projector and iPhone wirelessly is by using a Bluetooth Adapter.
- NOTE: The item is compatible with windows 10/8.1/8/7/XP. However, on the box there is limited space so the manufacturer do not list all of the versions and just list the most recent versions of windows
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.
