How to Mirror iPhone Display on Windows

Mirroring your iPhone display onto a Windows PC can be incredibly useful for a variety of reasons. Whether you want to share presentations, watch videos on a larger screen, or simply control your iPhone from your computer, there are several methods to achieve this. This article will guide you through the most common and effective ways to mirror your iPhone display on Windows.

Using a Wired Connection: Apple USB-C to Lightning Cable

The simplest and most reliable way to mirror your iPhone display on Windows is by using an Apple USB-C to Lightning cable. This method offers a stable connection and ensures a high-quality display. However, it requires a Windows 10 or later operating system and a compatible iPhone model (iPhone 5 and later).

Here's how to mirror your iPhone display using a wired connection:

Connect your iPhone to your Windows computer using the Apple USB-C to Lightning cable.
Unlock your iPhone and wait for it to be recognized by your computer.
On your Windows computer, open the "Settings" app.
Select "System" and then "Projecting to this PC."
Ensure that "Allow wireless projecting to this PC" is enabled.
On your iPhone, swipe down from the top right corner of the screen to access the Control Center.
Tap on the "Screen Mirroring" option.
Select your Windows computer from the list of available devices.

Your iPhone display should now be mirrored on your Windows computer.

Wireless Mirroring: Using AirPlay

AirPlay, Apple's wireless screen mirroring technology, allows you to stream your iPhone's screen to compatible devices, including some Windows computers. While AirPlay is primarily designed for Apple devices, it can be enabled on Windows using third-party software.

Here's how to mirror your iPhone display wirelessly using AirPlay:

Download and install a third-party AirPlay receiver software on your Windows computer. Some popular options include:
- AirPlay Receiver for Windows
- 5KPlayer
- IINA (for macOS)
Run the software and ensure it is properly configured.
On your iPhone, swipe down from the top right corner of the screen to access the Control Center.
Tap on the "Screen Mirroring" option.
Select the name of your Windows computer from the list of available devices.

Your iPhone display should now be mirrored on your Windows computer.

Using Third-Party Apps: Reflector 3

Reflector 3 is a popular third-party app designed specifically for mirroring iPhone and iPad displays on Windows and macOS computers. It offers advanced features like recording, annotation, and the ability to mirror multiple devices simultaneously.

Here's how to mirror your iPhone display using Reflector 3:

Download and install Reflector 3 on your Windows computer.
Launch the app and ensure it is properly configured.
On your iPhone, swipe down from the top right corner of the screen to access the Control Center.
Tap on the "Screen Mirroring" option.
Select the name of your Windows computer (which should appear as "Reflector 3") from the list of available devices.

Your iPhone display should now be mirrored on your Windows computer using Reflector 3.

Remember that mirroring your iPhone display may consume significant battery power. Ensure your iPhone is plugged in or has sufficient battery life before proceeding. Additionally, the quality of the mirrored display may vary depending on the method used and the network connection.
