What do you need?

Step 1: Check your TV's inputs
Start by checking the inputs on your non-smart TV. Look for an HDMI port or AV inputs (usually colored red, yellow, and white).
Step 2: Determine the cable or adapter you need
Depending on your TV's inputs and the available ports on your iPhone, you will need to choose the right cable or adapter:
- If your iPhone has a Lightning port: Use a Lightning to HDMI adapter for HDMI inputs, or a Lightning to AV adapter for AV inputs.
- If your iPhone has a USB-C port: Use a USB-C to HDMI adapter for HDMI inputs, or a USB-C to AV adapter for AV inputs.
Step 3: Connect the cable or adapter
Connect one end of the cable or adapter to your iPhone and the other end to the appropriate port on your non-smart TV. If using AV inputs, make sure to match the colors of the RCA cables to the corresponding inputs on your TV.
Step 4: Switch your TV's input
Using your TV's remote control, switch the input to the one where you connected your iPhone. Look for the HDMI input or AV input option.
Step 5: Set up your iPhone's display
Once the connection is established, your iPhone's screen should appear on your non-smart TV. Depending on the cable or adapter you are using, you may need to adjust the display settings on your iPhone. Go to "Settings," then "Display & Brightness," and select the appropriate options for external display.
