IPhone and iPad mirroring is never as easy as Android mirroring because iPhones have a lot of restrictions. Although you can find many apps for casting, they work for, rather than to TV. Even for a few apps in the App Store which support TV, they require the usage of Apple TV.

Dec 19, 2017 Jefferson Graham runs down your choices in streaming players from Roku, Amazon, Google and Apple on #TalkingTech. Roku points out that.
Due to these restrictions, Roku started making its mark since you can connect iPad to Roku and mirror it to TV. When you have saved a movie in your mobile device which you want to watch later on in your living room or bedroom with your family, then this is your best choice of app to stream your iPhone to the television.
Aside from that, instead of buying a Wii U or PS4, you can download a game on your iPhone and play it on your TV. Detailed Guide on How to Mirror iPhone/iPad to Roku Given all these reasons why you need to mirror your iPhone or iPad to TV, here we take iPhone as an example and give you a detailed guide to help you connect iPhone to Roku. To begin with, go to “Network” and connect your Roku to the WiFi connection where the iPhone is connected. After that, you need to set up your Roku Play device. Go to “Settings” and then choose “System”. Click “System update” to check whether your device is the latest version.
If not, update it. Once done, go back to “System”, choose “Screen mirroring” and enable its mirroring feature. Right after setting up the Roku Play device, it is now time for you to mirror iPhone to Roku. Go to App Store, download the Roku app and then launch it on your device.
When you open the app, it will automatically display the available devices. Tap your TV to connect and start mirroring. You may stream your videos, images, or music to TV.
And you can choose movies from the app to watch. You and the other members of the family can now enjoy watching your phone’s content on your television.
But make sure your phone and TV are connected to the same network. Issues You May Face With Screen Mirroring Since Roku is a newly-developed technical product in terms of mirroring on television, there are some issues that you may face and surely, some room for improvement. You may experience that a video takes some time to play.
At that time, just wait for it and don’t be panic. You may also find some time lag between the visuals and the audio of the video you are streaming.
There are times when the mirroring function stops in between. In that case, check if your screen’s display is on or off. What’s more, the mirroring sometimes does not start while you stream iPad to Roku.
Just turn it off and repeat the steps given above. If you can’t use Roku to mirror your device to TV, you can try another way – using ApowerMirror. Firstly, download the application on your laptop, connect your iPhone or iPad to the laptop through AirPlay by connecting to the same WiFi and start streaming device’s screen to PC. Secondly, use HDMI cable to connect the laptop to TV and display the laptop screen on TV. Although this way is complicated, it also works effectively.
