Hi, I’m wondering how the experience has been for those who have watched streaming media or downloaded owned movies from apps like Netflix or Vudu on their TV from an iPad using a USB-C to HDMI adapter? Is the 4K HDR quality extremely good? Are there still compression artifacts? Do all apps work?
I’m hoping that with the iPhone 15 Pro and it’s new USB-C port, that users will be able to use an Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter to output content via HDMI to any TV or monitor in 4K HDR up to 60Hz.
I know that most apps including Vudu do not allow iPhones to play 4K resolutions due to the limited resolution of the devices themselves. However, with Thunderbolt data transfer speeds and the HDMI adapter, I would hope that Apple would recognize the VALUABLE consumer benefit by enabling apps to output 4K HDR to TVs via these HDMI adapters.
I know that presently iPhones have been able to use the Lightning to Digital AV Adapter to take HDMI to their TV or monitors, but as I understood it, this uses the Airplay standard and is limited to 1080P HD due to the slow speed of Lightning data transfer. I myself tried this a few times, but I was getting blank screens from apps like Netflix and the picture quality on apps that did work were way below 1080P, and highly compressed, looking almost unwatchable in my standards.
Imagine how great it would be if you could hook your iPhone up to your TV, monitor, or projector and use unlimited data to watch any of your owned digital media or streaming subscriptions, in 4K HDR. Airplay as I understand it is limited to 1080P STILL IN 2023…
