iPhone's unparalleled resolution is a treat to the eyes, but at times one can feel watching a video or a match on TV. Here are few steps that will guide users to connect their iPhone or iPad to a TV.

A hassle-free technique using a simple HDMI cable would do the trick. According to PCMag, even the cheapest of cables will be sufficient to plug in Apple's Digital AV Adapter to one's TV's HDMI port.

The Digital AV Adapter is further divided into two groups, one is for lighting devices and the other is for phones and tablets prior to it. Users can enjoy their favorite TV series or movies by plugging in HDMI cables.

A safer option would be to use Apple TV, a media extender launched by Apple as suggested by Cnet. The Apple TV needs to be set up before connecting it to the same WiFi network to which the user's iPhone or iPad is connected to. Then the Airplay option will be available after swiping the phone's or pad's screen, which will display the option of Apple TV. The user needs to tap on it and the TV will display whatever the device is playing.

The smoothness of the video will depend on the available network speed. A jammed WiFi network would tend to unnecessary halts.

A rather unconventional and risky way would be is to use an Android Stick. This stick can be plugged into the TV, and an app is needed to be installed known as Kodi Media Server App. All unrestricted media files in the device can be played using the AirPlay button as mentioned before.

However, there are certain risks involved in plugging in such a stick. The sticks tend to stall the video or impede the graphics from time to time.The use of wireless Apple TV is the most popular method as it involves no risk. The use of an authentic apple cable should be preferred when users avail for HDMI cable.
