Shifting a screen from an iPhone to a Xiaomi TV offers a lot of possibilities, from watching photos on the big screen to streaming games or presentations. But if you’ve never owned an Apple device, the process can seem complicated — especially when it comes to compatibility between iOS and MIUI TV. In this article, we’ll look at all the current ways of duplication, including wireless protocols, wired adapters and third-party apps.

It's important to understand that not all methods are equally effective. For example, AirPlay only works on new Xiaomi TV models (starting with the Mi TV 5), and the old ones will require a Miracast or adapter. We tested each method on different devices — from the iPhone 11 to the iPhone 15 Pro Max — and highlighted the pros, cons and hidden settings that manufacturers do not advertise.

Method 1: AirPlay – Wireless Duplication on Xiaomi TV with Mi TV 5 and newer

AirPlay is Apple's proprietary protocol for media transfer and screen duplication. Starting with Mi TV 5 (2020), Xiaomi added AirPlay 2 support, allowing you to connect your iPhone without any additional devices. Here's how it works:

1. Connect your TV and iPhone to the same Wi-Fi network. This is a must-have — without a shared network, AirPlay won’t work. If you have a dual-band router (2.4 and 5 GHz), make sure that both devices are connected to the same frequency.
2. On your iPhone, swipe down from the top right corner (or up on models with the Home button) and tap on Screen Duplication (or Screen Mirroring) tile.
3. In the list of available devices, select your Xiaomi TV. If the TV doesn't show up, check your network settings or reboot both devices.
4. The TV will have a connection request — confirm it. In 5-10 seconds, the iPhone screen will be displayed on the TV.

Advantages of AirPlay:

• 🔹 Minimum delays (around 50–100ms) – suitable for gaming and video.
• 🔹 Support for sound (unlike some analogues).
• 🔹 Automatic scaling to TV resolution.

⚠️ Attention: On some firmware MIUI TV AirPlay may not work as well after the update. If the image slows down, try turning off Dynamic refresh rate in your TV settings (Settings) → Display and sound → Additionally).

Method 2: Miracast for older Xiaomi models (without AirPlay)

If you have a Xiaomi TV 4 or older, AirPlay is not supported, and Miracast, the universal wireless screen standard, will help, but the iPhone does not have Miracast built-in support, so you will need a third-party app.

The best apps for Miracast with iPhone:

• 📱 LetsView – free, with sound support, but sometimes cuts quality.
• 📱 ApowerMirror – paid version is more stable, there is a “gaming” mode with smaller lags.
• 📱 Screen Mirroring is a simple interface, but may not work on iOS 17+.

Instructions for setting up Miracast:

1. Install one of the apps on your iPhone.
2. On your TV, turn on Miracast: go to Settings → Connection and Sharing → Wireless display.
3. Launch the app on your iPhone and select your Xiaomi TV from the list.
4. Confirm the connection on the TV.

⚠️ Note: Miracast can be used with app-based delays of up to 500ms, making it unsuitable for dynamic gaming, but suitable for viewing photos or videos.

Method 3: Connecting wired through HDMI-adapter (100% stability)

If you want maximum stability without lags and breaks, wired HDMI is the best choice.

• 🔌 Lightning adapter → HDMI (iPhone-to- 14-i) or USB-C → HDMI (iPhone 15/15 Pro).
• 📺 HDMI-cable (usually with an adapter).

Step-by-step:

1. Connect the adapter to the iPhone.
2. Connect the adapter to the TV through HDMI-cable (use the port) HDMI 1/ARC for better compatibility).
3. On the TV, select the source of the signal: press the Source (or Input) button on the remote and select the appropriate one. HDMI-port.
4. The iPhone screen automatically duplicates on the TV. If the image does not appear, restart the phone.

Advantages of wired connection:

• 🔹 Zero Latency – Ideal for Games and Videos 4K.
• 🔹 Support HDR Dolby Vision (if the adapter and TV support).
• 🔹 It doesn’t depend on the quality of Wi-Fi.

💡

If the TV doesn't recognize the signal through HDMI, try another port or check the resolution settings in iPhone Settings → Screen and Brightness → Screen Resolution. Sometimes it helps to force the resolution to 1080p instead of automatic.

Method 4: Applications for Duplicate (LetsView, ApowerMirror)

If neither AirPlay nor Miracast works, you can use generic duplicate applications, which are streamed over a local network or the Internet, and let's take a look at the two most popular options:

1. LetsView

• 📌 Free, but with advertising.
• 📌 Supports sound and control from the TV (if the mouse is connected).
• 📌 It works on iOS 12.+.

How to set up:

1. Download LetsView on iPhone and TV (via Google Play on MIUI TV).
2. Run the app on both devices and select Screen Mirroring mode.
3. On your iPhone, click Start Mirroring and select the TV from the list.

2. ApowerMirror

• 📌 Paid subscription (from 300) ₽/months, but there is a trial period.
• 📌 Less lags thanks to optimized codec.
• 📌 Supports screen recording directly to the TV.

⚠️ Note: When using applications for duplication is not recommended to connect via mobile Internet (3G/4G/5G). This will lead to huge lags and traffic consumption (up to the end). 1 GB/h. Only use local Wi-Fi.

Typical problems and how to solve them (no sound, no lag, no TV)

Even with the right setup, there can be errors, and let's look at the most common ones and how to fix them:

1.The TV does not find the iPhone (AirPlay/Miracast)

• 🔄 Restart your router – sometimes DHCP-server "forgets" devices.
• 📶 Check that both devices are connected to the same network (not the guest network!).
• 🔧 Update the TV firmware: Settings → On TV. → Updating the system.

2. No sound when dubbing

• 🔊 For AirPlay: check that the iPhone is not enabled mode No sound.
• 🔊 For HDMI: Make sure the cable supports ARC (Audio Return Channel).
• 🔊 In applications (e.g. LetsView), sound can be transmitted separately – turn it on in the app settings.

3. Strong lags or braking

• 📶 If you use Wi-Fi, switch to the 5GHz band (less interference).
• 🎮 For games: Reduce the resolution of duplication in the application settings (e.g., before the 720p).
• 🔌 For wired connection: try another HDMI-cable (cheap may not support high resolution).

💡

If neither of these methods works, check the firewall settings on the router — sometimes it blocks the AirPlay and Miracast protocols as “unknown devices.”

Compatibility: Which Xiaomi TV models support duplication

Not all Xiaomi TVs work equally well with iPhones, but here’s the model compatibility table:

If your model is not in the table, check it on the official Xiaomi website in the section Technical specifications. Pay attention to the version of MIUI TV - AirPlay requires firmware not lower than MIUI TV 3.0.
