I didn’t know that the iPhone supported this, i guess this is only for the 16 Pros and 15 Pros (because 15 and 16 only have USB C 2.0 and older iPhones don’t even have USB-C), but knowing how restricted Apple is with these features i’m actually surprised that this even works.
Sorry for the potato quality, i guess the iPads camera is really bad in low light.
Lighting iPhones can do it also if you have the AV adapter. It’s been a things for awhile.
iPad 10th gen can do this too even tho it has usb 2.0 typec

I tried with my 9th gen and it doesn’t work, but it could also be because I’m adapting the USB-C adapter to lightning, I don’t have any lightning to HDMI adapter.
@Ren
Lightning to hdmi adapter uses video compression and special chip inside of it to decode this video stream to hdmi
Type-C on newer iPads probably is using usb-c alt mode to push DisplayPort signal over bunch of type-c pins
@Kaius
I’m pretty sure you’re correct because I saw the spec for display port for my iPhone 15 pro even on gsmarena yesterday
does it charge while doing that?

If I plug a USB-C charger into the adapter yes it does
wish it put it in some sort of desktop mode. Not sure why apple doesn’t do this. Would be amazing to have.

They do on the M1+ iPads but not on iPhone for some reason even though DeX exists
@Brennan
My guess is if they did it with iPhone then it would mean less laptop or iPad sales. Makes sense but I would love to have the feature on my iPhone.

I was also wondering why this isn’t a thing. I mean, I had a windows phone 10 years ago that did that :D…
I also learned I can plug in my 10 year old usb keyboard via a USB-A to USB-C adapter
Have found it hardly works for me. They did have video out adapters tho even in the 30 pin days
The USB-C port on modern iPhones and iPads is actually pretty full featured. You can plug in USB-C to HDMI adapters, USB-C to network adapters, a USB flash drive… It all seems to work. Plugging an iPhone into wired ethernet is actually pretty funny when you think about it.
LOL Androids do that nearly for a decade now, plus the output image gets adjusted to the aspect ratio of the display. Pretty dumb and useless with having black bars on the output image of iPhone.

Yeah, but you still have an android at the end of the day. Lol.
@Zander
Ya, and I could stick my Windows Phone on a dock and use a monitor, keyboard and mouse. You could do that with Android too. Fun times.
@Zander
Which is definitely a win. Androids benefits don’t just stop with my example, and Apple’s downsides with this. Enjoy your black bars now that you get a taste that has been around for a decade. 
@Jamie
And you decided to make this known why? You’re in the iPhone subreddit mate. If you take one look at Samsung or any other android subreddits you’ll see many issues as well. Your comment is irrelevant and immature.
