The functionality allows users to wirelessly transmit the visual output of an Apple mobile device to a larger display. This enables a device’s screen content, including applications, videos, and presentations, to be viewed on a television, projector, or computer monitor. For example, one might stream a movie from an iPad to a smart television for a more shared viewing experience.
This capability provides enhanced convenience for presentations, entertainment, and accessibility. In a professional setting, it simplifies the sharing of content from a portable device during meetings. For personal use, it facilitates a more immersive viewing experience. The implementation of this mirroring technology has evolved over time, becoming more seamless and integrated within the Apple ecosystem.
