r/iphone on Reddit: iOS 16 and lightning to hdmi adapter not working. Help
September 18, 2022 -
Since I updated my software to iOS 16 my lightning to hdmi adapter isnt working. It says it needs to download a new firmware but nothing ever gets downloaded. Is anyone else having this problem? I have a place in woods without internet so I watch most of my shows through my tv/iPhone so this is a big problem for me. Is anyone else experiencing this? Anybody have ways to fix??

I had the same issue first time I tried to use mine. I had already disconnected from internet when it gave the download new firmware prompt so nothing ever downloaded. I did find a workaround by turning the phone off and back on again and making sure internet was connected while I plugged it in. Gave it about 5 min and it was ready to go. Hope this helps.

I think it’s time for a Class Action Lawsuit. I know multiple people who have purchased new Apple Lightning adapters and HDMI cables (including myself) thinking this would correct the issue- NO BUENO!! I thought the issue was with my Spectrum TV app since YouTube and other apps worked, so I paid $$ for the Sling TV app and that doesn’t work either. I have spent close to $100 trying to get this issue resolved with buying new HDMI cables and new Apple Lightning adapter. It’s no longer just an annoyance, but a financial issue. I can prove it’s all due to the recent IOS 16 update. All I need to do is borrow my son’s IPhone which is still running 15.7 and it works perfectly with the HDMI cable. I have spoken with Apple Reps and they said they have an open tickle for this. Riiiiight. Some of the comments on this thread are over two months old, so this issue is clearly not being taken seriously by Apple. Imagine all of the people who were told by APPLE the issue was with their HDMI cable and/or Lightning adapter and went out and spent $50 to $100 for new ones. All you have to do is Google “HDMI no longer working after latest Apple update” and you will see multiple comments and complaints with ZERO workarounds. I live in CA, so it should be pretty easy to find an attorney. I’m just beyond frustrated now.

r/iphone on Reddit: HDMI cord won’t work since updating to ios18
September 28, 2024 -
I’ve used the same iPhone 13, same Samsung tv that is 18 years old and same HDMI cable so I can do my workouts using my tv and not a tiny phone screen for the last 18 months. The last two days this has popped up when I plug the cord in. The only thing that has changed is that I updated to iOS 18. Anyone know a way around it or what I need that will work besides a smart tv?

HDMI connector doesn’t work with ios 26.1 Ever since I update my i phone 15 to iOS 26.1, the HDMI adapter accessory no longer works. In most streaming apps I have no sound or no picture or both when connected to my pc obs studio. My brother has the same phone but is still running iOS 18.5. The adapter works fine with his. It is not the cable or adapter or tv that has the issue. Is this a known problem? (It seems to be after searching the net but not seeing solutions) How can I fix it?

I have been using the black magic cam app for over a year with a HDMI to lightning adapter, the app has worked flawlessly and I really like the picture quality. After the last iOS update my phone stopped working for the adapter. I tried to contact Apple and they kept saying it was the apps issue.

Just tried an Apple Lightning to AV adapter. Worked flawlessly on iPhone 13 with iOS 17 and even an old iPad 2 iOS 12. But not at all on my iPhone 14 iOS 18.1.1. An update to 18.2 directly fixed the issue ... Had the same issues...updated to 18.2 from 18.1.1, rebooted the phone 3 times and now it is working again. Thought it was the lightning to hdmi/power adapter so bought a new one.
