To connect an iPhone to a non-Apple TV, use an HDMI adapter and cable. Plug the adapter into your iPhone's Lightning port and connect the HDMI cable from the adapter to the TV. Alternatively, use a streaming device like Chromecast: install the Google Home app, follow the setup instructions, and use the Cast feature. Both methods will mirror your iPhone’s screen onto the TV.
