Can I use the screen mirroring function with an Apple device?

The Screen mirroring function is one method to display a mobile device's screen on the TV to view photos, videos, or websites. The function uses Miracast® technology to display the screen of a compatible device on the TV without a wireless router.

Apple® iPad®, iPhone® mobile digital devices, iPod® portable players, and Mac® computers don't support the Screen mirroring feature that uses Miracast technology.
