Smart Mirror turns your TV into a second screen for your iPhone — and it starts where most mirroring apps stop. WHITEBOARD ON YOUR TV Draw, write and drop in photos on your phone, and the board appears on the TV as you work. It is the fastest way to explain something to a room: a lesson, a plan, a sketch of an idea. Add pages, undo, change colours, and save the board when you are done. LIVE CAMERA ON YOUR TV Point your camera and the picture is on the big screen — for a demonstration, a recipe on the kitchen TV, or showing the room to family on a video call. MIRROR YOUR WHOLE SCREEN Everything on your iPhone, on the TV, with sound. Games, apps, presentations, anything. SEND JUST ONE THING Photos and videos from your library. A web page and the video playing on it. A file from your phone. YouTube, handed to the TV's own app. Or your own IPTV playlist. CONTROL IT FROM YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch app plays, pauses, skips, changes the volume and turns whiteboard pages, so the phone can stay on the table. WORKS WITH Chromecast and Chromecast built-in TVs, Android TV and Google TV, Samsung, LG, Roku, Fire TV, and AirPlay 2 sets including Apple TV. Your iPhone and your TV need to be on the same Wi-Fi. Nothing is uploaded: what you cast travels across your own network, and no account is needed. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends; manage or cancel it any time in your Apple Account settings. A free trial ends when a subscription begins.
