How to connect your Apple iPhone and iPhone Pro Max to a projector with a HDMI cable

Apple iPhones are more and more powerful and now capable of being used as a media station to run your home theatre. The easiest way to connect an iPhone is with a basic cable adapter to HDMI. For iPhone models 14 and older they use what is called the Lightning connector. iPhone 15 and onwards are using USB-C. Something to look out for when selecting the projector is to make sure it has an audio output (ARC, 3.5mm audio, or SPDIF) or decent inbuilt speakers.
