I was wondering if anyone here solved the idea of using an iphone as a desktop, i know its limited (does not need to be) but it is because of marketing...but at some point its useful to work if connecting a hub, keyboard, mouse and TV screen, the problem is all the Apple adapters out there do not allow both a lighting to hdmi and usb.

So i ask, has anyone found a way to connect their iphones-ipads to a TV via HDMI and USB devices (hub-mouse-keyboard-keyboard controler for music etc) at the same time ?

Look forward to hearing from you guys!
 
It’s not currently possible with an iPhone, although I’ve had this idea many times when I was developing jailbreak tweaks.

With an iPad you can do it today. You would still have an iPad interface but you can connect a monitor via USB C and then connect a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard.

Thanks for the comment, will a usb-c to lightning adapter and a usb-c hub (with usb3 and hdmi) work at all?


the adapter

the hub (with hdmi, pd 3.0 and 2x 3.0 USB ports)
