Very expensive and short lived

I tried two fake cables and none of them worked. One worked a few days and stopped working. The other never worked. I connect my iPad Air 2 to my TV. I bit the bullet and paid more for an Apple product. The first worked for about 14 months - just over a year warranty. I bought a second one to replace a broken block and it only lasted a few months. I just went through Revain's support window so I'll have to contact Apple. I have since borrowed a cheap adapter and it works perfectly.

Pros
  • Wow
Cons
  • Secret

This device saves me hundreds of dollars a month with Comcast Xfinity. We all know how inflated and out of control Comcast's pricing has gotten because after switching to unlimited data with Verizon, I can use my iPhone with this adapter to meet my entertainment needs and save about $160 a month. UPDATE 5 months after purchase: Still working perfectly. No problems at all. If you are willing to wait 24 to 48 hours, you can watch almost everything from Chanel/Network through their respectiveโ€ฆ

Pros
  • A Dream Come True
Cons
  • Some Cons

Blown out after 3 uses

Adapter worked fine 3 times and then died. Traces of carbon on the connector pins indicate arcing due to a poor fit between my phone and the adapter. Since I have a new iPhone 8 and there is no moisture on my side, this suggests a manufacturing defect. I used the product exactly as intended. It's a shame to spend money on it.

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • boring packaging

Works great for a few months, then stops working. I bought a second one because I thought that because of what I did, the first one stopped working. Didn't last as long as the first one, even with extra care to be very gentle on it. It's great when it works, but if I have to buy a new one in 2-3 months Apple will have to lower the price. You would understand that with all the negative feedback about this particular issue, Apple would come up with a solution. Or at least not charging $40 a piece

Pros
  • Useful not only for its intended purpose
Cons
  • I have no particular complaints about it, everything is fine

Don't waste money.

It comes in Apple packaging and is Apple branded and looks like a genuine Apple product but is junk. on one of the 4 iPhones in the house. I've even tried all four of my cases and the connection is still poor. The Lightning Man seems to be too short. I tried it on 3 different iPhone 6S and iPhone 7 and they all had the same problem.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Has defects

Criterion and NFL will not work with it at all

I don't usually write reviews but I purchased this product based on the product description and reviews and it does not meet my needs. I don't have internet at home, but I have an iPhone 6s and figured I could stream on an unlimited data plan. I was dying to watch the Criterion channel app on my TV from my phone, and the app mirrored my iPhone perfectly until I clicked play movie. I received a message saying "Mirroring not supported" as shown in the attached screenshot. Then I tried to watchโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Simply plug the Lightning Digital AV Adapter into your device's Lightning port and then to your TV or projector with an HDMI cable (sold separately).
Cons
  • Big and chunky

Use this instead of the cheaper imitation!

I initially went for a cheaper fake and may as well light the money I paid for it. Then I got this device (Apple OEM brand) which worked great. TIP: Use it to connect your iPhone or iPad to your hotel TV. Get a ten-foot HDMI cable that connects the adapter device to your hotel's HDMI input, and the Lightning connector on it then connects to your iPhone or iPad. Then change the "Input Select" on the Hotel TV to match the HDMI input number you are using and the TV will project what you call onโ€ฆ

Pros
  • The Lightning Digital AV Adapter supports mirroring your device's screen content, including apps, presentations, websites, slideshows and more, to a TV, display, projector or other compatible display in up to 1080p HD.
Cons
  • I'll write later

Should have! Everything is played on TV!

Works great and lets you watch anything from your iPhone on any HDMI TV! Some people here say they can't watch streaming apps (Netflix, Hulu, YouTube or just about any app that streams video content) for some reason, but that's just not true! On any TV with an HDMI port, which is insanely rare, even if you own or use a TV without an HDMI port, you can watch 100% of what you can watch on your iPhone on TV on this device. I even watch DIRECTV through the DIRECTV app on any TV. This is a mustโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Requires an HDMI cable (sold separately) to connect to a TV or projector. Supports both video and audio output.
Cons
  • No power
