How to share iphone screen to PC _ Mirror screen from iphone 6s
iTools software from ThinkSky is a free download for Windows PCs that requires no special cable to mirror an Apple device's screen to a computer. iTools can use iPad's, iPhone's, or iPod touch's USB charge/sync cable to grab the connected device's screen and show it on your computer. If your computer is already connected to a projector, it's handy to have your device's screen appear on your computer, which will make it appear on the projector screen.
- You don't install an app on your device. The only software to install is on your Mac or PC.
- iTools is 100% freeware with no ads.
- iTools' mirroring is really laggy. Scrolling, zooming, and fast screen movements do not mirror well. Just remember to slow down.
- iTools does not direct your device's sound through your computer. If sound is important, you can always connect speakers to your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch.
- Your device has no idea that it is being mirrored. So apps that will display something different on a second screen do not. That's an advantage when trying to demonstrate an app like PaperPort Notes that typically hides toolbars on a mirrored screen.
- Because you are connected with the charging/sync cable, your device charges as you mirror.
- If you want a longer cable for more mobility, pick up a USB extension cable. You can get one for cheap from Monoprice, and they come in all kinds of lengths.
- You cannot control your device through iTools or through an interactive whiteboard. Only the device's touchscreen works as input.
- ThinkSky, the company that makes iTools, is Chinese. Their website looks dubious, however, I've been running iTools for months and I feel the software is safe. It does not install adware, toolbars, or plugins.
- Surprisingly, iTools' mirroring works with older devices like iPod touch 3rd generation and iPhone 4.
