Yes, it’s definitely possible to Mirror iPhone to TCL TV, but it depends on what operating system your TV is using. If it’s running something compatible with AirPlay (some newer models are), then you won’t need anything besides your Wi-Fi connection. You just swipe down from the top right of your iPhone to open the Control Center, tap on Screen Mirroring, and your TV should show up if it supports the feature. If not, you might need to download a third-party app on the TV that can receive a stream from the iPhone. I used a free app I found in the TV’s app store, and it worked fine for showing my photo albums and short clips.

I went through this exact setup a few weeks ago. My TCL didn’t come with built-in support for AirPlay, so I had to install a screen mirroring app directly on the TV. After that, I opened the app and followed the instructions—it created a local streaming point. Then, on my iPhone, I used the browser to connect to the IP address shown on the TV screen. From there, I could stream what I wanted without needing to plug anything in. It wasn’t perfect for high-frame-rate videos like games, but for slideshows and regular video playback, it worked without any noticeable delay.
