I'm kinda excited for the fact that USB-C on iPhones means we can output video from it much easier now. At a hotel with a TV but no AirPlay? Easy!

PSA do not plug your iPhone into anything you don’t own (aside from power for charging).
If something you don’t own (eg. hotel TV) asks you to trust device, abort. Bring an old Apple TV to hotel if you want to AirPlay.

Even when using a dongle w/lightning, there were compression artifacts and a 70+ ms delay. The latter wasn’t as big as a deal for watching movies or TV shows, but a 70ms delay is notable if you’re controlling realtime visuals.
