IOS 18.1.1 Digital AV Adaptor Issues (Lightning to HDMI)

Hi All,

I have experienced problems following the installation of IOS 18.1.1. I Zwift using my Iphone XR and project to a monitor using an apple lightning adapter, I have very rarely had any issues with this until I installed IOS 18.1.1 as now the signal does not leave my phone to project onto the monitor (not just on Zwift - it's the same on the home screen & any other app's). The set up is completely unchanged and works fine using my son's Iphone (using an earlier version of IOS). I have tried restarting the phone numerous time and done a network refresh and have run out of ideas... has anyone else experienced this?

I can still use Zwift on my phone but it's far from ideal using the small monitor on my phone... especially with my diminishing eyesight!).

Any assistance would be welcomed.....

iPhone XR, iOS 18

I called Apple support yesterday and was on the phone for over 45 minutes, and still all that was done is a diagnostics on my phone as it is hooked to my lightning adaptor. It had to go from support, to tech help, and now to service help. Sent the results of the test to them and have not heard back. Def it is the 18.1.1 !! Apple needs to fix this and give us a clean update to do to fix this!! I will keep you all updated as to what they come up with.

Just tried an Apple Lightning to AV adapter. Worked flawlessly on iPhone 13 with iOS 17 and even an old iPad 2 iOS 12. But not at all on my iPhone 14 iOS 18.1.1. An update to 18.2 directly fixed the issue

I also have tried the network reset a few times and still doesn't work for me :(

I tried 3 non-apple adapters. They worked for a short time or not at all. I finally bought an apple adapter at Walmart and it has worked for at least 3 years.

Do you have an apple adapter? My phone was fine..it was my iPad that didn’t work after iOS update. With the Network reset, it works…mind you….I had to wait a few minutes before trying to hook up to tv. The first time I tried it didn’t work.

my Iphone SE was experiencing the same issues as other were speaking to after the 18.1.1 IOS update. Mainly use phone for Zwift and it was giving me the too much power used, accessory not valid, all things that worked before.

Will try the Reset suggested by other and can let folks know. Looks like it worked for others to access a TV with HDMI to phone

Tried this on a new iPad Mini A17 (2024) running iPadOS 18.1.1 which has a problem with HDMI audio to TV. This procedure makes no difference.

I have USB C to HDMI adapter which works on iPad Pro (2022) running OS 17.

Notes: USB C to headphone adapter works fine, so it's not the USB port that's problematic. HDMI video is OK, just sound does not work.

I get pop-up messages to update iPad Pro to OS 18.1.1, but definitely will not do that until the HDMI audio issue is resolved.

Had the same issues...updated to 18.2 from 18.1.1, rebooted the phone 3 times and now it is working again.

Thought it was the lightning to hdmi/power adapter so bought a new one. At least I have a spare now.

I use my phone to play darts on line, using it to display on a bigger screen. Frustrating... but at least it is working again.

I’m having the same issue. iPhone 14. Used Lightning to HDMI flawlessly for the past couple of years. Now since the 18.1.1 update I get the “using too much power” error

My apple phone updated last night and my digital adapter still works, but when my iPad was updated (last week) adapter won’t work 😞 with iOS 18.1.1.

@dawnfromns, is your digital adapter an Apple one or a 3rd party one ?

Dec 4, 2024 1:05 PM in response to SeaDoubleYou

Yes, it’s an apple adapter.
