Unlike the previous generation Firestick, the new Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K (along with Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Cube) does not support native screen mirroring. Meaning, you can not mirror iPhone to Fire Stick, right out of the box. But thankfully, there is a simple workaround. For the unknown, AirPlay is Apple's wireless technology that lets you stream content wirelessly between Apple devices. For example, you can use Airplay to cast iPhone's screen (which acts as a source) to Apple TV (which works as a receiver), obviously both connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Now, even though, Firestick doesn't support Airplay right out of the box, there are a handful of third-party apps that support Google Cast, Miracast, and of course AirPlay. Let's check them out.
