Some apps don’t allow mirroring (Netflix ok with HDMI mirroring last time I used it 2 years back but some others nope)
Some apps don’t allow mirroring via AirPlay (Netflix says nah)
Some apps don’t allow or support AirPlay handoff (Netflix says nah use the app on the TV and cast instead, but Paramount for example hands off and plays in TV native player)
Even on macOS some apps refuse to show if the screen is mirrored without HDCP link.
Thing is with the max or plus sized phones, if you’re sat at a distance to the TV screen; your phone if you hold it up is probably a larger display from your perspective anyway. But not ideal when sharing the screen.
So we have 2 solutions in this house; one is the Apple TV box and we have that logged in to the apps. The other is MacBook Air for on the go. And granted neither of those are as nice as a portable USB-C display for an iPhone. But since I needed the MacBook for coding I now have it on hand
