- Does it work with iPhone?
- No. It is made for Android phones with a USB-C port that supports USB host output. iPhones use Lightning or USB-C but do not work with this adapter.
- Do I need an app?
- Yes. The dongle only sends infrared; the phone app supplies the codes and buttons. You will need to install a compatible IR remote app and pick your device brand.
- What is the range?
- About 10 meters, in line of sight. Walls and cabinet doors block the signal, so it behaves like a normal remote.
- Can it control more than one device?
- Yes, through the app. The hardware sends whatever code the app picks, so you can set up a TV, an AC and a DVD player and switch between them.
- Will it fit with a phone case on?
- Often not. The plug is short, so thick cases can stop it seating fully. Remove the case if the adapter feels loose.
