Can I use the iPhone as a display or monitor?

I would like to be able to connect an external camera to my iPhone and have the image displayed on the iPhones display.  I don't know of any application out that do this.  My question is really more of is it possible to do this if I write an application for it.
Does the iOS frameworks and tools available for developers provide a way to access the iPhone display to show an image coming from an external device?
Thanks for your help,
TSoles

Hellboy254,
Again I think this is using some wireless connection to use the iPhone as an alternate display.
What I really am attempting to do is generally the same thing that the Camera icon (software) is doing on the iPhone but I want to use an external connected camera to hijack, temporarily, the display.  There must be some communication taking place between the built in camera and the display in the standard Camera software.  Can I use those same principals (frameworks) to display the image from an external camera?
Thanks,
tsoles

  • Can you use the iPhone 6 Plus as a monitor for DSLRs?

    I just got my iPhone 6 Plus and it would be great to use its gorgeous display as a monitor for my Canon 5D mark III when filming on steadicam (the rear screen on the camera is generally not very useful for filming, so one needs a monitor).
    Is there a way to connect the 6 Plus to my 5DIII and have what the camera sees on my iPhone screen? And are there brackets to fix the iPhone onto the flash shoe?

    Nope.  As far I'm aware, the HDMI out from your camera will show content the camera has already taken, not a live view of shots.  It might show live video if you're shooting a video, but I think you want to use the camera screen as the LCD for photographs, right?  You download pictures to your iPhone via the Camera Connection kit and your memory card.  You can't connect a camera via chord to see what the camera sees.  There would be no way for Apple to incorporate software that works with every camera out there.  And there's no standard for using other devices as a monitor for cameras.
    Check with Canon or do a lookup in the App Store for Apps from Canon that are specifically for your 5d MarkIII.

  • I have an Apple MacBook Pro with 2 USB ports and a MiniDisplay Port. I also have an HDTV with a HDMI port. How can I use the TV as a display without any tethering wires between my computer and the TV?

    I have an Apple MacBook Pro with 2 USB ports and a MiniDisplay Port. I also have an HDTV with a HDMI port. How can I use the TV as a display without any tethering wires between my computer and the TV? I have a MiniDisplay Port to VGA adapter, but there are two issues with it: The new display doesn't have a VGA port, and even if it did, I wouldn't want to have my mac constantly attached to the display by a cable. I was looking for a way to use the TV as a display without any wires. Is there some type of bluetooth setup I could use? Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

    As I wrote above, I think you should look into the Apple TV yourself. The best place to find information about what it can and can't do and to ask your own specific questions is probably in the Apple TV forum, here:

    Can i use the iphone in Hong Kong?

    You can't use it in Hong Kong with a local carrier if your phone is carrier locked to your current carrier.  No info in your post to detemine whether that's the case.  You can use if you want to pay high roaming charges.

    It is quite safe to use the higher powered iPad charger for other devices, as they will only use the amount of power required for charging, eventhough higher power is available. The Apple store shows all devices that can be safely charged with the iPad charger, see the link below.

    You can get apps for a Mac (and the iPs device) that allows you to use the iOS device as a webcam.

  • Can I use the iPhone 6 t-mobile version with straight talk?

    Can I use the iPhone 6 t-mobile version with straight talk?

    All,
    I have read and understand most of the post (s) on this: Apple Support Community:
    It looks like the long way around my elbow approach: (piecing together an iPhone 6+ with a Straight Talk AT&T /T Mobile; Compatible Nano SIM Card) may yet work, just a bit gun shy on the $949.00 cost for the iPhone 6+ from Apple.
    I live in Hawaii on the island of Oahu (north shore), and have  an iPhone 4 8gb cdma iPhone which is on Verizon's network rebranded by TFW / Straight Talk for several years. It works fine but I need an iPhone with more storage.
    I have had a talk / chat with both sides Apple & Straight Talk, neither have real answers to support using the iPhone 6+ with Straight Talk as a carrier.
    On the Apple site: " http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/ ". It is clear that Straight Talk has certified their LTE network with iPhone 6/6+ to meet basic standards.
    I / we need all of the successful trail braisers on this community to post what works & what does not work.
    What I plan / have to purchase / buy:
    Direct from Apple:
    1. Contract-free iPhone 6 Plus 128GB Space Gray (GSM) T-Mobile. (pending research to ensure it will work). Apple confirms, without the T Mobile nano sim that this iPhone is unlocked.
    Direct from Straight Talk:
    2. AT&T /T Mobile; Compatible Nano SIM Card. (GSM; on its way)
    Would have purchased a Verizon Nano SIM Card from Straight Talk but they do not seem to have one.
    All support, advice & information is greatly appreciated.
    V/R

  • Can I use the iPhone when is he charging?

    Can I use the iPhone when is he charging?

    Andy, I'd like to know where you got that information, [citation/source needed]
    Whenver you see the plug symbol on the iPhone, it means its running on external power.
    Some datacenters use this method/always-on UPS, (AC power charges the battery bank, datacenter is connected to the other end of the battery) If there is any interruption in mainline power, the system stays up while the generator warms up.
    Do they have any battery degradation issues? Nope.
    Apple designed the iPhone to handle multiple methods of charging and discharging events.
    Remember, when new on the forums, whenever/wherever you post, people are trusting the information you provide, if its inaccurate, out-of-date, etc, you might want to do some research and learning about new technology.

  • Can I use the iPhone 5s case for the iPhone 5?

    Can I use the iPhone 5s case for the iPhone 5?

    Do cases made for iPhone 5 also work with iPhone 5s?
    While iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s have the same shape and size, the camera and LED flash are different. So cases made for iPhone 5 may affect the camera operation on iPhone 5s, and vice versa. When shopping for cases, you should choose one specifically made for the iPhone model you own.

  • Can i use the iphone 5s with Straight Talk?

    Can i use the iphone 5s with Straight Talk (Walmart's plan)?  Straight Talk uses GSM technology....
    Thanks!

    The StraightTalk iPhones are CDMA phones. Not GSM. StraightTalk does not support the use of unlocked iPhones on their pre-paid GSM service.
