Casting your iPhone to your TV is actually fairly simple, but there are a few things you need.
an iPhone (obviously)
an AirPlay 2-enabled smart TV (the full list can be found here.)
OR
an Apple TV (if you don't have an Airplay 2 enabled smart TV)
From there, it's pretty simple.
If you want to cast a video to your TV, first you need to play the video on your iPhone. Then tap the screen to open up the controls in your iPhone video player.

After tapping that icon, you'll be presented with a list of compatible devices in your network. Select your Apple TV or smart TV from that list. A passcode may appear on your TV screen. If so, input that passcode into the prompt that appears on your iPhone.

The selected photo or video should appear on your TV screen. Just use your iPhone as a remote and swipe through any photos or videos you want to appear on your TV.
Let's say you don't want to just stream a particular video or photo library to your TV, but you want to wirelessly mirror the whole iPhone screen. That's right, you want to see iOS on your television set.
It's possible!

When the list of devices opens, tap the one you want to cast to. Input any passcode if you're prompted and then that's it! You should see exactly what's on your iPhone screen mirrored to your TV.
