Let’s face it, AirPlay is pretty awesome, and one of the features that helps make iPhones some of the best phones around. AirPlay makes the process of screen sharing between an iPhone and a Mac, or other Apple device, incredibly easy. Unfortunately, sharing your iPhone screen with a Windows PC isn’t quite as easy, but that doesn’t mean it’s hard. The only caveat is that your iPhone must support AirPlay. While Windows has its own Phone Link app for streamlined mirroring with Android devices, the app isn’t compatible with iPhones. Because of this, you’ll need to download a third party app. Don’t worry though, there are loads to choose from and many are free.  We’ll be using LonelyScreen, which can be downloaded as a free trial and seemingly used on a trial basis forever. If you want to support the developers, however, you have the option to purchase a subscription for $14.95 / £12 a year. Without further ado, here’s how to mirror an iPhone’s screen on PC.
