iOS 27 HDMI problem: video stops when you lock your iPhone
On iOS 27, many iPhone owners report that video to an external display over HDMI stops once the phone is locked. GSMArena reproduced it with YouTube and Netflix; VLC still works.
What it means for you
If you play video from your iPhone on a TV or video glasses, locking the phone now stops it in many apps.
What to do
For now, keep the screen unlocked and turn down the brightness, or try VLC; update your video apps when fixes arrive.
The details
iOS 27 requires apps to register external display video sessions themselves, which iOS used to do automatically, so apps need an update. There's no fix yet.
