It is fairly OK in terms of the compatibility across Apple products - as always for the ecosystem. However, the way it works is totally poor - when the apps is closed (either by user or somehow killed by iOS) the airplay connection drops. In opposite, content played by chromecast seems to sustain individually, regardless of the apps status.

Even I am using iPhone and have an Apple computer at home, a chromecast hardware is installed and more frequently used than Airplay.

Do anyone else experience similar as me?

    Airplay for me works better than chromecast. It connects faster and more reliably to my tv and the subtitles actually work

          The only problematic thing i have had with airplay is samsung tv’s built in ones. It just keeps dropping but since i use it with apple tv 4k, it almost works like wired connection. Stablest screen mirroring experience i have ever had compared to anything.

      If you have a device that supports it. Which in my experience, is rare. same for apps.
