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?
it’s because chromecast devices have in-built apps like yt, spotify, etc whatever you’re streaming so it’s actually not your phone streaming but chromecast itself (or the in-built chromecast in your smarttv) that’s why you can do whatever in the background on your phone while the stream continues
not the same for devices with airplay functionality, except appleTV.
