Yes! I’ve been in the same boat. AirPlay dropped for me constantly, especially when I tried to mirror live video or anything with movement — it was just out of sync, super annoying. A few months ago, I started digging for alternatives and ended up on this page: How to AirPlay to Firestick from ios. It breaks down a few methods that are actually practical — including apps that don’t require extra hardware like an Apple TV. One I tried from there is the DoCast app (free version has some limitations), and it worked decently for streaming YouTube videos and even photos. There's also a neat section comparing wireless vs. wired options, which helped me realize that sometimes wired is just easier if you want zero lag. Totally worth a read if you're trying to make screen mirroring less painful.
