doesnt their 'lightning to hdmi' adapter, really a hack with an arm chip with ram in there to transcode the output from the phone into a hdmi signal?

It's basically an airplay receiver with an HDMI output.

It certainly was. It might not be anymore but it worked fairly well so I'm not sure why they would change it.

It still is since Lightning doesn't have the bandwidth for a raw HDMI signal, only a compressed video stream
