Afaik all Fire sticks use the HDMI port on the tv for video signal input
And also require a power source to operate
All the FireSticks I'm aware of use the HDMI port for power and have no external power source.
Phones have (1) port for charging/usb/media HDMI
I think about the only phones with HDMI are pretty high end phones
How many movies can you watch via HDMI cable from phone, while charging the phone ? Zero
Well, if you have a phone with an HDMI port, it doesn't use the HDMI port for charging so why would it be zero?
How many can you watch until phone battery is dead ??
Where is your TV located, how long of and HDMI cable do you need for the phone to rest in an accessible safe tlocation in your RV ?
And for a society as obsessed with wireless remote control, as Our American society IS, how many times are you willing to reach for the HDMI cable connected phone to pause the movie, while you go for a cold one, the bathroom, or answer that phone call ?
