At the beginning of the year, TV manufacturer LG promised that it would also be able to support TVs from 2018 with AirPlay 2 & HomeKit by the end of 2020. The update is now being officially rolled out.
AirPlay 2 allows users to stream videos, music, podcasts and more directly from an iPhone, iPad or Mac to a compatible LG Smart TV without the need for an Apple TV. With HomeKit, users can turn the TV on or off, control the volume and much more via the Home app or Siri. These features are also available on select smart TVs from Samsung, Sony and Vizio. Now LG is said to have started to develop the corresponding update (Version 05.30.02) to be rolled out.
