LG TVs will also be compatible with AirPlay 2

During this week, CES is held, the largest consumer technology fair in Las Vegas, a fair where the main novelties that will come from the main manufacturers are presented. Samsung announced last Sunday which your 2019, and 2018 TVs via firmware update, would be AirPlay 2 compatible.

A day later, it was the Korean company LG, the other major television manufacturer on the market, who announced that the new models launched on the market will be compatible with AirPlay 2, However and unlike Samsung, it has not informed if the models launched in 2018 will be compatible with if it confirmed Samsung.

But in addition, they will also be compatible with HomeKit, which will allow us to control the different connected smart devices in our home through Siri commands. What we will not find in the new 2019 LG models is the iTunes Movies application that yes It will also offer us both in the 2018 models and in those it will launch throughout 2019.

AirPlay 2 compatibility with TVs from LG and Samsung, the world's two largest TV manufacturers, show how Apple wants to expand to other markets and users, as confirmed by Phil Schiller in the tweet in which he confirmed the compatibility of Samsung TVs with AirPlay and iTunes Movies.

But also, it is one more step to reach a greater number of people through its next streaming video service, a service that according to some rumors, could hit the market during the first quarter of the year, something that knowing Apple is unlikely.

The launch of AirPlay 2 on the new LG and Samsung models, can be a serious blow to Apple TV sales, a device that may be left out of the market, since it will not be necessary to send the content of our iPhone, iPad or Mac to our television, one of the main functions that it offers us, if not the main one, since the compatibility of games is still very small today.
