Apple’s AirPlay 2 is coming to more television models. Both Vizio and LG have announced plans to roll out support for AirPlay 2 and HomeKit. These moves will offer more households the option to wirelessly stream entertainment from Apple devices through AirPlay 2 and to offer additional connected home and voice controls with HomeKit.
LG is focusing these updates on its newest TV models. The company began a software update to bring AirPlay 2 and HomeKit to select television models from this year. Certain 2019 models of LG OLED and NanoCell 4K UHD TVs with ThinQ AI capability in the United States will be the first to receive the update. The rest of LG’s 2019 4K UHD television collection will get the updates later this year.
Vizio is taking a more comprehensive approach. It will roll out AirPlay 2 and HomeKit support to SmartCast television models from 2016 forward. The company noted that the broad rollout would take several months to complete.
