LG gave an update last month before CES about the Apple TV app arriving this year on its recent TVs. While we learned that the 2020 models would include Apple’s TV app when they launch, LG didn’t share a date for when the 2018 and 2019 models will gain support except for “this year.” This evening LG has announced that the Apple TV app is rolling out now to compatible 2019 models in over 80 countries.
LG shared the news in a press release:
LG’s 2019 UM7X and UM6X series TVs will see the same support “later this month.” As for LG’s 2018 TVs, the company isn’t sharing specifics, only saying that the Apple TV app will come to those models “later this year.” Unfortunately, AirPlay 2 and HomeKit support won’t be coming to LG’s 2018 models.
LG’s 2020 TV lineup will land with both AirPlay 2/HomeKit and the Apple TV app, while the 2019 models gained HomeKit and AirPlay 2 last summer and fall.
