The timeline to add the features to LG smart TV is set to be by October of 2020, with models SK and UK for LEDs and B8 to Z8 models for OLED units.

LG’s ‘no support’ tweet caused several complaints on 2018 LG TV owners. The new announcement promotes the Super UHD and 2018 OLED TVs and how it has Apple TV, which coincides with Apple rolling out the Apple TV app.

AirPlay 2 is a feature that streams content from Apple devices to TV and speakers, while HomeKit allows for controlling smart home appliances via Apple devices.
