At the end of August, some LG models began to receive an update that gave them access to the Apple video streaming service application, an update that in theory, it would be the first of the two that televisions would receive from this manufacturer that hit the market in 2018.
Unfortunately this will not be the case. Despite the theoretical support to offer support for AirPlay 2 and HomeKit in certain 2018 models, the Korean company ignores the issue stating that this update is not planned, an update expected for next month.
Support documents from LG stated that support would be added to the SK and UK LED-type models and the B8 and Z8 OLED-type models. However, it has been the LG account in the United Kingdom that, to the user's question, has answered that has no plans to offer AirPlay 2 and HomeKit on 2018 models. Only models that the company released in 2019 will be updated, the year in which the company announced support for both Apple technologies, as did Samsung, Sony, and Vizio.
Although this tweet is more than a week old, it is now that the users affected by this decision by LG have begun to make noise and spread their discomfort at the change in the company's criteria. The announced support for AirPlay 2 and HomeKit for 2018 models It was made known through the supporting documents available on the LG website.
Some supporting documents that shortly after they were eliminated, so LG had not really officially confirmed at any time that it would offer support for both Apple technologies in the TV models it had launched throughout 2018. For now, while users continue to express their discomfort, the Korean company LG does not has spoken about it.
