This is interesting news since Samsung was the first to announce the availability of these features on its televisions. A few minutes after the news was made public at CES in Las Vegas, other brands followed suit by announcing the arrival of AirPlay 2 and HomeKit to their smart TVs.
In this case, several things must be highlighted and the first of them is that LG Koreans have an essential requirement for the arrival of these options to be fulfilled is that are televisions manufactured this year. So only the models that the company presented this year 2019 will be able to be used with AirPlay 2 and HomeKit.
LG has a large catalog of available products and among them we find smartphones, washing machines, refrigerators and all kinds of household appliances and yesterday they announced on their official Twitter account about the arrival of these options to your televisions during the coming week:
Homekit is releasing in 1 week. Users require IOS 12.4 to do Airplay2 update.

In the list of devices compatible with HomeKit and AirPlay 2 published by Apple this year we find several LG models:
- LG OLED (2019)
- LG NanoCell SM9X series (2019)
- LG NanoCell SM8X series (2019)
- LG UHD UM7X series (2019)
This implementation is expected to begin with the country in charge of announcing its launch, Australia, and continue through the rest of the countries in the coming weeks. For now we do not have recent news about his arrival in our country, so it will be time to keep waiting until they are officially pronounced as they have done in Australia.
