The Korean tech company touted the new capability<\/a> in a press release, saying owners of compatible televisions can access the app and corresponding streaming service via the LG Home Launcher. <\/p>\n

Like previous Apple TV<\/a> app integrations, including select Roku devices<\/a>, LG TV owners are able to subscribe to Apple TV Channels, browse an existing iTunes video library and buy or rent shows through the native app. Apple TV+<\/a> access enables streaming of Apple’s original series and specials. <\/p>\n

While a complete list of supported hardware was not provided, the company notes all 2019 OLED TVs and NanoCell TVs (series SM9X and SM8X) now Apple technologies including Apple TV, AirPlay 2 and HomeKit. LG announced plans to Integrate AirPlay 2 and HomeKit last July<\/a>, and subsequently rolled out the feature as part of a software update<\/a> issued later that month.<\/p>\n

LG plans to bake the Apple TV app into select UHD TVs (series UM7X and UM6X) in February, while both the app and Apple TV+ will be made available on 2018 model year TVs later this year through an over-the-air firmware release.<\/p>\n

Today’s news arrives almost a month after LG at CES said the Apple TV app and Apple TV+ would arrive on 2020 model year smart TVs<\/a>.<\/p>\n
