Apple is bringing AirPlay 2 to televisions made by LG, Sony, and Vizio.

Apple Slashes Revenue Forecast Following Weak Sales In China

Earlier this week, Apple made headlines when it was announced that the company’s app store will appear on all of its long-time rival Samsung’s SmartTVs.

Now Apple has announced that AirPlay 2 and HomeKit compatibility will also be coming to televisions made by a number of other manufacturers, including LG, Sony, and Vizio.

The feature will allow you to do things like push a movie or document you’re looking at on your phone to the television and enables multi-room audio. For instance, you could pair your television with other AirPlay-compatible devices such a Sonos or Bang & Olufsen speaker, and have all of the devices playing the same song.
