Owners petition LG & Sony to bring Airplay 2, HomeKit to 2016-2018 TVs
On average, consumers replace their TV every 6-7 years, according to estimates. For how long are the TV platforms in those “Smart TVs” getting updates? It varies but in many cases the answer to that question is, sadly, not even one year.
So when Apple and partners at CES 2019 announced that Airplay 2 and HomeKit will get implemented in TVs it was disappointing but not surprising to see that support would be limited to the latest and some current TVs. Samsung will update its 2018 models but it should be noted that many of these TVs will continue to be sold for many months into 2019. Only Vizio will update TV models that are no longer sold.
Makes a change for us UK people to have something cheaper then the USI wish this was over in the US too. $8 is the cheapest I can see.
cant this be "fixed" with a VPN ?I wish this was over in the US too. $8 is the cheapest I can see.
Sadly iTunes purchases don't always transfer across different stores. I've got a lot that I bought when I lived in the UK that are available in the US store but some licensing issue stops them from being in my account. I bought the Batman movie bundle (Batman Begins, Dark Knight, Dark Knight Rises) and only the 2nd and 3rd ones are available. Apple were kind enough to let me download them all again (just once though) but they're not available in the cloud or in 4K which isn't great really. And they wonder why people pirate things...cant this be "fixed" with a VPN ?
