> We've yet to see any AirPlay 2 announcements from smaller brands such as TCL,
> Hisense, Panasonic, or Toshiba. But that doesn’t mean we won’t!
>
> AirPlay 2 support will vary across manufacturers in terms of functionality.
> However, at the very least, it will allow users to stream video, audio,
> photos, and more directly from an iPhone, iPad, or Mac to supported smart
> TVs. HomeKit support is also coming to many of these TVs, enabling users to
> control volume, playback, and more using Siri or the Home app on an iPhone,
> iPad, or Mac.
>
> Samsung announced that its latest smart TVs are also getting an exclusive
> iTunes TV and movie app for accessing the storefront.
>
> Apple is widely expected to launch a "Netflix-esque" streaming video service
> later this year, and AirPlay 2 support on leading smart TVs would make it
> easier for users to stream Apple's original content on the big screen without
> an Apple TV. Rumours suggest Apple could introduce the service within the
> first half of 2019.
>
> I’m planning to upgrade my lounge TV at some point this year. So knowing this
> will be very useful. I think it could potentially give those with a vision
> impairment quite a lot of functionality which we currently don’t have access
> too. This is particularly true of those TV’s for which remote control is
> available via an app.

> The news has also dissuaded me from upgrading my fourth generation Apple TV.
