Last month at CES 2020, LG announced that its forthcoming smart TVs for the year would launch toting the Apple TV app. Now, we have news that many of LG's 2019 TVs are today receiving the app via a firmware update, with select 2018 TVs due to get it 'later this year'.

Compatibility with the Apple TV app will allow owners to directly access the recently launched Apple TV+ subscription video streaming service, as well as the iTunes video library from which they can buy or rent over 100,000 movies and TV shows.

LG’s 2019 OLED TVs (B9, C9, E9 and W9 4K series and Z9 8K series) and NanoCell TVs (series SM9X and SM8X) have received the update first, with the UM7X and UM6X ranges due to follow next month.
