AirPlay 2 and HomeKit support will arrive on LG 2019 TVs via a firmware update today (25th July).

It comes a few days earlier than expected. Only on Tuesday did a tweet from LG's Australian Twitter account (as spotted by 9to5Mac) read: "Homekit is releasing in 1 week. Users require iOS 12.4 update to do Airplay2."

The two features were detailed in the 2019 TVs' specification upon launch and scheduled to land ‘mid-year’. They follow the Alexa voice control update, which rolled out in the US in May, and in other markets in June.
