LG has announced in a press release that the Apple TV app and Apple TV+ are now available on compatible 2019 smart TVs.

At CES, LG announced its 2020 models would include Apple’s TV offerings, and that the company would also bring them to compatible 2019 and 2018 models. With today’s announcement, owners of 2019 models can enjoy Apple’s programming without needing an Apple TV device.

According to the press release, the app is “easily accessed from the LG Home Launcher, the Apple TV app gives LG TV owners the ability to subscribe to and watch Apple TV+, Apple’s new video subscription service that features popular Apple Originals such as ‘The Morning Show,’ ‘See,’ ‘Servant’ and ‘Little America.’

“With the Apple TV app, LG TV owners can also subscribe to Apple TV channels — direct subscriptions to premium video services available both online and offline, ad-free and on demand — and access their iTunes video library and buy or rent over 100,000 movies and TV shows. A quick click of the LG Magic Remote is all it takes to get started.”

LG’s announcement is a welcome addition to the Apple TV ecosystem. Until now, Samsung was the only major TV manufacturer to natively support Apple’s apps. LG sees Apple support as a way to add value and provide the best possible experience to their customers.

“LG continues to offer the best home entertainment experience through technological innovations that support the delivery of high quality viewing and user convenience,” said Park Hyoung-sei, president of the LG Home Entertainment Company. “By bringing the Apple TV app and Apple TV+ to even more TV models, we are once again demonstrating our determination to meet consumers’ needs and add value to our products.”
