Comment: Companies are damaging their brand by limiting AirPlay 2 TV support

The latest AirPlay 2 TV news is that LG is set to roll out HomeKit and AirPlay 2 support to its 2019 models next week.

That’s great news for owners of the 2019 models; not so much if you bought a 2017 or 2018 one. As many owners of older models have commented, their TVs are almost certainly capable of receiving the update …

Thanks to the short-sighted decision to milk a few people for a few bucks by ignoring perfectly capable 2018 models, you’ve lost a bunch of customers. I love my C8 but i will never buy another LG product. Not supporting HomeKit and AirPlay on still current models is a travesty.

Thanks for not caring for the 2017 & 2018 models owners. Those TVs are totally capable for AirPlay 2 / HomeKit support hardware wise. But I guess those are bought already so why should you care? Never buying from LG again.

Is ridiculous and only a marketing technique that only 2019 TVs will gonna update, bad PR LG when you will learn?

Really regretting my LG OLED purchase. Top of the line TV, distinguishable from other brands only by features and not updated in less than a year. I think this is truly awful service.

Are you enabling airplay for your 2018 models like ALL your other competitors??

Indeed, when LG first announced the policy, a petition was created to try to persuade the company to extend support to older models.
