Samsung Electronics says that, beginning today, all 2019 Samsung Smart TVs and select 2018 TV models with a firmware update will feature the all-new Apple TV app in more than 100 countries and offer AirPlay 2 support in 176 countries.
Samsung customers are now able to enjoy Apple TV channels and iTunes movies and TV shows on Samsung Smart TVs, says Won-Jin Lee, executive vice president, Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics.
Fully integrated into Samsung’s Smart TV platform, users can elect the Apple TV app icon to access all of their iTunes movies and TV show purchases and browse more than 100,000 iTunes movies and TV shows to buy or rent, including titles available in 4K HDR. Customers can also subscribe to Apple TV channels within the Apple TV app — paying for only the ones they want — and watch on demand directly in the app.
Samsung Smart TV users will be able to enjoy Apple TV+, Apple’s original video subscription service, in the Apple TV app across the same model lines when the service launches this fall. With AirPlay 2-enabled Samsung Smart TVs, customers can now also play videos and other content from their iPhone, iPad or Mac directly to their Samsung Smart TV.
The Apple TV app will work seamlessly with Samsung’s Smart TV Services, such as Universal Guide, Bixby and Search, to create a consistent experience across Samsung’s platform, according to Lee. For more information on Samsung’s Smart TVs, please visit https://www.samsung.com/tvs/ .
