Sony launches the Apple TV app on select smart TVs

Sony Electronics says customers can now access the Apple TV app on select Sony smart TVs to enjoy Apple TV+, Apple TV channels, new and popular movies, and personalized and curated recommendations. The Apple TV app will begin rolling out today in the U.S. on Sony’s X900H series via a software update.

Mike Fasulo, president and chief operating officer, Sony Electronics North America, says Sony’s smart TVs provide users with easy access to a range of content and services. With Sony’s family of X1 processors, TRILUMINOS  Display and immersive sound features, customers can experience content just as the creator intended with the Apple TV app, he adds. 

Sony’s smart TV users can browse the Apple TV app to buy or rent more than 100,000 movies and TV shows, including titles available in 4K HDR and with Dolby Atmos, as well as enjoy personalized and curated recommendations and access their library of movie and TV show purchases from Apple. 

Select Sony TVs also support AirPlay 2 and HomeKit. With AirPlay 2, customers can effortlessly play videos and other content from their iPhone, iPad or Mac directly to their smart TV. HomeKit allows customers to easily and securely control Sony’s smart TVs using the Home app or by asking Siri on their Apple devices.

The Apple TV app will launch on select 2018 models and most 2019 and 2020 models by the end of the year.
