Apple’s music service also offers access to lyrics in real time.
webOS Hub is compatible with AirPlay allowing you to stream movies, music, photos and games from iPhone, iPad and Mac. You can also control your TV with the Apple Home app and Siri, taking advantage of HomeKit technology. Support for AirPlay and HomeKit is however limited to OLED and 4K TVs with webOS Hub 2.0 (the latter was updated in October last year).
In addition to Apple TV+, webOS Hub already offered access to Netflix, Disney+ and Prime Video. LG is one of Apple’s first partners in this area, with support for apps and/or services from 2018 TV models. Older LG TVs can be installed with Apple TV+ which gives access only to the streaming service’s catalogue.
