LG has announced that it will add support for Apple’s TV app to its webOS smart TV’s. This means that owners of LG smart TV models from 2018, 2019 and 2020 will access Apple TV+ without using an Apple TV or other streaming accessory.

The Apple TV app was available from launch day for Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, and recent Samsung TVs. The app is pre-installed in newer iPhone, iPad, and on devices running macOS Catalina or later. The Apple TV+ the service is $4.99/£4.99 per month after a seven-day free trial. But if you buy selected Apple devices, you get 12 months free.
