In the market for an iPhone? Here's a breakdown of all the currently shipping iPhones from Apple.
AirPlay 2 and TV App Now Available on Samsung Smart TVs
With the launch of iOS 12.3, both AirPlay 2 and the new Apple TV app are available on compatible Smart TVs, Samsung announced today.
All 2019 Samsung Smart TVs and select 2018 TV models with a firmware update will be able to access Apple TV channels and iTunes movies and TV shows through the TV app and will support AirPlay 2. Samsung says that the TV app offers content in more than 100 countries, while AirPlay 2 is available in 176 countries.
On compatible Samsung TVs with the Smart TV platform, users are able to select the Apple TV app icon to access their Apple content. With the Channels feature in the Apple TV app, Samsung users can subscribe to services like HBO, Showtime, Starz, and more, and watch content from those services directly in the Apple TV app.
Samsung users will also have access to more than 100,000 TV shows and movies to buy or rent from iTunes, including content that's available in 4K HDR.
All iTunes content and other content from an iPhone, iPad, or Mac can also be AirPlayed right to a Samsung TV for the first time, making it easier to get content from Apple devices to the TV. Samsung TVs compatible with AirPlay 2 and the TV app are listed below:
Samsung is the only TV manufacturer that's getting the TV app at the current time, but other smart TVs are gaining AirPlay 2 support. It's likely we'll be hearing about AirPlay 2 compatibility from Vizio, LG, and Sony now that iOS 12.3 with AirPlay 2 support and the new Apple TV app has officially launched.
Other TV sets are also expected to integrate with HomeKit, allowing users to control them via Siri commands and through the Home app, but this is not a feature that is coming to Samsung TVs.

Hmmm....
I wonder when the firmware update will drop. I have a 2018 model on the list, but no firmware updates are available at the moment.

I have a 75" 2019 Samsung Q90R (stellar TV BTW 110% recommend it) and the Apple TV app loaded fine from the store and is working great. I did not need to update the firmware. I'm assuming I will need to update firmware to add Airplay 2 native support. There is no current update available for the TV. My Q90R is currently on version 1065.

why on earth it's not available for 2017 QLED range? it is available for 2018 and 2019 but not 2017??
QLED is flagship, premium range, there is no reason for them not to support 2017 models..
