                AirPlay 2 and HomeKit Coming to 4K Roku Devices

   Josh Centers

   Streaming media device maker Roku already includes the Apple TV app,
   but the [1]Roku OS 9.4 update, due later this year, will add AirPlay 2
   and HomeKit support to 'select 4K Roku devices.' AirPlay 2 support will
   let you broadcast audio and video content directly from iOS, iPadOS,
   and macOS devices to Roku devices, and HomeKit support will let you
   control Roku devices from the Home app in iOS.

   The company says that Roku OS 9.4 will start to roll out this month,
   and it should be available on all supported players in the coming
   weeks. However, if you have a Roku TV-enabled set, you may have to wait
   a bit longer, because the company says phased updates will be released
   over the next few months.

   Apple has been expanding the Apple TV ecosystem to other TV platforms
   over the past couple of years, with the [2]Apple TV app appearing on
   several platforms and [3]AirPlay 2 and HomeKit being added to LG,
   Samsung, Sony, and Vizio TVs.
