Have an Apple TV or AirPlay 2 compatible device? It's easy peasy Roku streamers and Roku TVs work with Apple AirPlay now too. Note that Roku and smart TVs require AirPlay 2 on your Apple devices, which is available with iOS 12.3 or later and MacOS Mojave 10.14.5 or later. Amazon's newest Fire TV models also support AirPlay, but Fire TV sticks do not. On the TV side you'll need a compatible Roku TV or streamer, an Apple TV streamer or a 2019 or newer smart TV from LG, Samsung, Sony or Vizio. The good news is that more smart TVs than ever, as well as Roku and Apple TV streaming devices, can make it happen.Īny iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch running iOS 4.2 or newer will have AirPlay built-in, so even if you have an Apple device that's several years old, it most likely supports and works with AirPlay. The only catch is that your TV needs a way to work with AirPlay, Apple's system for screen mirroring. “With Roku OS 9.4 now available on streaming players, we are adding all-new ways to navigate and control content-rich experiences on Roku devices,” said Ilya Asnis, senior VP of Roku OS, as well as “ensuring Roku devices provide a great entertainment experience for customers, regardless of what other technology products they prefer in their homes and particularly with the addition of Apple AirPlay and HomeKit.Ever want to get a video clip of photos from your phone to the big TV screen? If you have an iPhone, or an iPad tablet or Mac computer, it's incredibly easy. On third-party Roku TVs (modelsAxxxx, Cxxxx, CxxGB and 7xxxx), support for Apple AirPlay 2 and HomeKit is expected to roll out in phases with Roku OS 9.4 in the coming months. Some users reported that they’ve already received the Roku OS 9.4 update in the past few days.
A key sticking point in the deal talks: Roku wants to continue to sell HBO as a channel, while WarnerMedia wants HBO Max to be a discrete app in the same way Roku distributes Netflix, Hulu, Disney Plus and other services.Īpple’s HomeKit, meanwhile, lets customers control their Roku device with their voice using the Home app and Siri on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch or HomePod.Īccording to Roku, AirPlay 2 is supported on the following models: Roku Ultra (4800x, 4670x, 4661x, 4662x, 4660x, 4640x) Roku Premiere (4630x, 4620x, 3920x) Roku Streaming Stick Plus (3811x, 3810x) Roku Streambar (9102x) and Roku Smart Soundbar (9101x, 9100x). There are a couple of other workaround to watch HBO Max on Rokus (as well as Amazon’s Fire TV) but, for now, there’s still no native app for the Roku platform.
