Apple TV+ app is coming to LG webOS TVs

[Alex]

LG announced today in its press release that AppleTV+ is coming to LG webOS TVs. In 2020, a new Apple TV app will be released and customers with 2018 and 2019 LG webOS TVs will also be able to download the app:

LG’s award-winning webOS smart TV platform will bring 2020 LG OLED and LG NanoCell TVs a plethora of programming from the constantly-growing number of top global content providers through apps and services such as Disney+, Netflix and CBS All Access. New for 2020, the Apple TV app allows customers to subscribe and watch Apple TV+ and Apple TV channels as well as access their iTunes video library and buy or rent more than 100,000 films and TV shows. Customers with 2018 and 2019 LG TV models will also be able to enjoy the Apple TV app this year.

Do we know when we might see this?  "This year" is a pretty wide open range.

Is there a List of what TV’s will get the Apple TV+ Capability?

I have a Model: 75SK8070PUA

Will this TV get The Apple TV+ Feature?

Thank you,

Can we extend this functionality to TVs manufactured in 2017 ?  My 65" OLED TV was manufactured in Dec 2017 - and wasn't put into use until 2018.   The TVs not that old.

Just saw this post and yes my LG B7 manufactured in Nov. 2017 has the Disney+ app.

The silence from LG WEBOS Administrators on extending this update to LG OLED TVs manufactured in 2017 is deafening.  I can't imagine it is a very big effort (if there is any effort at all) in extending the AppleTV+ application to 2017 models.  If the rationale is to "force" us to buy a newer OLED I believe LG will find this has backfired.  We bought LG OLED for both the great picture AND service.  It feels like LG is letting us down.

@montycs You are not alone in thinking that because of the site name used here, that it is an arm of LG.

Sorry to dissappoint you, but this is ONLY a peer-to-peer help/advice forum for enhusiasts who own and use LG TV's, concentrating on the LG WebOS functionality, update issues, usage issues, possible bug workarounds etc. This site has NO input into LG itself, and NO business conection, and NO lobbying or support request capability.

So, THAT is why there is silence, THIS IS NOT LG - you had best contact your local LG support in your country, and see if you can get any response from your questions on this matter. 

Apologies though, if I have mis-interpreted your post, and you are just venting on here about LG.

Thanks @td47, you are correct. I can tell you that some folks at LG do view these forums on occasion. It would be nice if they jumped in on occasion as well.
