The Apple TV app and Apple Music are now available in over 100 countries and regions via LG's webOS Hub, an upgraded version of its webOS solution for third-party partners.

Owners of webOS-enabled TVs will benefit from this expanded list of content and life-enriching features. Additionally, the latest OLED TVs and UHD TVs powered by webOS Hub support AirPlay and HomeKit, allowing users to experience the enhanced usability and convenience these advanced TVs provide.

"With the Apple TV app, Apple Music, AirPlay and HomeKit all coming to the webOS Hub ecosystem, LG is constantly refining and expanding its webOS smart TV platform while enhancing its accessibility so that more consumers can benefit from the most convenient user experience," LG said in a statement on Friday.

Apple TV+ is a streaming service that provides access to award-winning Apple Originals, including television shows, documentaries, and feature films. It is accessed via the webOS Hub Home Screen's dedicated Apple TV app. Users can also subscribe to popular third-party streaming subscription services on the Apple TV app, as well as explore over 100,000 films and shows to buy or rent.

Apple Music offers a vast library of over 100 million songs, albums, and 30,000 expertly-curated playlists, as well as music videos, live radio, and other features. Apple Music via webOS Hub comes with millions of songs with time-synced lyrics to make listening even more enjoyable.

With AirPlay support, compatible TV users can also stream movies, music, games and photos to their smart TV right from their iPhone, iPad or Mac. WebOS Hub-powered TVs are also Apple Home-enabled, giving users control of their TV in the Apple Home app and Siri using Apple HomeKit technology.

AirPlay and HomeKit are only available on OLED TVs and UHD TVs with webOS Hub 2.0, LG noted.
