Sony finally brings the long-promised support for AirPlay 2, HomeKit, and Dolby Atmos to six of its 2019 and 2018 lineup. As expected, the update is coming to some of its premium models. These include the 2019 A9G, Z9G, X950G, and the X850G, as well as the 2018 A9F and Z9F. The update wasn't expected to come to the 2018 units, so it's a pleasant addition. 

AirPlay 2 gives Apple device owners the ability to stream content directly to their TVs, while the addition of HomeKit will allow you to turn TVs on or off from their Apple gadgets. For some devices, it even allows you to change inputs and access settings. As for Dolby Atmos, the audio format lets the TV beam audio at the ceiling and bounce these back down to give users some form of surround sound.
