The update appears to being pushed out to recent Sony TVs, reportedly the ones that are compatible with Apple's AirPlay 2 technology. This includes the Sony Z9G series; A9G series; X950G series; and certain X850G models, according to the report. The Apple TV app will not only let users access the new Apple streaming service, but also movies you've purchased through iTunes.
