Apple and Samsung team up to let iPhones talk to smart TVs

Samsung and Apple have made the shock announcement that they are working together to get videos from your phone and onto your TV. The two long-standing arrivals will allow iPhones to speak with Samsung's smart TVs, ensuring customers can get all of the films and TV that Apple makes available even if they don't have an Apple TV. The iPhone maker's iTunes Movies and TV Shows app is to be introduced on Samsung smart TVs later in 2019, the first time the two companies have cooperated in such a manner in the TV market. Support for Apple's wireless AirPlay 2 connection is also to be introduced, meaning Apple iPhone and iPad users will be able to stream content to their Samsung smart TVs. The two companies have long been rivals in smartphone, tablet and other markets.
