Compatibility notes
- Sony's support article states that all Google TV models support Apple AirPlay 2 and HomeKit (W8K and X74K/X75K after a software update), that 2020 Android TV series (A9/A9S, Z8H, A8H, X95H, X90H, X85H, X80H) support both out of the box, and that 2018-2019 series (Z9F, A9F, Z9G, A9G, X95G, X85G 55-85 in.) gained them via a software update (sony.ca article 00206864). HomeKit and AirPlay 2 for the CES 2020 lineup shipped in 2020-04 (whattowatch.com, 2020-04-20). The 2023 BRAVIA XR line (A95L, A80L, X95L, X93L, X90L) was announced with AirPlay 2 and HomeKit (appleinsider.com, 2023-03-01). Sony's web pages blocked direct fetches during this research; the model lists come from the search-engine rendering of the Sony support article.
