AirPlay 2 enables users to stream videos, music, podcasts, and more directly from an iPhone, iPad, or Mac to a Roku-connected TV, with no Apple TV box necessary. And with HomeKit support, users can control the TV's power and and more using the Home app and Siri on the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, or HomePod.





The software update began rolling out earlier this month for some users and should be available on all supported Roku devices within the coming days.<div class="linkback">Tags: HomeKit (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/homekit/), Roku (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/roku/), AirPlay 2 (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/airplay-2/)</div>
