Will there be a firmware update for the Sony AF9 for Airplay 2 support?

The AG9 would be available in the next 10 weeks according to local dealers in the Netherlands.

@Kuschelmonschter the AG9 will have Airplay support when it comes out for sure! That is a confirmed fact.

I also saw some other non-OLED 4k 2019 Models that already have Airplay support at the dealers.

The Airstreem app was working perfectly - it still does but...

since latest version update of Airstreem the YouTube app won’t coexist. With Airstreem installed YouTube will not play any video streams. Uninstall Airstreem then YouTube works again. What a pain the butt !! I use both apps a lot so this situation is extremely annoying.

The AG9 and AF9 is exactly the same processor and panel wise, its just the design that has changed.

It would be incredibly lazy for Sony not to update this. I would be put off purchasing Sony TVs in the future is this is the case.

AG9 tested by FlatpanelsHD did not include the feature...

Apple's TV app, AirPlay 2, and HomeKit will be added to A9G via a later software update. There is no beta program so we were unable to test the functionality.

It’s the end of January 2020 and no firmware update. My guess is the third quarter of 2026.

I wouldn’t hold my breath about firmware updates for the Master series.

Within 10 weeks 🤣.... My dealer told me within a few days in January 2020 and I fell for it 😓. I suppose it is true what they say: ‘never purchase a product based on the promise of some future firmware update. Wait until it's come out and evaluate how the feature was implemented first.’
