AirPlay 2 support on competing manufacturers' TVs is very likely one of the next steps in Apple's preparations for its own Netflix-like streaming service. With the help of the function, it will be much easier for users to get movies and series on the big screen without having to own another device from Apple - especially Apple TV. According to speculation so far, the service should arrive in the middle of this year, probably at WWDC, where Apple Music also made its debut.
