Apple AirPlay now available in select hotels across North America; Now stream seamlessly even as a guest
20.04.2024 - 19:08 / tech.hindustantimes.com
Apple has announced the launch of AirPlay in select hotel rooms across North America, enabling guests to seamlessly stream content from their Apple devices to compatible LG TVs. This long-awaited feature was initially unveiled at WWDC 2023 but faced delays until now, coinciding with the release of collaborative playlists for Apple Music earlier this year.
According to a recent blog post by Apple, users can easily connect their iPhones or iPads to the hotel's Wi-Fi network and the designated LG TV by scanning a unique QR code displayed on the screen. Once connected, guests can effortlessly share a variety of content directly onto the larger screen in their hotel room.

"Users can automatically connect to the compatible LG hotel TV in their guest room and the hotel's Wi-Fi network by scanning a unique QR code on the screen. Once connected, guests can share almost anything on the big screen in their hotel room directly from their iPhone or iPad," said Apple.
Similar to Google's Chromecast protocol, AirPlay allows wireless transmission of content from Apple devices to supported screens, providing a convenient entertainment option for travellers. Currently, this feature is exclusively available at IHG Hotels & Resorts properties, including Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, Hotel Indigo, Candlewood Suites, and InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, spanning over 60 locations across North America.

The setup process is straightforward, with a single QR code facilitating connection to both the TV and the hotel's Wi-Fi network. Apple assures users of privacy and security, emphasising that all connections to the TV are automatically erased upon checkout.

The rollout of AirPlay in hotel rooms marks the fulfilment of Apple's promise made at WWDC 2023, albeit later than expected. As this feature becomes increasingly accessible, one can hope for its expansion to more countries and hotel brands in the future, potentially integrating other streaming standards like Chromecast and Miracast. For now, interested parties can find a comprehensive list of supported hotels on the IHG website.

Returnal: Fallen Asteria And Art Of Returnal Pre-Orders Are Now Available
Housemarque got us all excited on Monday when it teased something regarding Returnal to mark the game's third anniversary would be dropping 24 hours later. That left us wanting for a sequel, or at the very least some DLC for what remains one of the best PS5 exclusives to date. Unfortunately, we're not getting either of those things, at least not yet. On the bright side, Housemarque has announced a graphic novel- Returnal: Fallen Asteria, as well as a Returnal artbook, both of which are available to pre-order now.

Apple removes these AI image generator apps from App Store- Know about the new rules here
Apple is finally taking some strict action on apps that claim to use AI technology to generate nude images of people who have not given their consent. Apple has removed at least three AI nude image generator apps who offered services like face swaps or ‘undressing' where AI was used to remove clothes in images of people. These deepfake apps gained popularity through Instagram ads. While Meta was quick to take down the ads redirecting users to download such apps, Apple took a while to respond. It was only after a report by 404 Media that Apple took steps.
