Hopefully, we’ll always be able to include a link to the how-to instructions so you can also do it yourself.
One huge advantage that Apple has over many other electronics, especially when it comes to television, is AirPlay compatibility. Any iOS device, like an iPhone or iPad, will discover any AirPlay-compatible device, like Apple TV, printers, and speakers and let them communicate with each other without needing a cable connection.
