LG Launches AI-Enhanced webOS Hub 3.0
LG Electronics has launched webOS Hub 3.0, an AI-enhanced iteration of its TV platform aimed at third-party TV brands. The update introduces AI-driven features including Voice Recommendation (powered by ThinQ AI), AI Picture with neural-network super resolution, and AI Sound to improve audio clarity, and leverages upgraded System-on-Chip (SoC) hardware. The platform provides access to OTT services and LG Channels (LG’s FAST offering, cited at ~4,000 channels globally), adds a Gaming Portal, Multiview, Always On Display, and support for Wi‑Fi 6 and Auracast Bluetooth audio. LG says webOS Hub 3.0 expands the OS beyond LG’s own hardware to partner manufacturers, though previous reporting (ChannelNews) has raised questions about webOS data-collection practices.
New Apple TV 4K with Siri AI and Remote
At its Welcome Home event, Apple unveiled a new Apple TV 4K priced at $299.

Users can ask questions like 'Which Apple TV shows won at the Emmy Awards?' and get answers. The redesigned remote now includes a speaker to help locate it if lost. This is the first Apple TV 4K update in four years, following delays due to Siri AI development. Pre-orders start October 13, 2026, with availability on November 13. Users can also create a four-speaker surround sound system with HomePod mini 2. Rivals Google and Amazon have already introduced similar AI-powered suggestions.
