LG may have stopped manufacturing smartphones, but it's still not completely unrelated to the business. In fact, reports from last week suggested that the company is in talks with Apple to sell iPhones in its stores. However, Samsung wants to have its phones sold in LG stores too.

On 5 April, LG officially announced that it would pull itself out of the smartphone business after years of declining sales. The company has decided not to make Android smartphones anymore but will continue to provide support for existing devices. Today, the news has come claiming that the Korean tech company is in talks with Apple about selling iPhone in its stores.

Looks like Google recently confirmed that they will be shutting down the Google Play Movies & TV app on 15 June 2021 and instead be pushing existing customers to their YouTube apps in order to access their existing movie purchases. But that’s not all, 9to5Google also mentioned that the app will not be accessible on Roku, as well as other smart TV brands such as LG, Samsung, Vizio, and potentially more.

So it has finally happened, previous rumour news about LG shutting down its smartphone division is getting closer to reality. It was reported by a reputable South Korean media outlet due to the company's poor revenue and profit in the smartphone industry.
