Stream favorite shows or follow workout videos – using your iPhone, no remote needed – with AirPlay, the frequent traveler’s new best friend.
The worst part of traveling isn’t waiting in long security lines at the airport or navigating an unknown city’s public transit. It’s trying to figure out how to use a new hotel’s TV remote. Now you can go remote-free and use your iPhone as a control instead, thanks to a partnership Apple launched Thursday with InterContinental Hotel Group (IHG).
AirPlay, Apple’s inter-device streaming technology, comes to more than 60 IHG properties in the US, Mexico, and Canada, for a private, secure, and — most importantly — remote-free streaming experience on your hotel room’s TV.
After getting my first look at the feature at the InterContinental New York Times Square, I predict that AirPlay in hotel rooms will be a game changer for frequent business travelers who want to personalize their hotel room stay.
