The HTC 10 smartphone, which runs Android, is the first to officially license media streaming technology.
The phone ships with a wide range of media streaming protocols as part of its HTC Connect software feature, including Google’s ChromeCast, Qualcomm’s Miracast, DLNA, and DisplayPort.
AirPlay is one of the options in HTC Connect, which can be accessed quickly with a three-finger swipe. HTC said its AirPlay license allows the 10 to stream audio to AirPlay-connected speakers.
Apple hasn’t said if other Android phone makers plan to offer similar functionality.
