It's the same with LG TVs. The remote app on iOS for my 2018 LG OLED TV does not launch without granting it location access. I don't understand why a TV remote app would ever need location access?

Don't bring up a BLE packet sniffer around a LG soundbar, it's spamming about 10 UUID packets per second. Pretty annoying.

I thought apple didn't allow that.

Yesterday, the app refused to even start up until I updated it to the latest version.
