Harman Kardon & Samsung, is it over?

Hey guys, I noticed that 100% of Samsung 2020 soundbars lineup are missing Harman Kardon name and logo for the first time in a while. Does that mean that HK didn’t get involved in developing the 2020 models? Samsung is referring to a team at its California facility to be the one behind the development of the new models! any clue about what is going on? from AVForums https://ift.tt/3jYhxH2

I have 2 LG OLED TVs. I think I bought one in 2017, and the other I bought this year. Is there a reason why they don’t have the same apps?
