The main difference I know of is that the A90j has the next generation ‘evo’ oled panel (I think it has higher peak brightness). Have a look at HDTVtest on YouTube as I think it’s covered in Vincent’s review on there.

better blacks and higher brightness - but the former is still a cracking display

Just got Sony XR55 A80j from Costco special offer (£1199 inc vat and 5 yr warranty) and it’s superb. Still finding out about it but yes it does Airplay….
