Siri Support Is Standout Feature in the new Apple TV

  • 9 years ago
To call the new Apple TV a step up from its predecessor would be an understatement. The look and feel of the whole interface is completely different, Siri's there to sort through content and find specific titles for you, the remote has been redesigned, and for the first time ever you can download apps onto the device. While all of those developments are welcome additions, there's one Apple TV feature that truly makes the viewing experience a lot easier and more convenient. If you’ve missed a piece of dialogue, you can hold down the Siri button on the remote control and ask, “What did he/she say?” Siri will then rewind your TV show or movie by 15 seconds, turning on closed captioning until the show or film has reached the point where you initially asked the question. But Siri’s playback features are compelling and useful enough to make me think voice controls on the TV aren’t just a gimmick.
