"Hello, how can I assist you today?"

These are the famous words from Seri that we can expect to hear from the new operating system powering Apple TV. This information is breaking news that has not been officially realeased yet. However, when looking through the new iOS 7.1 operating system there is new code that gives this new feature away.

There is a new entry in the UIDeviceFamily array which simply lists what Apple devices the feature is compatible with. For Siri, this has previously always been represented with a "1" and a "2," Apple's numerical designations for its iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad device families, respectively. Now there's a "3" as well, which means Apple TV compatibility.

This data doesn't include any details on how one will actually get voice into Apple TV in order to use Siri. If Siri were incorporated into the Apple TV, you'd likely need extra hardware to use it, as the Apple TV remote doesn't have a microphone. It could end up being possible to talk to Siri on your Apple TV through your iPhone or iPad, however.
