"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.
