Siri Remote Control
With Siri, you can quickly search for a movie or TV show across popular services, including content apps such as iTunes and Netflix. All your viewing options are displayed on the screen, so you can see where a movie or show can be found. You’ll also see if it’s available to rent, buy, or watch with a subscription. Dual microphones allow Siri to hear your commands clearly, even if there’s background noise.
You can also ask Siri to show sports scores, control playback, pull up the weather, access settings, and even check stocks. Tell Siri to turn on Enhanced Speech, which boosts dialogue and softens music and sound effects for late night viewing. Or if you can’t understand a line from a show, ask “What did she just say?” and Siri will skip back and temporarily turn on closed captioning, so you can see what you missed.
