A new Apple TV 4K is on the way – with the A15 Bionic chip and HDR10+ support – but Apple is also refreshing older Apple TV devices with new software. tvOS 16.1 starts rolling out next week, and it gives Apple's smart assistant a whole new look, 9to5Mac reports.
Using Siri is now a lot closer to the experience of using it on an iPhone or iPad. Just like on iOS/iPadOS, the Siri icon animates when you talk. It's also become smaller, appearing in the bottom corner instead of a bar running the length of the bottom of the screen.
Siri has some new features, too. It can now recognise each user's voice and so load their content accordingly. Ask Siri "What should I watch?" and you'll get recommendations tailored to your profile.
Connect your AirPods to your Apple TV, and you can say "Hey Siri" to enable hands-free controls.
