Siri has a range of functions on the device, ranging from TV show\/movie\/actor\/topic search capabilities to features like a vocal rewind option that allows users to do things like ask &#8220;What did she say?&#8221; to jump back 15 seconds and temporarily turn on subtitles.<\/p>\n<p>Siri can open apps and games, respond to typical commands for information about sports scores, movie times, weather, and more, and Siri can answer questions about movies and TV shows. &#8220;Who directed this movie?&#8221; and &#8220;Who stars in this movie?&#8221; are just a couple of examples of the kinds of queries Siri can respond to. Siri can even answer complex topic-based requests, like &#8220;Find comedies from the 80s starring Chevy Chase&#8221; or &#8220;Find movies for kids from the 90s.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.macrumors.com\/article-new\/2013\/12\/appletvsiricommands.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"382\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-464858\"\/><br \/>Award recipients will be honored at the Technology &amp; Engineering Emmy Awards at the National Association of Broadcasters on Sunday, April 8, 2018 in Las Vegas, Nevada.<\/p>\n<p>Apple plans to introduce a new fifth-generation Apple TV at its September iPhone-centric event, believed to be taking place on the 12th of the month.
