A TV experience you’ve never experienced
Until now, finding a movie or show to watch was a burden. You had to do all the scrolling, button pushing, searching, and digging. The new Apple TV is designed to take the work out of watching TV. Simply ask Siri to find something for you. Bypass all those confusing buttons with a swipe of your thumb. It’s an experience that makes you feel like you’re interacting directly with the screen, even though it’s on the other side of the room. 

Feel fully immersed in your screen. Even from across the room.
Many of the products we make — iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch — are built around the same profound experience: connecting you directly with what’s on your screen. Simple, natural movements of your finger play a big role in that. But how do you create that same immersive experience with a screen that’s hanging on the wall 10 feet away? The new Apple TV interface solves that fundamental challenge by using Touch and voice to reimagine how you interact with your TV screen.

Touch. The most natural way to navigate.
The glass Touch surface on the new remote was engineered to provide an experience that feels both fluid and precise. What your finger does on the remote is exactly and immediately what it does on your screen. It’s so natural, in fact, that your eyes don’t even need to look down. You never have to hunt for a button to press or have a light on to see.

Voice. The most efficient interaction tool ever.
There’s no easier way to interact with something across the room than using your voice. The Siri Remote lets you do what’s natural — just say what you want to watch. Siri takes you right where you want to go without having to click through multiple menus to get there.

A clean design that brings your content to life
Screens throughout the new Apple TV have been designed to let the content be the hero. And the use of parallax makes movie and TV show posters visually come alive while clearly showing you where you are on the screen. You’ll feel like you’re interacting directly with your TV screen, not separated from it.

Quickly bounce between apps
Double-click the Home button on the remote and you’ll see the apps you’ve used most recently. So you can quickly switch from, say, SHOWTIME to MLB, or from an iTunes movie to the Rayman Adventures game you were playing, without having to go all the way back to the Home screen.

Customize the Home screen
Move your most-used apps to the top row of the Home screen for faster access. For example, add Netflix to your mix, and when the icon is selected, shortcuts to Netflix content appear above. Just click a title to start watching.

New cinematic screen savers
When you’re not actively using Apple TV, it relaxes by displaying aerial HD videos of stunning locations around the world. Shot specifically for Apple TV, these dreamy landscapes drift across your TV, turning your big screen into a mesmerizing work of art.

The fastest way to find what you’re looking for? Ask Siri.
Siri takes the work out of watching TV. Simply say what movie or show you want to watch, and Siri finds it for you. It’s that easy. Dual microphones allow Siri to hear your commands clearly, even if there’s background noise. Tell Siri you want to watch a Hulu show. Or ask it to find Nemo. Siri knows exactly what you’re talking about. The days of wading through page after page of choices to track down your favorite show — or using a remote to type in every letter of a movie title — are thankfully over.

Siri does the digging. So you don’t have to.
Searching for a movie used to take almost as long as actually watching the movie. 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 (if you don’t already have one).

Refine your search. Siri is smart enough to keep up.
With Siri, you can make follow-up commands during your search until you find exactly what you want. For example, tell Siri you want to see science fiction movies released in the ’70s. Siri will find them. Then narrow your search further by saying “Only the good ones.” Siri uses Rotten Tomatoes reviews to present only the critically acclaimed ones. And because you’re talking just as you normally would, it all feels completely natural.

Siri does more than just search
Sure, Siri can find movies and TV shows. But that’s just the beginning. Ask Siri to show you sports scores, control playback, pull up the weather, access your settings, and even check your stocks. Tell Siri to Reduce Loud Sounds, which boosts dialogue and softens music and sound effects, so you don’t wake up the whole house when you’re watching a late-night movie. Or if you can’t understand a line from a show, ask “What did he just say?” Siri will skip back and temporarily turn on closed captioning, so you can see what you missed.
