“On October 2, 2014, the US Patent & Trademark Office published a patent application from Apple that finally reveals an Apple TV user interface that could be custom fit specifically for your particular iDevice or Mac display size,” Jack Purcher reports for Patently Apple.
“In 2012 we noted in a patent report that Apple hinted that Siri could be coming to iTunes. Apple notes in this patent filing that using your iPhone with the new Apple TV GUI could take advantage of speech which translates to using Siri,” Purcher reports. “That would be very cool for searches and so forth. We’ve also noted in the past that companies like LG are now designing future smartphones with dual display so that users will be able to better enjoy Mobile TV services.”
Purcher reports, “If this is a future trend for the industry, then Apple’s latest Apple TV related invention is step one in getting Apple TV onto mobile devices for future mobile TV services.”
