Apple showed off its new and improved Apple TV yesterday and there are still a few of the old problems, like not being able to get everything you want all the time, having to learn how to talk to Siri and having to buy the wrist band that attaches it to your body.
While the new features may have some new cord cutters jumping, those familiar with the product don’t seem all that impressed.
Here are some Twitter thoughts on the new features and whether it will or will never really take over your living room.
Apple just showed an Apple TV Siri command “what did she say?” that skips the video back 15 seconds – real human language talk pretty

I asked Siri, “Why do we need set-top boxes?” “I don’t know,” she replied. http://t.co/rUoIWPsvKC — Nicholas Thompson (@nxthompson) September 10, 2015
I was thinking of moving to Australia but then I got worried my AppleTV wouldn’t sync. #CandidlyNicole

Perhaps this bears repeating: Apple TV is Apple’s Kindle.

Like, I cannot figure out why Apple TV would have 32GB as the minimum and the freaking iPhone still has 16GB. That’s madness.
