iOS 6.1 Update – One of the BEST new features

iOS 6.1 Update – One of the BEST new features

Siri is now able to help users buy movie tickets. 

 

While this may not be the most innovative feature Siri now has, it is certainly something that has been anticipated. The functionality is powered by Fandango and is activated by normally spoken English commands to be able purchase movie tickets at a certain theater and time.

Some Example commands could be:

"Three tickets to see Wreck-it Ralph,” 

or

“Two tickets to that new disney movie.”


or even.. "Siri - two tickets to the new Disney Star Wars movie in my area." 😉

 

 

After the command has been given users will be shown the selected movie and session details, which when further prompted, will either launch the Fandango app automatically, or send users to the App Store to download & install the app before completing the purchase.

The feature is not yet available in all theaters, and at present only in the US. 

 

Furthermore..

 

When tickets are obtainable users will see a small movie ticket icon.

On another note, Apple has increase the size of their "Report a Problem" link within the Maps App.  Passbook App gets some tweaks that shows the date and location where a pass is valid, while also displaying the pass for  longer periods. Music controls have also have also been revamped.
