Apple To Bring Movie Ticket Purchasing To Siri With Upcoming iOS 6.1 Update

Apple’s upcoming release of iOS 6.1 will include a new feature for Siri: the ability to purchase movie tickets. The feature works via Fandango. To buy movie tickets, a user simply needs to ask their iOS device to buy tickets for a certain movie.

When a user asks for movie tickets for a certain movie, the applicable showtimes and theater information will be shown. Then, a user can click the buy movie tickets button and they will be routed to finish their purchase via the Fandango app from the App Store. If the user does not have Fandango installed, Siri provides a button to download the Fandango app.

Apple says that the feature is currently exclusive to users in the U.S.
