I picked up the new Apple TV today and have mostly been pretty enthused about it (except for the lack of Remote app and Bluetooth support), although I went to go get either another Siri Remote or some sort of controller for games and noticed they had the Remote Loops at the Apple Store. I picked one up and noticed that the wording was a bit odd:
I get the Siri Remote mention (since that's what the replacements are officially branded as), but the Apple TV Remote is nowhere to be found (it basically connects with a Lightning Connector-shaped metal post with spikes that almost look like the old 30-pin Dock Connector cables—no way to attach it to the old aluminum Apple TV Remote). When purchasing, I asked the Specialist who helped me and she thought it was odd, too (also verified the old $20 remotes were a no-go). Perhaps they were developing a "lite" version of the remote without Siri capabilities?
