New Apple Remote Coming or Low Stock?

[supermum]

I went to three stores today (different companies including Best Buy) and they all said that the Apple Remotes are out of stock and there are 0 on order or are unable to order them right now. One employee told me that they always order more and this typically only happens when the item has been discontinued for another model. The only reason I went to a B&M is because Amazon has been out of them for awhile now.

So.... is a new remote coming... or is Apple just behind demand?

No, they were just updated last year with the new aluminum look.
