New Apple TV Ships With Redesigned Siri Remote, Also Sold Separately for $59

[x-evil-x]

That price point is insanity. They needed to price this at $99. The remote is a much needed improvement, but I can see the Siri button getting hit endlessly where its at.

Don’t buy it. Go buy a cheaper device. The 4K appletvs are already 200$ nothing new here.

What siri button?

I’m hoping these have passthrough audio. Can I dream? Thats all I want. Everything else is just right. Time to sell my two 4K appletvs

Instant buy for me. Love that new remote. And that Ted Lasso trailer got me hyped (though the trailer itself had a lackluster edit)

THANK YOU BABY JESUS!!!! <3 <3 <3

If I get a new 4K, is there a way to transfer apps and settings from my current 4K?

 

[xserret]

YES !
(simply put)

With the one hoem screen option on yes for apps but you have to adjust the setting on your own

I know it only needs to be charged a few times a year but I would love if it had wireless charging. I naturally place my remote down on my charging pad already!

This is literally the best tech news all year

I have three Apple TVs, two remotes were shattered. I'm glad they replaced the fragile touchpad.

 

[nburwell]

Sold! Going to buy one to replace our family room ATV 4K remote. We'll keep the "old" 4K remote as backup in case our little one breaks one of the remotes in use.

Far and away the best announcement of the day.

 

[jayducharme]

For me, this was the most exciting announcement. Although I'm comfortable with using my iPhone as a remote, it'll be nice to have a decent physical one. It also looked like there was a small drawer on the side, like a SIM tray. Perhaps it's for a button cell? I'd rather that than another rechargeable unit.

EDIT: Nope, that was the Siri button. The remote is rechargeable.

The new ATV is ok, but I want that remote! Would have been nice though if it had a built in air tag or something that made sound when pinged. I assume if it had that feature, they would have mentioned it. In any case, this new remote design is worlds better.

 

[Sakurambo-kun]

Will it finally support HLG and VP9?

 

[DaveWil]

Does the remote support the "Find my" searching. It would be nice when you lose the remote.

 

[HiRez]

Do I see a mute button? Hallelujah!

I know, most exciting thing about for me too. Drove me nuts before and I always wished I could remap the Siri button to be mute. Also TV power button is nice to have.

 

[thisisnotmyname]

no built in airtag? I'll replace all my Apple TVs day one if they have that.

 

[HiRez]

Does the remote support the "Find my" searching. It would be nice when you lose the remote.

Pretty sure they would have said that if the answer is yes, would be a big feature, so that's disappointing.

 

[zombitronic]

No Find My built into the remote? Missed opportunity.

 

[The Banker]

Would it be able to control TV functions other than on/off and mute? Can't find it on the website. Might be a nice replacement remote just for the TV.

How would you? 99% sure you won’t be able to. Volume mute and power button is all

 

[TechRemarker]

Can we

Why wonder when you can just read the article you are commenting on..."The new remote is also compatible with the previous-generation Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD."

 

[Wkquick]

Can the Remote change input? Would be nice if I can swap from gaming console and Apple TV.
