Life is short already, life becomes much shorter when you become concerned about whether a remote is ugly or not.

The new remote takes all the best bits of previous apple remotes and puts them all back together in one excellent package , I love it ! I’ve bought 4 , for each atv in my house . The current one looks good but is abysmal to use
The only glaring omission is lack of a U1 chip in case you lose the thing , but that’s no big deal tbh

Maybe if Apple makes gaming controllers. For the regular remote, not too likely methinks. Third party skins might be an option.
Nah I’m happy to pay $60 to rid me of the agony that is the current Siri remote. As much as I hate it, I still need it for the home and Siri buttons. Can’t wait to start using this new one.

Lol they need to add a screen first to have bezels. Would have to get rid of the buttons then. And might as well watch video on that screen instead of on your tv.
Shoot did we just reinvent the iPod touch?

You sure you have that lecture pointed in the right direcIon? 😀 Seems like it should be aimed at the people who sold us a beautiful remote that failed in both Form and Function rather than the consumers who are spending another $60 for a slightly improved but still majorly flawed replacement.
Seriously though, I’m not slamming the product. Its just that Apple often learns from its mistakes so I think there is a legitimate complaint that, after 6 years of a “Style over Substance” remote, then the replacement would focus more on what it does rather than how it looks.
It's just a remote. An inanimate object. To be obsessed over whether a remote is ugly or not is not healthy. Life is about living. Put yourself back into it, instead of worrying about a remote. By me saying "yourself" I am not implying you, but those that get upset over such small things.
