Is anyone's Apple TV 4k (2021) having issues with the Siri remote after the tvOS 15 update?
Whenever I finish watching a movie or tv show in the Apple TV app, the Siri remote has a delay in sending a command to the ATV4K. I've tried repairing the remote, a basic reset and a full system restore reset, and still the same remote issue occurs. Is this a known an known issue with the tvOS 15?
 
Probably just more sloppy coding for the updates to tvOS 15 and the new remote. I’ve got the new 2021 remote and use it with my ATV 4K 2017. After I updated the ATV 4K 2017 to tvOS the remote wouldn't work at all for a few minutes. Eventually it started working again. I think after tvOS updated to 15 there was a separate update sent to the remote. The remote works now, but occasionally there are strange momentary glitches like the volume getting stuck on high speed increase or decrease when I only do a single quick press of the button. Sometimes the Power button only turns off the TV and leaves the ATV 4K 2017 on. Fortunately these are rare occurrences, but they didn't happen before tvOS 15 or the latest remote update (assuming the remote gets its own updates separate from the tvOS update).

BTW, I would avoid doing complete resets on devices. Those rarely fix the issues and then take forever to go through and setup all the setting again. For a remote it might not be that much of an ordeal, but a full reset of the ATV 4K would be a major PITA. A restart often helps, but a full reset is usually a major waste of time.
