It took a while but the Apple TV finally is getting a new Siri remote.

I wish the symbols on the buttons on the remote control were backlit. So at night or in a dark room, you can see what buttons you're pressing.

I wish there was a trade in program for the previous remote

I want one but at $59 it is a little steep.

No instructions on how to access the settings....Brilliant.

Even without a U1 chip, at least add a speaker to make a sound for when it’s lost

That remote looks sweet and just LOVE how they brought back the click wheel!

Honestly the old remote I’ve gotten so use to, and the one I lose all the time is the bedroom one. But I bought up 3 of these to replace all of the Apple TV remotes in the house. Didn’t even hesitate.

Should add support for changing tv input.

The older one is much more nice, a true piece of design.

The click pad looks like the click wheel on the ipod

If more companies do backlit remotes it'll be a better world for customers. Also, if remotes can control other devices a lot more as well.

Got mine today! It’s so much better than the last remote! 👍🏼

[ashwinbhat]

Are those sharp rectangular corners comfortable to hold?

I’ll get the new remote. I already have an Apple TV & I love it.

Thanks for your informative video. Can you kindly tell me if there is a pause feature on the remote? I just received mine today with my Apple TV. Thanks a Bunch.

Just bought my first ever Apple TV 👍, waited so many years to get better I think now it’s time 👍

[GarryBurgess]

They didn't let me know that I needed to update the Apple TV software, and after that I was finally able to pair the new remote. But before that I was pulling out my hair.

I’ll definitely be upgrading my original Apple TV 4K remote!
