New Apple TV and Siri Remote

Monday, May 24, 2021

In April, Apple announced a new Apple TV 4K. This announcement was somewhat overshadowed by the new iMac and iPad. However, the new Apple TV has some meaningful improvements that bring excitement.

The Apple TV is a streaming media player, which means it lets you watch videos, listen to music, play games, and use other types of apps from the Internet on your TV. The biggest upgrade is the all-new Siri remote control. Silver in color instead of the original's black, it features a directional pad at the top (with gesture support), a Siri toggle on the side, and a power button for controlling your TV. The new controls should address some of the complaints users had with the original remote, with its larger touchpad and lack of directional cues. You can even buy the remote standalone if you have an original Apple TV 4K or Apple TV HD for $59.
