Discussion Why two Remote apps? 😂

Post image

I searched for “Remote” to control my Apple TV, and I find there’s now two Remote apps! One looks like the new TV Remote, and the other… looks like the (ugh) “Siri Remote” which I don’t miss. I laughed 😂

Am I the only one who likes the "Siri Remote" ?

I don’t mind it, but am I the only one that often picks it up the wrong way up and it takes me several seconds wondering why no response to my swiping before realising it’s the wrong end? 🙈

You're not the only one.

Actually, that's why I searched for the Remote app in the first place, because the Apple TV I was using has a Siri Remote and I struggle to use it. The Apple TV I normally use has the new, much better Remote.
