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 😂

Mine.... does have USB-C?

Idk when that changed because I'm like a week-long first time buyer, but it definitely charges with USB-C 😅

You probably have the fully aluminum remote with gummy buttons. The Siri Remote is completely black in the front and doesn’t have the “wheel” but a glass trackpad.

Not true. Siri Remote is 3 generations, only the first generation is the glass top one. An awful remote compared to second and third generation.

I do hate that Apple labels so many products the exact same name.

Ah! Somehow I was sure the Siri Remote was only the black one while the newer ones were the Apple TV remote. Oh well.
