Apple TV Siri Remote (3rd Generation)

The Apple TV Siri Remote (3rd Generation) is an updated and improved remote control designed for Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD. It features a sleek aluminum body, an intuitive touch-enabled clickpad, and USB-C charging. I tested it for responsiveness, ease of use, and overall functionality in daily streaming and navigation.Pros:✅ Smooth and precise touch-enabled clickpad for intuitive navigation✅ USB-C charging replaces the previous Lightning port for added convenience✅ Sleek, premium aluminum design feels durable and comfortable to hold✅ Dedicated Siri button for easy voice control✅ Improved button layout makes navigation easier compared to previous modelsCons:❌ No Find My support, making it easy to misplace❌ Still lacks backlighting, which would improve usability in the dark❌ No motion sensors for gaming, unlike the first-gen Siri RemotePerformance and Usability:This third-generation Siri Remote is a significant improvement over older models, with a more intuitive touchpad that allows for precise scrolling and swiping. The button layout is straightforward, and the USB-C charging port makes it future-proof as Apple moves away from Lightning cables. While the lack of Find My integration is disappointing, the build quality and functionality make it a pleasure to use.Comparison:Compared to the previous (2nd-gen) Siri Remote, this model is nearly identical but switches from Lightning to USB-C charging. It remains a huge upgrade over the 1st-gen Siri Remote, which had a tricky glass touchpad and a less user-friendly design.Who Is This For?:Ideal for Apple TV users who want a refined, responsive remote with voice control and a premium design. A great replacement for those upgrading from older Apple TV remotes.Conclusion:The Apple TV Siri Remote (3rd Gen) is a well-designed, responsive, and premium-feeling remote that enhances the Apple TV experience. While Find My support and backlighting would make it even better, it’s still the best Apple TV remote yet.

I love this report! I accident broke my other one and this one has come in handy. Since purchasing it I have only charged it once. It can connect to your Iphone when you lose it and will make a sounds when you’re by it for help. I loved how sleek ot looks and how everything can be a touch or push of the buttons.

Works as it should - simple youtube video helps you connect to apple tv device

Love this remote, so much better than the previous generation black remote. No more issues with rewinding since there are physical clicking buttons.

I bought this for my older Apple TV after seeing how much better it is on my new one. A very worthwhile upgrade.

Function: Amazing, Everything you would expect from an apple product. It comes with an "AirTag" like tracker but with no speaker.Compatibility: Pairing w/ an 1080P apple tv is excellent and i bet its the same for the newer,4k apple tv's.One gripe i have with it is that when you use it with older TCL roku tv's the remote will turn the apple tv on and then turn on the TV using HDMI CEC but when you turn it off it wont turn the tv off. Ive heard it works on other Tv's and projectors but mine doesn't. I just use alexa to turn it off anywayDisclaimer: THIS IS FOR 1080P APPLE TV'S AND LATER. It wont work with the older models as the dont use bluetooth to connect.Ease of use: This remote is super easy to use. It has a touch pad like the older siri remotes but it is baked into the "Dpad" which is a great feature.Value: It is pricey dont get me wrong but you will like every second of using it and its just like an iphone level of quality.Size: Smaller than other remotes but still a remote size. But with the tracker it is the best remote.

This is a must. The original remote was difficult to use. This actually has better features.

This replacement remote for my Gen 2 Apple TV absolutely DOES NOT WORK!!!The original one that came with it worked for year or so, and suddenly would no longer take a charge.I loved it when it worked...UNTIL IT DIDN'T!I recently bought a replacement Apple Remote from Amazon which said it will work w/ Apple 2nd generation - but it does NOT!I tried everything suggested on AI & on youtube TV to try and successfully "mate them,"...nothing workedWill not acknowledge the TV unit in any way, or even show via led light that it will accept a charge.Now I have 2 dead Apple TV remotes that look like new, but are inert bricks, and we must use the frustrating iPhone remote.($58 wasted on the replacement - I just missed my "return window" on Amazon while traveling overseas....AIYEEEEEEEEE!!!)APPLE TV is the worst!!!
