Apple launched the new Apple TV 4K (2021) set-top box with a redesigned Siri Remote. And fortunately for users in Apple’s ecosystem can use their new smart remote with another device. Having said that, the smart remote can be bought separately.
The Siri Remote (2nd generation) brings precise control to your Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD. Its all-new touch-enabled clickpad lets you click titles, swipe through playlists, and use a circular gesture on the outer ring to find just the scene you’re looking for. And with Siri, you can find what you want to watch using just your voice.
