The Siri remote is in a slightly awkward position too. Now we have a new remote control with the same functionality and 13 buttons a redundant Mute button (holding volume down will achieve the same in almost the same amount of time) and a power on/off button (that still relies solely on HDMI CEC to power on/off your TV, so no change in compatibility with TVs, AVRs etc.). The new remote is, in our opinion, too thick and should have had more rounded edges. Its flat back meant that it dropped elegantly to the table without much sound – the same definitely cannot be said for the new remote control that falls to the table like a rock. The old remote felt amazing and it had impressive battery time for its small size. It was only possible due to the advanced systems that lived under the surface.

Unlike most TV remotes, Apple had fully embraced the new paradigm and designed a combination of a TV operating system and a remote control so simple that only 7 buttons were needed. It was certainly not perfect but in our opinion it was the best remote control for the new TV ecosystem an operating system designed for streaming video and apps. We are not going to complain to lengths about the old remote. It is still fully functional but it did not take much to break it – a short fall from a living room table – and a remote should be able to stand the test of time. As you can see, our old remote has a broken touchpad. Since the remote no longer uses glass, it should be more durable.

The remote still relies on a combination of Bluetooth and Infrared to control Apple TV and your TV screen, and it can still be charged with a Lightning cable. Finally, Apple has added a discreet power on/off button on top.
The Siri voice buttons has been moved to the side and the play button has taken over its space. The touchpad from the old remote has been replaced with a combined click/touchpad.
#New apple tv 2019 update
The most visible update is the new Siri Remote, which has a unibody silver aluminum enclosure that is thicker, longer and slightly narrower, as well as more buttons. It is also equipped with an Ethernet port (gigabit) and built-in WiFi 6 (802.11ax), Thread, and Bluetooth 5.0. Apple refers to it as an HDMI 2.1 port and we will examine it in more detail later.Īlso read: Apple TV 4K (2021) vs. It enables Apple TV 4K to pull audio from the TV screen including its inputs such as Blu-ray players, game consoles etc. The box is equipped with an HDMI port, which for the first time doubles as HDMI eARC / ARC, or (enhanced) Audio Return Channel. It comes with 32GB or 64GB storage – we have both. The box runs cool and you can easily tuck it away in a closed space without concerns.
Inside the small enclosure is the 'A12 Bionic' system chip (up from A10X in the previous one), developed by Apple, and an active fan that is mostly quiet but still triggers a "burp" sound from time to time as it spins up.
