Customer Ratings & Reviews

Purchased a refurb appleTV on another platform, initial experience was awful the remote just didn't seem quite right. Once we purchased a replacement remote and connected it, wow what a difference. The remote works amazing and really made appleTV worth the investment. Sadly by buying the new remote, I negated any savings I got on buying the unit second hand.

This replacement Apple TV remote works like the original. I did not have to do anything, just turn on my TV and start using the remote. Not one glitch.

The Apple Siri Remote (3rd Generation) brings a refreshing touch to the Apple TV experience—it's simple, responsive, and genuinely intuitive. Right out of the box, this remote works like a charm, whether you’re happily clicking through menus or gliding smoothly with the touch-sensitive trackpad. The satisfying tactile feedback and refined navigation make everything feel more natural and user-friendly than ever. No matter if you enjoy precise clicks or fluid swipes, this remote impressively delivers with zero lag or frustration, enhancing your viewing experience. One of the standout features that we absolutely appreciate is Siri integration, which makes finding content easier and more fun! Instead of laboring over search queries or flipping through apps one by one, we love simply holding the button and saying, “Show me action movies” or “Skip ahead 10 minutes.” Siri is quick and responsive, adding a delightful layer of convenience that truly makes streaming seamless. Whether you’re hunting for a show, adjusting the volume, or controlling smart home devices, the voice commands work like a dream. While the Siri Remote (3rd Gen) is a fantastic upgrade overall, we understand that its price might seem a bit high—unless you happen to catch it on sale or as an open-box find at Best Buy. If you can score it for a lower price, it’s absolutely worth every penny! It elevates the Apple TV experience into something sleek and frustration-free, making it an essential addition for any Apple TV user wishing to boost their setup.

Perfect add on to the Apple TV box, easy to use long, long storage battery after charging like it

I purchased the Siri Remote 3rd gen to replace my previous second gen remote, which I found to be too small and light—it was constantly getting lost! This new remote is a significant improvement. It feels more sturdy and comfortable to use in my hand, making it much harder to misplace. The functionality is excellent, especially the touch-enabled clickpad for easy navigation and the ability to use Siri for voice control. While it is on the expensive side for a remote, the enhanced usability and build quality have made it worth the purchase for me.

I bought the remote to have a second remote for the same Apple TV Gen2 streaming device. The Apple Rep at the store told me you could pair two remotes to the same unit - WRONG. When you pair a new remote, it de-pairs the original paired remote. I was able to use the remote for my prior generation Apple TV streamer which it works much better than the first generation remote.

This remote is amazing! Finally merging all the needs for Apple and tv together using the Apple TV. I hate all other remotes!!

After getting a remotel like this with my last Apple TV purchase, I've been slowly swapping the old remotes with this version. I find the build quality to be very good. My young(ish) children use the remote often and have yet to break one. The side button for voice control is also very convenient. The best thing about the controller is that it has a "find" function from within the remote control functionality of your iPhone. This saves you from having to buy a separate AirTag/sleeve to put the remote in. Regardless we put the remote in a silicone case to make it more grippy for the kids, as well as making it a little harder to slide in the couch cushions. Yes, it's pricy at roughly half the cost of the Apple TV, but that's really it's only negative. If you've got the cash and you want a remote that will last, buy this for your Apple TV.

This remote is Apple and works perfectly with the Apple TV system - could use a backlight for the controls and real buttons instead of the touch pad at the top. Rumors have it that they are coming out with a new Apple TV next year. Hopefully, they address these problems.

Connected seamlessly to my Apple TV and is working smoothly and wonderfully.

Love the scroll disc and ease of use. Nice weight compared with older models and like the ear of picking it up. Way better than the flat older models.

Works as advertised. Easy to pair with the Apple TV. Executes commands without a problem.

5-Star Review: Excellent Remote! The Siri Remote is a huge upgrade and makes navigating my Apple TV so much easier. The touchpad is smooth and responsive, and the buttons have a nice, solid feel. I really like the dedicated Siri button—it’s super convenient for searching shows, adjusting settings, or even checking the weather without typing. The remote feels sturdy yet lightweight, and the design fits perfectly in the hand. The battery life is impressive too—I barely need to recharge it. Overall, it’s a sleek, reliable, and very user-friendly remote that makes the whole Apple TV experience even better. Highly recommend!

I bought this as a replacement for my worn and half-working Apple TV remote. Set-up was a breeze! I just unboxed it near my Apple TV and set-up was automatic! Beautiful it also arrived almost fully charged.

Another solid improvement from the older, but slimmer remote model. Honestly the prior AppleTV remotes were too small and easily misplaced. This one is solidly built as I would expect and paired easily with my AppleTV. We did add a 3rd party silicone case that gives this remote a little added protection and aids finding it. The rechargeable battery in this remote is long lasting. My only minor knock is that Apple did not provide a charge meter so one knows how much charge is left or needed.

I’m so glad the Apple Remote comes in USB-C. I can now phase out lightning cables completely. Works well with my Apple TV.

Remote was ver easy to use very durable I also like the on and off button Voice promp is awsome

Exceptional remote easy to use no batteries required just plug in to your phone charger when you get a notification to charge my loves it had to buy a replacement for the one that got misplaced in the trash unfortunately when to my Best Buy store to get a replacement no hassle at all sales person gave excellent service like always no matter what product you’re looking for love Best Buy

“The third-generation Siri Remote in silver is elegant, comfortable, and extremely precise. It has a more ergonomic design than previous versions, a fast response time, and an intuitive touch-sensitive scroll wheel for navigating Apple TV. Ideal if you want complete control of your entertainment.”

No different than the original remote, identical in appearance & function.
