    Doesn’t shatter like the one it replaced. Syncs up nice and easy.

    Works seamlessly with my Apple TV. Better than the original remote that Apple had for these which broke easily.

    Bought a knockoff remote for an older Apple TV - it looked similar and was $30 cheaper. Well turns out you get what you pay for. It was a waste of money. Broke down and bought the Apple remote, happy ever since. Works like a charm, easy setup. Had to mess with the TV settings to get it to accept the Apple Remote to control off and on function.

    Love this Apple TV! Having used many, many Fire sticks in the past, I have to say that I have no plans on going back to them. Apparently you do get what you pay for. Also, I am an iPhone user.

    Excellent Remote control for Apple TV. It does require that you familiarize your self with the sensitivity of the selection wheel. Once that is done it is smooth sailing

    When I saw the new remote in Best Buy, I KNEW I had to have it! I love everything about it! Easy to use, comfortable larger size AND the color of the device so it is easy to spot on the coffee table. (I was forever always looking where I had mis-placed the small black controller). Do yourself a favor and pick up this remote!

    I upgraded my Apple 4K TV box's remote control for voice input. A great purchase. I now just talk to Siri through the control instead of having to type in the words to do my searches. I get results a lot faster. Upgrade was worth it.

    This is a great remote, and it is so much easier to hold and utilize versus the very thin almost wafer like remote that the Apple TVs used to have. I actually bought these from my current Apple TV just to not use the remote anymore. It’s worth it.
