    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.

    This is a pretty good remote, I’m using it for my 2020-2021 Apple TV and it works perfectly, connected within a second. USB-C is also great. And I LOVE the battery life on it. I’ve used past versions for 1-2 years without charging. Hopefully this is the same or even better.

    This is a huge improvement over the 1st gen remotes the Apple 4k TV came with. Controls are much easier to use, it’s big enough were it doesn’t slip disappear easily and it’s not slippery like the old one.

    I got this for my mom as a Christmas gift thinking nothing of it but we love it. It is a very big improvement from the previous generation remote. We were a little worried that it wasn’t gonna work since the Apple TV was also from the previous generation but nope, we literally just charged it pointed it to the TV press the button and it connected as simple as that

    The remote has been fantastic. Had to replace my old remote due to it malfunctioning. I had the slim black remote. The new remote was easy to pair. Apple keeps it simple.

    Tactile buttons for up/down/left/right is a lot easier to understand for anyone using the remote, compared to the old model which only had swipe gestures. Long battery life, good build quality, feels premium. Only thing missing is an input button so I can ditch my TV remote for good

    This new AppleTV Remote which replaces my current remote which became defective, was too easy to setup. So happy Best Buy had it on the spot! Love the convenience of having Best Buy around!
