    I’ll definitely be upgrading my original Apple TV 4K remote!

    Wireless recharging remote nope, game controller still nope, find my feature nope, Have to buy a game controller separately wink wink, honestly it’s a pass product maybe next year next version

    He forgot the obvious. Apple got rid of the useless glass on the front so you MAY not have to buy a remote case.

    I’ll get the new remote. I already have an Apple TV & I love it.

    Absolutely not worth $59!
    The current remote is an embarrassment for Apple, how about making amends to users: $19. Not Apples finest moment

    The click pad looks like the click wheel on the ipod

    CNET has lost track of doing proper reviews. This new remote removes the ability to play games like with earlier remote.

    I’d get the new remote if it was on sale half off

    You use something for a few hours and then make a review video?!

    Just bought my first ever Apple TV 👍, waited so many years to get better I think now it’s time 👍

    Should add support for changing tv input.

    I want one but at $59 it is a little steep.

  15. Michael Cunningham

    May 22, 2021 at 12:14 am

    ordered 1 for 1 of my 2 old 4ks because closer in functionality to my 2 chromecast 4k remotes. Depending on my experience, I will get a second new 4k remote or ditch 1 of my apple 4ks for 3 rd chromecast. watch out apple!

  16. Rick Carroll

    May 22, 2021 at 12:18 am

    Yea, I am gonna pay $59 for a remote which does basically nothing my existing fire tv remote does. Unbelievable! Apple! Anything to make a buck!

    Thank god Apple hasn’t made Apple underwear, yet….reviews on CNET if they do

    I wish there was a trade in program for the previous remote

  19. Nathan Stice

    May 22, 2021 at 12:20 am

    Honestly the old remote I’ve gotten so use to, and the one I lose all the time is the bedroom one. But I bought up 3 of these to replace all of the Apple TV remotes in the house. Didn’t even hesitate.

    Eww dont copy google please

    yes i’m getting this!! the siri remote just blows lol

  22. Random Stranger

    May 22, 2021 at 12:37 am

    Tbh the Apple TV just isn’t it cutting it anymore. Why buy an Apple TV when the majority of the TVs are now smart and come pre-installed with the apps you need. I would of thought apple would of at least released their own television by now…

  23. Spencer Chase

    May 22, 2021 at 12:42 am

    Got mine today! It’s so much better than the last remote! 👍🏼

  24. Garry Burgess

    May 22, 2021 at 1:01 am

    They didn’t let me know that I needed to update the Apple TV software, and after that I was finally able to pair the new remote. But before that I was pulling out my hair.

  25. Francisco Quintero

    May 22, 2021 at 1:19 am

    What we need is a backlit remote!!!

  26. Francisco Quintero

    May 22, 2021 at 1:19 am

    Apple, here is a better idea: since we can control the Apple TV with our phones… can you just sell the box and change the storage? Sell it for $99 (64 Gb) and $120 (128 Gb).

    • Christopher Crawford

      May 22, 2021 at 3:28 am

      I actually prefer a dedicated remote over using my phone, except in the case of putting in passwords from iCloud key chain.

    • Miguel castro

      May 22, 2021 at 6:31 am

      A real remote is better..

  27. Matthew Sutherland

    Yes.

  28. Allan Foo

    May 22, 2021 at 2:07 am

    US$59.00 just for a remote? Ridiculous! Might as well get another AppleTV – 4K! Stop wasting with AppleTV HD.😴

    • Christopher Crawford

      May 22, 2021 at 3:36 am

      Well did you expect them to give the remote out for free?….. why would they do that?….

  29. vacationboyvideos

    May 22, 2021 at 2:31 am

    I love the track pad! It’s why I use apple tv

  30. Shem

    May 22, 2021 at 2:52 am

    Apple: Built in U1? Nah…..here’s a new remote holder with a pocket for the airtag. Just buy these 2 additional items and you are able to locate your remote anywhere in the world.

  31. Christopher Crawford

    May 22, 2021 at 3:18 am

    I wish the siri button stayed on top, but maybe with the added thickness I won’t mind the ergonomics of it.

    If you bought an Apple TV you should’ve spent that money on a better TV. If you say you already have a brand new TV then you wasted your money cause if you bought a new smart tv it already has all the video apps that an apple TV would have.

  35. Michael Connors

    Enjoying my new remote!

  36. Greg Scott

    May 22, 2021 at 5:08 am

    It’s too bad Apple stuck with a rectangular shape. Apple’s little brick is not nearly as pleasing to hold as my LG TV remote or the old TIVO remote I used to have.

  37. Jerby Castillo

    Make a review about games using 2021 Apple TV 4K

  38. Caden Churchill

    That remote looks sweet and just LOVE how they brought back the click wheel!

    Guys, just use your phone it’s better.

  41. DLITINTHEHOUSE

    I’ll be putting an air tag right at the bottom of that sucker when it comes in.

    If more companies do backlit remotes it’ll be a better world for customers. Also, if remotes can control other devices a lot more as well.

    It’s weird to see a review of a ”REMOTE”. I MEAN A REMOTE🤣🤣

  45. Micah Mann

    May 22, 2021 at 4:47 pm

    I seriously have never lost my Apple remote. I just don’t understand where people are taking their remotes??? It’s on or in the couch. That’s it. 🤣

    • Terry Rodbourn

      May 24, 2021 at 3:47 pm

      I guess you never had kids that to watch Disney+ and were they it leave the living room in the strangest places!

      @Terry Rodbourn HAHA True.

  46. MyNinjapanda

    May 22, 2021 at 6:10 pm

    I use the remote that came with the Apple 4K and for me it works just fine. Plus I have my Logitech wireless keyboard paired with the TV if I need more refined moments.
    I really do not see anything on the new remote that would make me want to upgrade.

    May 22, 2021 at 10:40 pm

    How did he not see the ball of lint on his cheek during editing? I’m always amazed at how things like this are missed in pre/post production lol

    • dvxAznxvb

    • Blake Chandler

      I just thought it was a skin tag or mole 🤣😆

    • proton sports

      May 24, 2021 at 7:44 pm

      He might have noticed after recording the whole video and checking it but did not wanted to re do the whole review so he went on with the lint 🙃

    May 23, 2021 at 3:51 am

    Why do we need Apple TV 4K? if we already have all the apps and Apple TV in a 4k TV like Lg or Samsung.

  51. Ashwin Bhat

    May 23, 2021 at 4:01 am

    Are those sharp rectangular corners comfortable to hold?

  52. pam oakes

    May 23, 2021 at 5:27 am

    I purchased just the remote for my Apple TV 4K and love it! Omg soooo much better and worth it to me.

  53. Mike Magana

    May 23, 2021 at 8:09 am

    I hate the old apple tv remote…but can justify paying another $59 to get the new remote.

  54. felishian

    May 23, 2021 at 8:54 am

    Apple going to release a new pro version specifically for gamers ✌️

  55. aproapegata

    May 23, 2021 at 2:56 pm

    The older one is much more nice, a true piece of design.

  56. iMax_79

    May 23, 2021 at 10:02 pm

    Who tf loses his remote and can‘t find it by himself within 2 min.?!

  57. Jay

    May 24, 2021 at 6:24 am

    Motion control games ? I think that’s a downgrade

  58. bulb97

    May 24, 2021 at 7:41 am

    I know I’m in the minority, but I actually don’t mind and kinda like the touchpad on the last Apple TV remote. Maybe because I’m use to it or maybe I like the sleekness of the remote design, I’m not sure. (I also have a case on it too which helps for ergonomics.) As much as I like the new remote, I probably won’t get one unless I buy a new Apple TV 🤷🏻‍♂️

  59. David

    May 24, 2021 at 8:23 am

    I think it’s a pretty ugly remote.

  60. Jon Snow

    May 24, 2021 at 2:09 pm

    I got a new remote. I am sure I will like it better than the old one. Can’t wait to get it.

    The Siri button is awkward for left handed people.
