Apple launched a new Apple TV last Keynote, a new device that replaces the previous Apple TV and that brings us some extra as improvements in its operation and a new eARC that allows us to have other sources connected to the television. In addition, it also brings us a new Siri Remote that seems to be not convincing ... Now the vice president of marketing explains the shortcomings of this new Siri Remote.
Curious to say the least, they could have said it differently but no, according to Tim Twerdahl's statements on MobileSyrup, the new Siri Remote does not need the technology that allows it to be inside the Search app because it is thicker than the previous model and that makes it more difficult to lose it. An excuse from this manager, but everything has to be said, Does anyone need the Siri Remote to appear in the Search app so that we can locate it inside our house? Do you lose a lot of controls in your house?
In short, one more controversy for the new Siri Remote. Many expected more from this new remote control for the Apple TV but it seems that everything remains in new buttons that allow us to control our television, something that will certainly come in handy but that will doubtfully make us decide to buy this new Siri Remote if we have an old Apple TV and we don't want to go through the hoop to buy the new one. About using it as a video game controller, Twedahl also commented that Apple recommends a dedicated gaming device like PlayStation or Xbox controllers.. A shame without a doubt that Apple has not taken advantage of this device, an Apple TV that not only opens them up to having more users subscribed to Apple TV + or Apple Music, it is a perfect device for Apple Arcade that they are spoiling not only because of the service catalog if not also by the main controller of Apple TV.
