I like big buttons and I cannot lie--this Apple TV remote is fly
Before remotes became sleek slabs of glass with touchpads and voice assistants, they used to click. And we liked the way that felt. The Function101 Button Remote for Apple TV brings back that retro feel--no Siri, no swipey-swipes, just big, satisfying buttons that do exactly what you expect. If you've ever flipped through channels with your thumb while eating cereal on a Saturday morning, this remote will feel like home. You don't need to learn new gestures, and it ditches the voice command gimmicks in favor of an intuitive layout that gives you quick control over volume, power, and navigation.
AirTag tech to help find your lost Apple TV remote? Don't get your hopes up. Here's why.
If you have ever owned an Apple TV streaming device, then you know how easy it is to lose its remote. Its thin frame becomes its downfall when confronted with the comfy spaces between couch cushions. Naturally, when Apple recently introduced AirTags, a tiny disc capable of tracking your stuff through the iPhone's Find My app, some people joked we could finally keep track of that easy-to-lose Apple TV remote. During an interview with the website MobileSyrup, Tim Twerdahl, Apple's vice president of product marketing for home and audio, said upgrades to the size of the Siri-enabled Apple TV remote were enough to make it less likely to lose without incorporating technology similar to AirTags. "With the changes we've made to the Siri Remote – including making it a bit thicker so it won't fall in your couch cushions as much – that need to have all these other network devices find it seems a little bit lower," said Twerdahl.
