5 Reasons to Buy the New Apple TV

Amazing New Apple TV Remote Control

Forget fumbling for your iPhone to pause the show or looking at the small sliver of aluminum you used to use to control your Apple TV. The new Apple TV remove control includes a couch surface that allows you to slide up or down to make a selection. You can then click anywhere on the surface to make your choice. The touch area even supports fast scrubbing to get to the right part of a show.

We already walked through how you can use it to activate Siri to control your Apple TV, but it also acts as a game controller and it includes motion sensors for a Wii Sports like game that you can play by waving the remote control around.

You can also teach the New Apple TV remote control to handle other devices in your living room including your soundbar or HDTV. The Apple TV remote control recharges with a Lightning cable, like the one you use to charge your iPhone.
