september 9, 2015
on september 9, 2015, apple announced the new siri remote for the 4th generation apple tv (although in some territories, apple have kept the name apple tv remote, due to siri functionality not being enabled on it in that territory). it is a completely redesigned remote that features dual microphones for siri support and a glass touch surface for navigation around the interface by swiping or tapping and scrubbing to fast forward or rewind. also, it has a menu and home button, a siri button to invoke siri, a play/pause button, and a volume up/down button to control the volume on the tv. the siri remote communicates with the apple tv via bluetooth rather than infrared, removing the requirement of a line-of-sight with the device. this new remote is only supported by the 4th generation apple tv and later and will not work with earlier generations.
