Seems a lot of people complain about the Apple TV remote, I don’t see why. I have an LG C-1 and it controls the volume and all settings. Honestly best remote I’ve ever had.

    I have problems with the centre circle button being right next to the surrounding circular buttons. I often press the outside button when trying to press the centre. It’s hard to feel the difference.

    I haven’t really seen many people complaining about the new remote. The older remote that had glass on the front wasn’t the worst remote I’ve ever used, but it was pretty bad. The new one keeps the spirit of the older one while making it more ergonomic, durable, and usable.

    I like it. It’s small and does the job. But I always forget which button is which in the dark. Wish it was glow in the dark or something.

    I love the newer version of the Apple remote - the original smaller all black one not so much.

    I find it so easy to use that I often deliberately wait to watch programs on my streamers versus my DVR because it is so much easier to fast forward and find programs without looking at the remote.

    And having iOS 17 have a timer setting is life changing for me as I generally set the television for a boring program that I don’t have to use my eyes to watch and drift off to sleep within 15 minutes. I previously had to haul out the remote for the television ONLY for the timing function.
