The Apple Remote (aluminum) will also be able to control the Apple TV 4K, but obviously not through swiping gestures or the Siri voice assistant, as those features require the newer Siri Remote.

The power cable is the same standard C7 cable for all models Apple TV.


If you have an iOS device, you may also try the Apple TV Remote app to control the Apple TV box.
