Oh, yes that is identical to my original remote…
I had just ordered a new silver Siri remote and it appears that either it will not charge or the Bluetooth is totally dead so it is not detecting through my Apple TV. it’s going to be sent back tomorrow.
ironically my original silver Siri remote (The one in my image) started working again. That’s something that has boggled me for the last few weeks, it had been working great for almost eight months then suddenly the touchpad stopped working. I suppose I will start a new post about that see if anybody has any ideas.
how about the battery life on that remote, how long does it last? Even if it lasts three or four days it should be good. I have noticed that when they get down to about 25%, they start hanging up occasionally. Whenever I am using that remote I top it off every other day. The battery in that one has gone very dead, but it never really lasted a long time in the first place, probably a week at most. When it started draining in less than a day was when I bought the new remote.
I have found all kinds of people selling the new remotes on eBay you just have to be careful if you buy them from there I was lucky the first time, not so lucky the second time. It’s probably best to buy the new remote from Best Buy or some other authorized dealer… for now though keep your remote above 50% and it should not be as laggy. I thought you were talking about one of the silver remotes for the Apple TV three, I was using one of those for a while, before I realized that there was a touchpad and Siri on the one that they sent. I was just used to the old one…
these original black remotes were OK, but they greatly improved the remote when they put out the silver versions
