https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/tvos/documentation/General/Concep tual/AppleTV_PG/


According to the page, it seems there is 2 version of hardware on new Apple TV remote.

Is there anyone confirm any hardware different between 2 remote?


And if i buy the US Apple TV which support Siri, can i switch to use any country (not 8 country), such as using another country apple ID, app store, even i don't use the siri function?

Here is what Apple states:

*Apple TV (4th generation) ships with the same remote everywhere. In countries and regions that support Siri, the remote is called Siri Remote. Elsewhere, it’s called Apple TV Remote. Siri works on either remote as long as your Apple TV (4th generation) is set up with a language and country that supports Siri.

So it is the same hardware - guess they simple haven't had time to build the right support for tvOS in all languages that is currently supported in Siri.
