The updated Siri Remote allows users to enjoy a touch-enabled clickpad that provides precise control to easily navigate the simple and elegant user interface of Apple TV. Siri is also smartly configured on the Siri Remote such that you would not need to say ‘Hey Siri’ and trigger all your other Apple devices’ Siri function. This game changer allows you to simply ask ‘Who are the actors in this show’ and Siri would cleverly serve up the Cast bio on the right side of your TV screen without you having to manually check on Safari!
