Apple Remote

The Apple Remote was first a small white remote that controls Front Row, iPod Hi-Fi, and Apple TV. This had 6 buttons and was widely criticized by the community, and transmitted stuff with IR (Infrared Radiation). Later, a more known silver aluminum revision was made. It had 7 buttons, and was way more simple than the previous. It was compatible with Front Row and the Apple TV, and still used IR. The Apple remote was succeeded by the Siri Remote, although Apple Remotes still work on all Apple TVs, and some people prefer it better than the Siri Remote, as it has real buttons, more simple, and doesn’t smash and have broken glass.
