Apple Remote



The Apple Remote was first a small white remote that controls Front Row, iPod Hi-Fi, Apple Universal Dock, iPod AV Connection Kit, and the Apple TV. The first version had 6 buttons and was bundled with the 1st generation Apple TV, 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 it was bundled with the 3rd generation Apple Universal Dock and it still used IR. The Apple remote was succeeded by the Siri Remote, although Apple Remotes still work on all Apple TVs, although Macs ditched their infrared sensors Some people prefer it better than the Siri Remote, as it has real buttons, more simple, and doesn’t smash and have broken glass. The 2nd generation Apple remote is also prone to getting lost. It came with the iMac G5. It was originally released for Front Row.
