This week and more specifically last Tuesday a rumor was launched about the possible arrival of a new remote control for Apple TV. It was about a possible redesign of the current model according to rumors, but finally it seems that this will come to nothing and the data obtained in the beta version tvOS talked about a design of Universal Electronics for your own remote.
So this news or rumor in principle would be totally denied now. A real shame since although it is true that the Apple remote control would not be the center of the problems of the Apple TV, a redesign in it could also mean the renewal of the set-top box itself.
The truth is that Apple has quite neglected the device in terms of updates and this is something we all know. Now with the arrival of services and the Apple TV + application for televisions natively suggests that Apple has no intention of renewing it And any rumor about changes to the device or the remote control itself raises a lot of expectations.
The changes that could be applied to the device are generally more internal than external and could add the option of spatial audio or the like. What is evident is that Apple has other priorities and nothing suggests that this year we will have changes in the device. It works, it works, so we are not going to demand that changes be made for now. But it is true that today it is not very advisable to buy this small device for home since there are other more interesting options on the market with a lower price. Whoever has the Apple TV to enjoy it to the fullest, the one who does not better wait or directly do not buy it.
