Some users of the new Apple TV They are already complaining that the control is too fragile, and that it can break when falling to the ground, something quite common in this type of device.
Control Apple TV, not drops
The Apple TV finally and of course, a new product on the market is equal to new complaints from users. It happened with iPhones, with iPad, with the Apple Watch ... In short, what always happens, and with the Apple TV 4th generation was not going to be less.
Apparently the control of this device is made of glass, at least the touch or control part. What about this? That if you leave the remote lying on the sofa or on the table and you do not realize it, it can fall, and hit the floor implies breaking the glass. Repair of a new remote Apple TV It comes out for… moments of tension… drum roll… Okay, I won't make you wait any longer, repairing a simple crystal of the remote will cost us 79 dollars. Almost half of what the device costs in its 32 gig version.
Tim Cook, the current CEO of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, tried to convince us that the Apple TV it was the future of technologies. We are not going to question those words, we will do that another time, now the important thing is that in this future we either have a carpet or carpet or the blow that the command can take will be its end.
If you have bought or plan to buy the Apple TV I advise you to be very careful with the command, not to lose sight of it or leave it in high places. And I don't think it will take long for controller covers to appear, as with the iPhonesThey would not be bad at all (We start making covers with crochet and we cover ourselves, I see business there).
