We’re pretty confident in saying that the Apple TV 4K is one of the best streaming devices we’ve tested, and it offers many features that you can’t get from competing products. But as great as it is, there is one area where it absolutely lets itself down — the remote control that comes with it. Sure, the latest model is better than the one that came before it, but it’s still too small and easily lost, plus it relies on swipe gestures that not everyone gets on with. Now, you can replace it with a much better product and save some money at the same time.
That better option is the Function101 Apple TV remote, a product that would normally sell for $30 but is yours today for just $24 as part of StackSocial’s latest discount. That’s a reasonable saving, and it’s one that you can pick up today by entering the discount code ENJOY20.
The remote is much more chunky than Apple’s, which means it’s easier to find and less likely to slide between the cushions on your couch. It also has all the buttons you’re going to want, including a menu button, navigation arrows and a whole slate of buttons for media playback control.
The Function101 remote works with all Apple TV and Apple TV 4K boxes and will also work with most modern TV sets. The only thing worth being aware of is the lack of a Siri button, but if we’re being honest, that isn’t all that big of a deal. Sorry, Siri.
