Apple recently announced its latest Apple TV 4K that comes with a faster A12 Bionic chip inside. It also boasts high frame rate HDR video for a more immersive video consumption experience. While the upgrades are great and pretty useful, Apple has also revamped the Apple TV Remote. The new remote features a more squarish design. However, you do not have to buy the new Apple TV 4K if you want to use the new Siri Remote as it is compatible with older models as well.

Apple's new Siri Remote features a five-way navigation click pad that is touch-enabled and can be used for swiping gestures. As mentioned earlier, the new Siri Remote can be used on older Apple TV models as well so you do not have to buy the latest model. For most people, the new internals and features might not be a gigantic jump over their current Apple TV models. Well, you can just use the new Siri Remote and reap all the benefits.
