Why is everyone ditching the Siri Remote for this?

Is Siri’s voice control losing its charm? A wave of Apple TV users are ditching their sleek remotes for something surprisingly old-school. And we get it…Siri’s misinterpretations and the endless swiping get old, and fast.

This standard remote isn’t flashy and doesn’t talk back, but it’s got one thing Siri doesn’t: familiarity. If you’re simply fed up, it might be time to grab this Apple TV remote alternative by Function101. It’s only $34.97 through September 29 (reg. $39.99).

Instead of only a few slippery buttons, this remote has every classic ‘90s control. Quickly access the tvOS Control Center, switch profiles, set a sleep timer, and switch to AirPods and HomePod devices. There are also fast-forward and rewind buttons you simply didn’t have with the Siri Remote.

The remote has both Bluetooth and infrared tech to work with all Apple TVs and hundreds of major TV brands, soundbars, and receivers.
