Already several months ago, Eddy Cue and Craig Federighi discussed today of Apple in an extensive interview. In that interview, had time to talk about Apple TV of fourth generation with a much more capable Remote app that would allow us to leave the Siri Remote in a drawer and use all its functions from your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, but not with the iPad. This application is available now and his name is Apple TV Remote.
The application that used to be called just “Remote” is now called “iTunes Remote”, so either ceases to be the fourth generation in a future update Apple TV-compatible or it will continue to be so limited as it is in these moments. The application allowed us to move through the interface of tvOS, but we could not use it to play or to ask things via Siri. That is something we can do with the new Apple TV Remote app.
Features of Apple TV Remote
- Browse the Apple TV with your fingers.
- Write text, email addresses and passwords quickly with the keyboard.
- Ask Siri to find something that is suitable for watching, listening or playing.
- Controls playback of the movie, TV show, or song that you are watching or listening to.
- It uses the accelerometer and gyroscope to play video games.
- Active the mode game to use some controls of game more simple.
By which I could test (bit), with Apple TV Remote is easier to move through the menus of tvOS, something to contribute the Menu buttons and home. Ask him things to Siri also works quite well, but have that have in has that the microphone of the iPhone is in the part bottom of the phone, not up as in the Siri Remote. In short, are dealing with an application that puts on our iPhone or iPod a Remote Siri. My question is: not could have added this feature to the Remote application which was already available?
