Context and revision
Third-generation Siri Remote was announced on October 18, 2022. Apple described the same design and functionality as its predecessor, now charging through USB-C. Included with the new Apple TV 4K, it was announced separately at US$59 starting that day; November 4 was Apple TV’s announced availability. The connector change is not a new navigation system.
Connection and power
Bluetooth 5.0 and infrared, with an internal battery not user replaceable and USB-C charging. Apple’s guide requires Apple TV HD/4K with tvOS 15.4 or later.
Limits and later changes
Siri depends on Apple TV’s language and region; Apple TV Remote is also the name of the same hardware where Siri is unavailable. The iPhone software control is not this physical accessory. Apple TV processor, video and far-field-microphone features are not assigned to the remote. In 2026 Apple lists Find My for second generation onward, but reserves sound playback to the newest model and Precision Finding to fourth generation with iPhone Duo, iPhone Air or iPhone 17 onward excluding 17e, latest iOS and regional limits. This is later information, not 2021/2022 launch equipment.
