Why you don’t need a second remote for the new Apple TV

As you know, today began selling Apple TV fourth generation. The device is available for purchase and for residents of Russia, not only in the US and Europe. Along with the ability to place an order for a console everyone can buy a number of accessories. In particular, the range presents an additional Apple remote Apple TV Remote. But who may need it and, most importantly, why?

At first glance the Apple TV Remote is the easiest remote control. However, the underlying functionality is broader than the usual “idlers”. Thus, in the device built-in microphone system lets you control the console by voice and a gyroscope and accelerometer designed to track its position in space during the games.

Such a number of technological innovations has not been in vain and for the Apple remote requests as much as for the previous console generation – 6 490 rubles. Very interesting pricing policy.

But much more important is that the console does not support simultaneously more than one Apple TV Remote. And this fact indicated only in the English version of the Apple website, but in Russian we can see only the text about “a completely new way of interacting with Apple TV”.

In General, it is especially strange taking into account the possibility to use the remote as a game controller. Of course, fans would prefer to play a real controller like SteelSeries Nimbus, but then why buy an additional remote?

Perhaps it will be important for those users who have lost the remote controller or simply broke. Everything seems to be logical, but in that case why Apple offers you to buy another console when placing the order on Apple TV? Perhaps this kind of recommendations may well confuse those who do not know about the prohibition to use two Apple TV Remote.
