It works with a lot of TV remotes, I rarely use the Apple one.
I prefer the remote control app instead, why find a remote when it can just be on your phone, y'know?
What's the use case for the IR remote ?
In the remote, not the TV, unless I'm misreading.
Saying there's no remote is a marketing gimmick. There's a remote, your phone plus the app.
You could just download an app and use your phone as a remote :)
Coming to Smart TV remote controls soon!
What was modal about the remote? Switching between TV/display/audio while the main set stays the same?
I would buy one of these in an instant if it could control a Roku without me having to my own server and could control my infrared TV/sound bar. I can't believe how I still have so many remotes.
Which is a good reason to use a remote of some kind, no?
