At long last, the new Apple TV will allow users to download apps from a dedicated App Store and—yes—games! But the Apple TV's sleek new Siri Remote has the Wiimote problem: it can smash your TV.
So what do you do if you're afraid of accidentally flinging the Siri Remote into your big screen TV when playing games like Beat Sports, which requires you to swing the remote? Get Apple's Remote Loop which, somewhat unbelievably, isn't bundled with the new set-top box—it's an accessory sold separately.
One of the best features of the new Apple TV, in my personal opinion, is its redesigned remote with Bluetooth 4.0 and built-in dual microphones for Siri functionality. Too bad not all buyers will be allowed to enjoy the new Siri Remote, as Apple is calling it.
According to the company's official documentation for developers, the new Siri Remote is available in just eight key markets like the United States, United Kingdom and Germany, to name a few. Apple TVs in all other countries will be packaged with the standard remote.
