Apple’s new Find My-compatible remote will also work with your old Apple TV
Apple has released a new Siri Remote with Find My support that is backward compatible with older Apple TV models. Advanced precision tracking features are restricted to newer iPhone models equipped with the N1 networking chip.
Why it matters
This update demonstrates Apple's strategy of integrating ecosystem-wide hardware features while creating incentives for users to upgrade to the latest iPhone models.
You don’t need to buy the new Apple TV 4K just to get the updated Siri Remote with Find My and a built-in speaker, as it works with every model released going back to the Apple TV HD and is available to buy standalone for $59.
