New Apple TV remote is supposed to have a touch pad

[Bouzoo]

Quote:" Apple has long ridiculed remote controls for being too complex. Now after eight years of a minimalist design for its Apple TV remote, the company is revising the device’s design.

When Apple introduces its new TV box this summer, the remote control will gain a touch pad and also be slightly thicker than the current version, according to an employee briefed on the product, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the device was confidential. The touch pad can be used for scrolling around and there will also be two physical buttons, the person said. The remote’s thicker size is comparable to the remote control for Amazon’s wireless speaker, the Echo, the person added.

Tom Neumayr, an Apple spokesman, declined to comment on the product."

So if this is true, it might bring a "new revolution" we all knew was coming, let's be honest.
I use my phone sometimes instead of a remote and I suppose it'll be a similar, if not the same concept. We'll see.

Wow I didn't even know those things existed Like I'm living in the stone age.

But the sad thing is, people are actually gonna think that Apple invented it, because Apple.

My friend in high school had a touch pad remote (and this was...almost ten years ago now?) and it fucking sucked. Granted it was one of those after market universal remotes, but it was more complicated to operate than Linux.

 

However, knowing apple, it will be quite simple.
