Last month, Apple introduced a new wheel-controlled remote control for Apple TV 4K, the Apple TV Remote, which is equipped with a new point-touch trackpad that allows users to click on content, slide through playlists, and use circle gestures on the outer circle to find the desired picture. However, the compatible devices of the Apple TV Remote are not limited to Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD. In fact, as long as it is paired with the Remote Buddy App, it can be easily used as a trackpad or virtual keyboard on a Mac computer to perform multimedia playback, presentations and other operations.
