Siri Remote (3rd generation)

Siri Remote 3rd Generation Price in Kenya

The Siri Remote 3rd Generation Price in Kenya is Ksh 10,500. This is the latest and most refined controller for your Apple TV. Introduced in late 2022, it maintains the beloved aluminum design of the 2nd generation but introduces a crucial upgrade: USB-C charging.

Gone is the frustration of the old black “touchpad” remote. The 3rd Gen Siri Remote features a precise touch-enabled clickpad with a circular gesture ring. It feels solid, premium, and impossible to lose in the sofa cushions compared to its predecessors. Whether you are replacing a lost remote or upgrading from the frustrating older model, this is the definitive way to experience tvOS. Buy it today at Exelic Gadgets.

Why You’ll Love It (The Lifestyle Upgrade)

• The “Jog Wheel” Scrubbing: Remember the iPod? The outer ring of the clickpad acts like a jog wheel, so that you can swirl your thumb to rewind or fast-forward to the exact second of a movie scene instantly.
• USB-C Convenience: It charges via USB-C, so that you can finally ditch the Lightning cable and use one charger for all your modern devices.
• Precise Clicking: Unlike the old “swipe-only” remote, this one has actual click buttons, so that you can navigate menus with zero mistakes.
• Siri Power: The dedicated Siri button is on the side (like an iPhone), so that you can just press it and say “What did he say?” to instantly rewind 15 seconds and turn on subtitles.
• TV Control: It has an IR transmitter and supports HDMI-CEC, so that it can turn your TV on/off and control the volume, allowing you to put your other remotes in a drawer.
• Premium Weight: Made of a single piece of recycled aluminum, so that it feels cool to the touch and substantial in the hand.

Siri Remote (3rd Gen) Specifications

Deep Dive: The Tech Explained

1. The Touch-Enabled Clickpad

The defining feature of this remote is the hybrid control pad. It combines the best of both worlds:

• Clicking: You can physically click Up, Down, Left, Right, and Center for precise navigation.
• Swiping: The surface is touch-sensitive, allowing you to swipe quickly through long lists like Netflix categories.
• Jogging: By resting your thumb on the outer ring and making a circular motion, you activate a “scrubbing” mode to fast-forward or rewind video with frame-by-frame precision.

2. USB-C: The Future Standard

The 3rd Generation is virtually identical to the 2nd Generation, with one major internal change: the move from Lightning to USB-C. This aligns the remote with Apple’s transition away from proprietary cables. It charges faster and allows you to use standard cables found on almost every modern Android phone, laptop, or new Apple device.

3. Siri Integration

The microphone button is located on the right side of the remote, mimicking the “Side Button” on an iPhone. When pressed, it activates Siri on the Apple TV. You can use commands like:

• “Show me 4K action movies.”
• “Turn on Enhanced Dialogue.”
• “Open YouTube.”

This bypasses the tedious on-screen keyboard, saving you time when searching for content.

4. Universal Control (IR + HDMI-CEC)

This remote is designed to be the only remote you need.

• IR Transmitter: It can learn the Volume Up/Down and Mute signals from your TV or Soundbar.
• HDMI-CEC: When you press the Power button on the remote, it sends a signal through the Apple TV to your television to turn it on and switch to the correct input automatically.

Who Is This Perfect For?

• The “Black Remote” Hater: If you are still using the flat, black, glass remote (1st Gen) that breaks easily and is hard to use, this is a life-changing upgrade.
• The USB-C Purist: You want to eliminate Lightning cables from your life completely.
• The Replacement Buyer: You lost your remote in the sofa or your dog chewed it. This is the official replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• Q: Does it come with a charging cable? A: No. Apple stopped including the charging cable in the box for this model. You will need to use your own USB-C cable (the same one used for most Android phones or newer iPads).
• Q: Will it work with my old Apple TV HD? A: Yes. It is compatible with the Apple TV HD (4th Gen) and all Apple TV 4K models (1st, 2nd, and 3rd Gen).
• Q: Can I use it to find my lost remote? A: No. This remote does not have the “Find My” speaker inside. (Only the iPhone can be used to find the remote if you have the latest tvOS update, utilizing signal strength, but the remote itself does not chirp).
• Q: Is it rechargeable? A: Yes. It has a built-in battery that typically lasts 3 to 6 months on a single charge with normal daily use
