While Apple TV 4K continues to gain popularity among streaming enthusiasts, its compact remote isn’t universally loved. With minimal buttons and swipe gestures that don’t suit everyone, the Function 101 third-party remote offers a compelling alternative. Usually priced at $30, StackSocial has slashed the price by 19%, bringing it down to just $24 for a limited time—less than 48 hours left on this deal.
This remote stands out with its chunkier design, making it easier to handle and less prone to getting lost in the sofa cushions. It boasts all essential buttons including menu, navigation arrows, and comprehensive media playback controls, along with access to Apple TV’s app switcher and Control Center.
Compatible with both Apple TV and Apple TV 4K, as well as most modern TV sets, the Function101 remote lacks a dedicated Siri button, but for many users, this omission isn’t a deal-breaker.
