You can click on Remote, however, and get the actual percentage charge remaining on the battery, as well as things like the battery’s serial number and firmware version. Then, at the “Remote” section, typically third from the top, you will see the battery charge icon next to the word “Remote”. Open up the Settings app and select “Remotes and Devices”. Can I check the battery level of the Remote? The only indication it gives is on the Apple TV (if it’s on), you’ll see a pop up in the top right corner of the screen appear for a few seconds saying the Remote is charging. The Apple remote doesn’t actually have a way to show whether it’s charging. With Siri, you can find what you want to watch using your voice. If you don’t have one, then you’ll need to get a Lightning to USB cable.ģ: Plug the Lightning end of the cable (the smaller, flatter end) into the port at the base of the remote.Ĥ: Plug the USB end into either a computer or a wall outlet adapter. The Siri Remote (3rd generation) brings precise control to your Apple TV 4K.¹ Its touch-enabled clickpad lets you select titles, swipe through playlists, and use a circular gesture on the outer ring to find just the scene you’re looking for. If not, you can use a Lightning cable that came with your iPhone or iPad. This cable should have come in the box with your Apple TV. That’s the Lightning port.Ģ: Get your Lightning cable. This will work as well with the new Siri remote Apple released in May 2021.ġ: Get your Apple TV Remote, and look for the port at the bottom. So how do you charge it? Plug a Lightning cable into it! Yep, the same cable you use to charge your iPhone and non-Pro iPads also charges the Apple TV cable. One might almost forget that it needs to be charged on a regular basis…until the battery dies. *Apple states that a charge cycle means using all the battery's capacity, but not necessarily by full charge and discharge e.g., using half the charge of a fully charged battery, charging it, and then using the same amount of charge again count as a single charge cycle.Arguably the Apple Remote has the longest battery life of any Apple device currently made, probably because of its lack of a screen and fewer power needs. In other words the battery should last longer than the useful life of the Apple TV. The Siri Remote (3rd generation) brings precise control to your Apple TV 4K.¹ Its touch-enabled clickpad lets you select titles, swipe through playlists, and use a circular gesture on the outer ring to find just the scene you’re looking for. Apple states that the iPhone battery is designed to retain up to 80 percent of its original capacity at 500 full charge and discharge cycles and the MacBook Pros and Airs should retain the same 80% after 1000 full charge and discharge cycles.īased on that, even if the Siri remote was only rated at 250 full charge and discharge cycles before it got down to 80% capacity and you charged it 12 times a year due to heavy usage the battery should retain 80% of its charge after 20 years. Apple does not state how many charge cycles the Siri remote is rated at but to give you some context. If you are referring to the battery lifetime then it depends on how many charge cycles* the battery is rated at. If you are referring to the battery life between charge cycles then it depends on use but you should be able to use it 2–3 months between charge cycles.
