Yes, we know. However it is not as convenient as holding a remote, and it is pretty much just a larger version of the ATV remote but with a little better trackpad control. I’ve tried it, but it really much better over all than the ATV remote.
The new remote looks to be much better in functionality and size (hold-ability). At $59 standalone I’m not seeing enough to tempt me to buy it, especially since I would also need to get a neoprene cover for it because Apple thinks remotes need to be small and slippery. Ultimately, the new remote doesn’t add much function other than adding a mute function and the ability to turn on/off the ATV 4K and the TV set with a Power button. It does look like the trackpad will operate better on it, and it adds iPod style wheel control for scrolling.
