Everyone was waiting with baited breath as the awesome new Apple TV was preparing itself to be present before us by none other than Steve Jobs. What stuck in my head was the brilliance of the remote that Apple have worked on, given its impetus to a minimalist approach. There are, evidently, two remotes that the company will be flaunting. The old remote wasn’t what everyone seemed to detest because it didn’t feel like a device that you’d be battling your grandmother for. The new one on the other hand is longer, is made of aluminum, dons the usual six buttons and somehow feels better.

If you’re wondering about the second remote then fret not. You probably already own it. That’s right, it’s none other than your iPhone/iPad/iPhone.
