Reviews for Apple Remote

When I bought it I thought it will work with all iphone/ipod touch apps but this is not true. Also it offers very limited control. You have to constantly go back to your device to start stop application or switch to a new video on youtube that defeates the purpose of having a remote. Apple you can do a better job than this....

The apple remote is built well, and nearly flawless. I was very impressed with the design. However, as a costumer, I am a little disappointed. The Apple Remote does not work with the Macbook, because it does not have Infrared. I should have done more research, before I bought this product. However, it would have been nice to know that this product wouldn't work with my compute, before I bought it. This is probably the first time I have ever been upset, with an Apple product.

I should have looked closer before purchasing the apple remote as it does not control the iPhone without the phone being in a universal dock. I was excited to control my phone from across the room with it hooked up to my stereo, only to discover I have to purchase another accessory to do so. I will sadly be making my first return of an Apple product:-(

To be honest this seemed like the silliest thing ever. We got it as a gift and I held onto it. Actually I've had it for years. Today, I made my toddler a playlist and handed it to him. Now he can control his music without having to touch my MacBook. It has been a life saver. We have stopped fighting over my computer. I can write an email and he can still make the computer do things. A perfect stocking stuffer for you little techie.

Come on Apple. You have the best computers. We now need a tool to present in the corporate world. This is a joke for presenting. Not helpful. Need something much more powerful.

All the respect in the world for the Apple Products, but this is not a work tool.

I have no doubt the aluminum remote works well but the only problem I have with it is it's aluminum. The aluminum used by apple is not nickel free and therefore causes severe dermatitis in those with a nickel sensitivity. I wish the remote was still made in plastic as well.

I wish it was shorter too.

It's one tiny remote. Feels extremely good in the hands, and does what it's supposed to do. You could even use it to control any applications with simple iRed Lite software. Great little remote that does everything a mouse can do. even better at times.

Don't drop it. It's an odd thing to say for such a nice little metal remote that should be so solid, but if you are watching your apple tv and the remote happens to slide off the armrest of your couch, have fun trying to get the remote to work again. Usually if I pop the battery cover off, take the battery out, and then put it all back together, it works, but sometimes not.

Most of the remote controls stick magnetically to the middle left side of your iMac's screen (the black stripe around the screen). You will feel the magnetism there. If it is not strong enough to hold your remote, move your remote control up and down on the surface (this will gain your remote more magnetism) and than it will hold there perfectly. It is a cool and useful fact to know. I would give more than five stars for this product if I could.

This is a great and sleek remote it looks great on top of my coffee table
