Reviews for Apple Remote

The new remote is worth buying, just a little disappointed at apple for making the first product that I have ever owned from them that doesn't have the apple LOGO. what a bummer, other than that it is awesome!!!!

The new apple remote feels better with a fresh new contoured body and is extremely reminiscent of the silver nano. It's new length fits in your hand without getting lost if you have long hands like i do. It matches all of the aluminum products beautifully and is definitely worth getting if you enjoy a matching home entertainment system.

Cons- 19 dollars always seemed a bit steep to me for a simple remote, but I still think it's a great piece of hardware.

I like it. It is nice.

The new length and weight gives it a nice feel. The menu button and play button are still different, but the middle is still able to be used as the select button. It seems like there is redundancy and for the sake of design the extra button was added.

It matches my MBA which is what I got it for. However it seems to be all design and no functionality.

That is my take on it. The old plastic one is still nice.

This is way bigger (longer) than I thought. This new remote is about an inch longer than the previous gen. Unlike the rumor about the clickwheel, the wheel is just a four-way button :( Don't understand the reason of having one more button that just makes the remote ugly. Battery cover on the back is especially ugly.

The design is pretty. The weight is nice. But, the brushed metal finish feels bad in my hand in a way that makes me uncomfortable to touch it in the same way that it's uncomfortable to hear fingernails on a chalkboard.

If all they did was smooth it out or go back to the old plastic it wouldn't have this problem. It makes me wonder if they actually tested it out with various people to see what their reaction to the feel of it is instead of just the look.

I'll be returning mine or will be happy to trade for the old one if I can find one.

The nicest feature of the last plastic version, was precisely that you can stick it to the built-in magnets of the screen... Although aluminum is more resistant hehe :)

IT'S ALUMINUM - A NON Ferrous metal -
Translation - No iron content - ie, non magnetic.

or for the laymen - It won't stick o other metal.
