Report: Leaked Code Suggests Apple Is Developing New Remote for Apple TV

Major changes may be coming to Apple TV soon. According to leaked iOS 14 code obtained by 9to5Mac, the upgrade indicated that the tech giant is working on “a new Apple TV remote.” 9to5Mac notes that the Siri Remote has been contentious with users in the past.

The leaked code also showed that iOS 14 will feature a new workouts application developed for Apple TV. The app will allow users “to download exercises and workouts and be coached via the Apple TV. All data will sync to Apple Watch, while Apple Music integration will allow users to listen to their own music during the workouts,” according to 9to5Mac.

In addition, 9to5Mac also found that the company’s highly anticipated AirTags — tracking tiles that use Bluetooth connectivity to find lost items — will potentially “be able to be set up in bulk through iOS and that there will be a user-replaceable battery, much like Tile item trackers.”
