Is the Apple TV 4 at home? Be careful of the remote control!

It's this week, Friday no more
precisely, that the first buyers of the new Apple TV were able to
unpack it and put it into use in the living room. We were ablesee it together
photos in this article, the accessories supplied are rather few in number,
but among them there is one of importance: the famous touch remote control
with microphone for voice control.

This one, small, fine and pleasant in the hand, has two particularities which must
encourage you to take care of it, more than traditional remote controls...

So, for those who haven't been to the Apple site, know everything
firstly that the remote control is particularly expensive for anyone who comes to
have to replace it. In fact, it is sold at the price of89
euros!

You have calculated correctly, it is neither more nor less thanhalf of the
price of the Apple TV + remote set!

At this price, there is no question of losing it in the sofa cushions... But this
is not all. Indeed, like the iPhone and the iPad, you will have to take
care.

Indeed, it is not necessarily obvious to the touch, but the front side,
touchscreen on its upper part, ismade of glass…
However, the sides are not particularly protected, so in the event of a fall on
tiles, the glass is particularly exposed.

And
Reddit forum memberpaid the price and after a fall, he
found the (now) precious accessorythe front face exploded into
a thousand pieces. He indicates that it remains usable, but beware of
pieces of glass...

We understand better why Apple sells a strap (15 euros!) so as not to
escape the control accessory during games and we can already imagine a market
thriving for accessory manufacturers: the remote control case
Apple TV. Somehad it
well anticipated!

We have been warned: beware and beware of playful children...
