Last April, Apple presentedits new TV box capable of delivering 4K definition on a big screen for around two hundred euros. This comes with a homemade remote control, which can also be purchased separately but for the tidy sum of sixty-five euros in store. An amount not always accessible to everyone, especially since alternatives exist for free on the App Store.
In France, the low-cost operator Free has also imagined its own solution to control the latest Apple TV 4K. We find almost the same configuration of buttons, but this time at a lower cost of almost forty-five euros. The only downside: to purchase this accessory, you must already be a subscriber to this internet service provider. In fact, the product is only available in its members area.
What are the differences with the real Siri Remote?
There is actually a very simple way to take advantage of this advantage, although it is reserved for Free customers. To do this, simply subscribe to the famous two-euro mobile plan which has made Xavier Niel's firm famous. When this is done, all you have to do is connect tothis linkto select the brand's remote control for Apple TV 4K at 19.99 euros. Otherwise, it is always possible to choose a box if necessary. And to avoid a potential overload the following month, termination is quickly possible thanks to the absence of commitment.
Note that the device offered by Free is somewhat different from the original. Already in terms of design, since it is entirely black where the real Apple Siri Remote is rather gray. The dial has also changed location: it is located lower on the less expensive item. Finally, there are more shortcuts including a versethe proprietary Oqee software interfacewhich uses more or less the same codes as tvOS or webOS (LG).
Advantages and disadvantages of Free
With its aggressive pricing policy, Free is considered one of the best operators on the market for small budgets. Seethis comparison to discover its different offers, broken down according to the quantity of mobile data provided in 4G.
The only downside: according to many users, the download speed - or upload speed - can be quite capricious with this company's antennas. Good to know, especially for series fans.
