News Summary

• If you find that the battery level of the Siri Remote is getting low, or if it is no longer responsive because it's out of power completely, you can plug a Lightning or USB-C cord — as appropriate for your model — into the end of the remote.
• The original model sported a black remote identical to the previous Apple TV HD's remote, with a microphone button on the front to use Siri.
• The latest 3rd-gen model's remote replaces the Lightning port with USB-C. For all of these Apple TV 4K models, the procedure for checking the battery level of the Siri remote is the same.
• If for some reason the remote becomes completely unresponsive and can no longer be recharged, you can purchase a replacement Apple TV Remote from Apple or authorized resellers.
• If you have a first-generation Siri Remote, you will press and hold the Menu button and volume up (+) button together for about two seconds.
• The later generations use a redesigned silver remote with a Siri button on the side.
