Today’s thing is an AppleTV Remote control. This got water damaged a while ago and has been sitting on my desk waiting for me to repair it. After a half-hearted attempt, I decided to boil it in acid instead. Wait wait wait… I suppose I should show a pictures of the remote before the disassembly process started:
Could it be the IR is to do with using the remote on a Mac laptop as well as on the Apple TV? I remember a few years back that there were Apple remotes for people plugging their Mac laptops to their TVs, then being able to stop/play the media while sat on the couch. No such need if you have an Apple TV, but maybe people can still use them on their laptop if they give a presentation?
