Apple TV HD with First First-Gen Siri Remote Lands on Vintage Hardware List

18 JULY 2022 - A piece of Apple hardware has gone vintage, though figuring out which one might take a minute. A piece from MacRumors says the Apple TV HD with the original Siri remote has hit the list. This is one of Apple TV’s largely glass remotes. According to the report:

When the Apple TV HD was first released in 2015, it came with a first-generation Siri Remote without a white ring around the Menu button — only units that shipped with this ring-less remote are now considered vintage. Apple added a white ring to the Menu button in 2017 to make the button more prominent when picking up the remote.

What’s funny is, the one with the ring is also considered a first-generation Siri remote. And yet, Apple TVs with which it shipped have not landed on the vintage list.
