Update to yesterday's macOS update: "Apple appears to have released a revised version of the security update, which is valid for systems running both macOS 10.13.0 and 10.13.1. The revised version may also address the issue in the original version that resulted in file sharing problems".

<rant> The Apple TV Remote is a piece of crap. Some say its a clever functional device, it is to a extent. But if you are a cord cutter streaming tv from Direct tv Now (DTVN) for example, its a PITA. The touch pad is the Culprit. Those who use it for streaming tv know what I'm talking about. Apple added a white ring around the Menu button on the TV4 remote which helped orient the position of the tiny slippery remote, fine. But the touch pad with just the slightest mishandling or the slightest brush of the touch pad will flip the channel or drop the streaming app, or pause a movie. And scrolling through channels is not what most of us channel surfers would describe as a pleasant experience.
I have been using this thing for years and have yet to master the crappy thing. I could strangle the stupid engineers who designed it.

I agree. I don’t understand why they haven’t fixed this remote there have been complaints from the very beginning.

Ditto. The most un-Apple of all of its products.

Here is a video interview with the president of Alivecor, the company mentioned earlier that just brought out the Apple Watch band that enables EKG monitoring on your wrist. (Apologies for the forced ad viewing, but I guess we're all used to that by now)

So I'd say the minimalist design is very Apple - as opposed to the 60 button monster remotes that come with every other TV/device. On the negative side I'd say the Remote is too slippery, too easy to hold wrong and too sensitive on the touch screen esp w/re to inadvertent presses and swipes. Overall though, it works pretty well for us . . .

I must say, I do have the previous remote. True, it is minimalist, a very good thing.
The new Siri remote looks quite cool, and the possible use of Siri to control things is wonderful.
