If you own an Apple TV remote, then you know how essential it is to keep it charged. In this post, we’ll guide you through the charging process for all three generations of Apple TV remotes.
The first step is to make sure that your Apple TV remote needs to be charged. You should see a notification on your TV when the battery needs to be recharged. Alternatively, you can check by going to your Settings, then Remotes and Devices and Remote.
Once you’ve determined that your remote needs charging, it’s time to charge it. For the first-generation black remote and the second-generation remote, there is a lightning port at the bottom for charging. For the third-generation remote, which was released in 2022, there is a USBC port.
For the first and second-generation remotes, Apple includes a USB to lightning cable in the package. If you don’t have the cable, you can purchase it separately. Simply plug in the cable and charge the remote. It should take about three hours to fully charge, and you can use it while it’s being charged.
For the third-generation remote, you’ll need to purchase a USBC to USBC cable and a USBC plug separately, as they are not included in the package. If you already have these, you can use them to charge your remote. If not, we recommend purchasing them to make the charging process smoother.
In conclusion, charging your Apple TV remote is a straightforward process. Make sure to keep your remote charged to avoid any interruptions in your binge-watching session.
