Unfortunately Apple TV remotes are a nightmare to use. The touch UX is an absolute pain.

On the Apple TV 2021 4K's remote you can disable the touch and just use the buttons, like I have done. Works a treat.

Use your phone as the remote. I agree the ones they ship are dreadful.

The new one is great - your complaint is an old one.

Yep. But can we expect everyone to spend $$$ to upgrade their Apple TV boxes for this or can we be allowed to complain a little when we bought the old device for Christmas last year?

PS: I don't actually complain :-) I'm a recent convert and compared to Chromecast I find Apple TV a massive upgrade.

The 2nd generation Siri remote adds click support back in again.
