Apple continues to update its products, big and small. The Siri Remote for Apple TV (2nd gen) is no different. Even a remote control can be wirelessly updated with new firmware when it becomes available.

By the end of the month, several Apple devices are set to join the official vintage products list.

Products seven years or older are considered obsolete, which means they are no longer serviced by Apple or any Apple Authorized Service Providers.
