Apple has announced that, along with the upgrades to the Apple TV 4K, it has added a USB-C port to the Siri Remote. Full story from the iMore Blog...

As someone with only two devices that use USB-C, a trimmer and a power bank, USB-C on the TV remote is a huge inconvenience for me for the time being.

I can see it make a bit of difference for some but the Siri remote needs very infrequent charging. For me maybe three times in the last year. Imho that makes the charging port mostly inconsequential. I have a couple devices I also dig the charger out for every once and a while. Just not a big deal for device X charger to sit in a small box in a cupboard somewhere, to be used infrequently.

Imho for a Siri remote change to be billed “something we have all been waiting for”, put the U1 chip and a small speaker in it. Allow FindMy, audible pinging, the precision location feature. Now that makes a consequential change and a Siri remote upgrade I’d pay for.
