Roku's New Remotes Feature an Apple TV+ Button

Roku today introduced a new Express 4K+ streaming player alongside a new rechargeable Voice Remote Pro with a new Apple TV+ button, as noted by The Verge. Pressing the Apple TV+ button opens the Apple TV app within the Roku platform for quick access to Apple TV+.


The new Voice Remote Pro, priced at $29.99, features a rechargeable battery via micro-USB, hands-free or push-to-talk "Hey Roku" voice control, a lost remote finder feature, and a headphone jack for listening with headphones.

Roku has also added the Apple TV+ button to its new standard remotes, alongside Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ buttons.

Priced at $39.99 in the United States, the new Roku Express 4K+ provides 4K streaming at an affordable price. The streaming player supports AirPlay 2 for wirelessly streaming audio and video from an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, while HomeKit support allows users to control the streaming player with Siri or the Home app on their Apple devices.

With its new Roku OS 10 software release that is now rolling out, Roku is also expanding AirPlay 2 and HomeKit to select HD Roku streaming players and TVs. These features were limited to Roku's 4K devices until now.
