Bit of a QA fail there! I can't decide whether it'll bug me enough to return it, or whether I kinda like it. Annoying that the volume button isn't affected.
Anybody else got the same thing?
Got a tip for us?

Also, no wonder they didn't include FindMy capabilities in this thing. You can't lose it because it's so huge!
It may not look so much bigger in the pictures but it feels a lot bigger. I didn't include the Siri Remote in the pictures, it's somewhere in-between but much closer to the old Apple Remote.

For me, being larger is a big plus. Looking forward to receiving my Apple TV and better remote today.
Yeah, I think a lot of people wanted it bigger. It's too big for my little hands; I blame you for it!
Let us know if yours has the same jaunty button angles when it arrives! I would imagine a whole batch must be affected.

Will do... If mine look likes the above, I'll probably ask for a replacement. Need to have it in my hands to decide.
Yeah s***w that. Go into the Apple Store. Buy the new remote (they should have stock today). Take it out of the package IN THE STORE. If it isn't straight, ask for another one. Repeat until you do. Then, return the other remote in that separate packaging within 14 days for your refund.
Edit: And, yes, I'm usually a proponent for not needlessly costing Apple money. BUT - this QA is completely unacceptable!!!
yes I have a similar issue but not as bad as the first one. I don’t think it bother me very much but it’s odd especially from a company like Apple
Mine are only slightly off, never realised untill opening this thread. Tried to pinch the button between my nails and twist, no dice.
that's just hilarious. just return it and get another one if you're willing to wait. reminds me of the time i bought an iPad pro 2020 last year straight from apple and there was a big gouge around the charging port right out of the box and thought it was completely unacceptable. sent it back, got my refund and ordered another one.
I don’t understand what jaunty means and I don’t see anything wrong with the remote. Can someone explain?
Wow if they’re off it’s only like 5 degrees. Y’all are picky af! Lol
This is what the kids call a 1st world problem..
It gives the remote a "whimsical" look.. Keep it ha ha
Well that's kind of a given, we are talking about a $200 streaming box.
It does look like a bit of lack of attention to detail from Apple, but if it was my remote I'd get over it.
In my experience it’s a word that’s only ever used to describe hats when they‘re worn tilted to one side. The buttons reminded me of that.
Anyway, swapped out, second one’s much better:
Possibly still a bit squint, or that might just be an optical illusion. Certainly not worth returning though.
By the way, has anyone figured out how to the the iPod click wheel style scrolling yet?
