But you don’t need to use the remote, iPhone or Apple Watch both do very well. I don’t bother with the remote at all anymore.
And the first generation remote hasn’t been in use for a long while now, anyway.

The general layout for the remote the parent poster was talking about was discontinued in May of 2021 (last being the Siri 1st gen remote), so it wasn't that long ago.
And it seems to have been revived somewhat by samsung... at least my friends new remote from them has definite feel of apple TV remote v1.
