A while back, we showed what happens to an Apple Watch when it hits a tile floor.

Turns out, your Apple TV remote is similarly susceptible to hard surfaces.

From this Reddit thread:

Roommate had it on his lap while sitting on the couch and it dropped onto the floor (tiled) and completely shattered. I couldn’t believe it, looked like it got ran over by a car.

I really should’ve bought the Apple Care. Luckily my roommate says he’ll gladly pay for a new remote.

Here’s the shattered Apple TV remote. Crazy to think you might need a case for your remote.
