two dollars and the siri button has now been moved to the side another two dollars what won't add any value is the fact that the keyboard remains one-dimensional and lightning charging persists so doing the calculations here um that comes out to about forty dollars which is twenty dollars less than the sixty dollars that apple asks for the remote if you already got in apple tv and are suffering
