It’s not an iPod! The white Apple Remote.

It’s not an iPod! 📱 Even if shaped like the first Apple iPods. The white Apple Remote.

The white Apple Remote you got with your 2007 MacBook white was most likely the first-generation Apple Remote, released in 2005. This little white plastic disc was designed to work with Apple’s Front Row media application. Front Row turned your MacBook into a media center, allowing you to play music, movies, and even browse photos from your couch using the remote.
There are a couple reasons why you might have rarely used the remote. First, laptops are inherently portable devices, so the whole idea of controlling it from a distance might not have been that appealing. Second, while Front Row was a novel idea, many users found it clunky and not very intuitive compared to using iTunes or other media players directly.
Even though you might not have used it much, the white Apple Remote was a sign of a time when Apple was pushing the boundaries of how we interacted with our computers. It wasn’t a huge success, but it paved the way for future Apple products like the Apple TV and the Siri Remote.
Do you have AppleRemotes and use them?
