Where is the IR sensor location on Apple TV 4K (4th Generation) 2026?

What is the location of the IR sensor on the new Apple TV 4K (4th Generation) releasing in November 2026?

Well, both of those would indicate on the left front...


Apple doesn't participate in these user-to-user forums, except in issues of health/safety.


Here are the tech specs that Apple provides:

I'm curious, why do you need to know more than "it's on the front?"


A quick internet search indicates it's on the front left.

I did the same and got 2 different answers. One answer said "left side" the other said 1/2" left of the light. I was hoping for an exact spec from Apple.

I have an IR repeater system because I hide all system components.
