Apple today released the tvOS 14.5 beta 5. Changes in the update found by MacRumors contributor Steve Moser include all mentions of the “Siri Remote” being removed and replaced with “Apple TV Remote.”Apple also changes the name of the “Home Button” to the “TV Button” (since that’s what those of us who’ve long ago mapped that button to the Apple TV app call it anyway).

The Siri Remote has always been the Apple TV Remote in countries where Siri functionality is not available on the Apple TV, but now Apple is using the Apple TV Remote wording in countries where the remote was previously referred to as the Siri Remote.
Apple is rumored to be working on a new version of the Apple TV that’s set to come out this year, and it will be accompanied by a refreshed remote control with Find My capabilities. Little else is known about the remote at this time.
tvOS 14.5 also renames the “Home Button” under the “Remotes and Devices” section to “TV Button,” but the functionality is ultimately the same and can be set to go to the Apple TV app or the Home Screen.
