According to The New York Times, the new controller will feature just two buttons to ensure it retains Apple's philosophy for simplicity and ease of use and is expected to make its debut, alongside the new Apple TV that it will control, at the company's WWDC conference in June.

As well as a new method of navigation, the 2015 Apple TV set top box is also tipped to feature voice commands, Siri personal assistant integration, its own suite of apps and, crucially a new cord-cutting, internet-based subscription TV service.
