Apple stops including charging cable for Siri Remote in the box of new Apple TV

Apple announced its next-generation Apple TV today, featuring the A15 Bionic chip, HDR10+ support, and more for a new, more affordable starting price.
With the new set-top-box, Apple is also releasing a new Siri Remote, which comes bundled with the new Apple TV 4K, with the same design and functionality as the previous generation, but adopts USB-C for charging, and is compatible with all generations of Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD.
However, with the new Apple TV 4K, Apple has stopped including the charging cable in the box for the Siri Remote unlike previous models that have always included a charging cable in the box, forcing users who don’t already have a USB-C charging cable to purchase one separately to recharge their TV remote.
The next generation Apple TV 4K offers “impressive cinematic quality driven by the A15 Bionic chip,” says Apple, delivering faster performance and more fluid gameplay. HDR10+ support joins Dolby Vision on Apple TV 4K, offering movies and TV shows in the best quality possible across more supported HDR10+ TVs, and up to 50 percent faster performance over the previous model.
