It is well known that one of the top complaints about Apple’s last Siri Remote for its Apple TV was its ability to get itself lost in the abyss of living rooms. Apple could have fixed this with its second-generation Siri remote by adding, for instance, a handy dandy AirTag. Apparently though, the company thought that since its new remote is a bit thicker, it wouldn’t get lost.
Apple Vice President Tim Twerdahl said as much in an interview with Mobile Syrup published on Friday. When asked about whether Apple considered adding some AirTag-like technology to the remote, which the interviewer admitted he lost in his couch cushions frequently, Twerdahl said there because the new Siri remote is thicker, the need to have other network devices find it seemed lower.
