Anyone who knows the Siri remote control has certainly looked for it several times. Now one could have expected that Apple would therefore use its airtags for the new Siri remote. Not even close.
Has Apple made the second generation Siri remote for Apple TV thicker so you can find it more easily? Yes, said Apple Vice President Tim Twerdahl in an interview published on Friday Mobile syrup. Amazing.
He considers an air tag for the Siri remote to be dispensable. It is a good deal thicker and so it cannot easily disappear between the couch cushions. Therefore it does not have to be found by other network devices. The user can do this all by himself.
At Apple they have a lot of ideas for the new airtags. And of course the find function is very powerful, but designed for use outside the home. Over a billion devices worldwide can use the network to help users find things again.
