I was hoping Apple would unveil one more thing and it would be that the new Siri remote supported Find My.

Apple Exec: New Apple TV Remote Doesn't Need Find My Because It's Thicker and Harder to Lose

I like to think Steve is looking down and laughing at all these memes and saying, “Ya, you got me.”
You have your wife/husband/kids trained well!
But it wasn’t a remote he was looking for! 😉
I’ll send my wife and kids over. Half of the stuff on your table will be gone in two hours.
How many times do you take your TV remote out of the house for a walk?
First Chinese factory to make a silicon remote case with an airtag holder/hole is going to be very popular.
So... nobody at Apple has/had toddlers or young kids, and/or were so rich the staff or Nanny had to find the remotes all the time.
Seems like Apple has their B-squad making statements to the press while the A-squad is busy with the Epic trial.
Whenever it scratches at the door and once before bed.
Be honest and admit it's cost cutting to increase profit.
Bully for you. I think the other posts on this thread suggest you may be in the minority.
When you lose it you should just buy another one.
well people need to work with their kids. If you can't put things back where they go when you're done with them, then you don't get to use them anymore. Basic discipline.
Waiting for Apple Tv Siri Remote S that comes with M1 chip, 8GB Ram, and Find My capability in 2022 for $299.99
I'm NOT sure I buy that argument !
ALL TV remotes need it !

It likely didn’t make it because the air tag release date has been uncertain.
Look, i just connected an AirTag to my couch, because I know that’s where I lost the remote.
Find the couch, find the remote!
Find the couch, find the remote!
What’s interesting is that a few weeks ago, it was discovered that Siri has a programmed response for when you ask it to find your Apple TV remote. Something like “you haven’t added any Siri Remotes to Find My.”
So clearly something at some point was planned or is planned in the future, otherwise why would they program that specific response?

well, I guess it’s been removed now. But still curious why it was programmed to begin with.

2 Apple TV remotes are lost in this house right now. But since I ended up replacing one with a new $60 remote, I guess it’s a win for Apple that I can’t find the other ones.
Because a lot of people live piggy and can’t control their heathen kids.
The true reason - "we wanted profit margins on this remote to be astronomical since every Apple TV owner will upgrade"
Same $60 price, but they no longer need an accelerometer or gyroscope, no more glass trackpad.
They didn't even need to add U1...just a little 2 cent piezoelectric speaker to play the AirTag sound.

Oh cool, I'm glad this will prevent my wife from randomly leaving it somewhere around the first floor of my house or from my kids running off with it and it ending up in their toy box. Or keep it from falling down the crack between my sectional couch and the reclining portions on the end, just like the previous one did inside a thick silicone case. No, that definitely won't happen at all ever.
