Really? You put it back in the same place every single time? You need to come over and teach us how to do that...........
Surely you use your iPhone or tablet ( if you have them ) to enter passwords in? I pretty much only use my phone / watch / Siri for the apple TVs.
I am surprised they don't use a motion control remote like the LGs
But they JUST made the remote bigger and thicker... now we need them to do it again? I wouldn't hold your breath for any number of years on that personallyNext version will have Find My support.
Or Apple will just make it thicker and bigger so it'll be harder to misplace/lose. 🤷♂️ Shouldn't be too difficult now that Jony Ive is gone.
Apple Exec: New Apple TV Remote Doesn't Need Find My Because It's Thicker and Harder to Lose
Apple has been promoting the new M1 iMac, M1 iPad Pro, and second-generation Apple TV 4K following their announcements, and Apple's vice...www.macrumors.com
Would have been nice if it were present. Maybe it will happen with the next update to Apple TV.
I can imagine this is a cost decision.
The slim marginal help from a finger groove, on top of which not all hands are created equal in size.
I have a rubber case for my Apple Remote. Possibly the best. Because I drop it in the keep damaging the glass (previously) & metal, and fluorescent for easy finding when the family misplaces it…. ALL FHE TIME

Neon colored rubber grip case and throw in an AirTag. Never fails when the kids lose it. You're welcome.
I've had every version of Apple TV. That said they all have been "good enough". They get the job done. The remotes have sucked every single time, garbage. The user interface looks apple and looks great but is just weird. In trying to make it simple it is weird and complex and typing to search is garbage and voice activating search you never know what you'll get the actual in-app search you want, or the search of the whole Apple system that pops up at the bottom. The goofy touch interface that lags sucks. I fumble around using this crap remote, with lagging, weird, interface and keep going because it is all I have and I am a slave to the Apple system. End of old man rant.
Things Apple should have provided. Seems even the new AirPods Pro case has more features.
