They had to photoshop their own product into a stock photo at an incorrect scale? Why does an Apple TV remote need a strap?
I've had an Apple TV since the original release and I can't say I've ever lost the remote. It's always where I put it or somewhere within about 2ft of the couch.
Or you can just use your iPhone or iPad as a remote.
Or moved the bump towerds the bottom to make it a little more 'ergonomic'. Or something... It's a start. I'm sure plenty of others will be flooding the market soon.
It's not exactly 'intuitive', but then neither is the actual remote. *shrug*
Gorilla Glue? Hey, at least it doesn't look like people will be losing the AirTags. I was hooked on gaffer tape, but it doesn't work on so many surfaces, and isn't very long lasting either. Disappointed...
Pretty sure the people this product is for doesn't put the remote on anything flat. They seem more like the type to just toss it on the couch and hope they can find it later.
Bingo! It would act as a gateway drug for increased follow-on sales once people get experience with the find-me functionality.
because people haven't been losing remotes for decades right....
I’ll probably need to take down an entire wall to get that thing inside my house
Just wrap it with tape to a 2x4. It will be hard to lose it.
Lol. The couch will get lost inside the remote
Attaching a rope or chain works, too.
Huge, yes. But it doesn’t look loose. Appears to hold everything quite tightly.
Here's an alternate solution to the lost remote problem: 1, look under the papers you put on the coffee table. 2. look in between the sofa cushions and pillows. (if all else fails) 3, go to bed, wake up, tomorrow see remote sitting on a counter right where you had last set it down.
Low tech problem solving at it's finest.

How could anyone not want to buy one of these things and be this happy!
But isn't complaining this is a first world problem the very definition of first world problem?
Why doesn't Samsung or Google buy Tile and put it in all their personal devices for free? For that matter why doesn't Tile just give their product away for free??
