Apple's latest product showcase unveiled a solution to a common living room annoyance: losing your remote. The new Siri Remote for Apple TV 4K includes a built-in speaker that emits an audible chime when activated via voice command or Find My app. This feature, combined with Precision Finding that provides directional cues on your iPhone or Apple Watch, makes it far easier to locate a misplaced remote.
