Apple has refreshed its Siri Remote with an integrated speaker that can be made to ring when the device is lost, according to Trendhunter. Users can activate the alert through Siri voice commands or the Find My app, and the remote also supports Precision Finding, which provides on‑screen arrows and distance data via a compatible iPhone or Apple Watch.
The speaker‑equipped remote works with existing Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD units, so owners do not need to replace their streaming boxes. It is priced at $59 on Apple’s online store, with pre‑orders beginning now and shipments slated to start on Friday, November 13.
