It won't be bluetooth as these aren't bluetooth devices. But yes, the other radio.

Same here. Open the TV Remote app on my iPhone, and don't see anything resembling Find My.
When they say “Siri Remote”, are they talking about the current aluminum version with the Siri button on the side?
Or will this also work with the black glass version with the trackpad?

doesn’t look like it’s available right now, I can’t see the remote as well
It’s there, but no on-screen controls are present. When the Remote app is open, you can use the volume buttons on your iPhone/iPad to control volume on your TV!
Likely Bluetooth time of flight, they do the same to approximate the distance between the Apple Watch and a Mac for the unlock feature.
Nice QOL addition for sure, but I'm pretty good at not misplacing my remote.
I’m not seeing any find my remote feature. I wonder if it requires a remote firmware update.
Works when I've used the phone app. Plus I appreciate having an actual keyboard screen pop up in search fields.
The joke's on them; I already bought a remote cover with a holder for an AirTag for both of my Siri Remotes...
Wait a second.
Wait a second.
Volume is supported for airplay speakers, not for anything else because obviously your phone doesn’t have an IR blaster.
This is not true. Volume control is supported via HDMI.
It'll likely work similar to how the 'Find My' feature works on AirPods Pro 1st gen - relying on bluetooth signal strength so it isn't the most accurate and usually takes a while to connect. Maybe the 3rd generation remote will get a U1 chip.
This feature doesn't seem to be implemented yet, as I see nothing in the beta 1 remote app.
I know where my remote is. Fell between the cushions of my sectional and slipped right into the groove connecting two of the seats. So, in other words: lost forever unless I take apart my entire living room.
