If you think it is necessary to attach one of the new AirTags to your Siri Remote , because you spend too much time looking for it every time you need it, then you are in luck. They have created a case that you can print with a 3D printer to place one of these Apple locators a little more efficiently.
How to add an AirTag to the Apple TV remote in an aesthetic way
If you have an Apple TV, surely the Siri Remote will have been lost on occasion. At home it happens frequently, although it is always in the same place: between the cushions. That is why we do not believe that it is necessary to place one of the recent AirTags presented by Apple.
Of course that is our case, maybe for you it is interesting to be able to do it. Because you spend more time looking for it and because it is not always in the same place. So yes, you may be interested in this 3D case that they have designed for the current Siri Remote of the fourth and fifth generation Apple TVs. That is, the HD and 4K models prior to the current model where the control is completely different.
The only downside you will have to assume is that the Siri Remote itself loses the attractive minimalist and transparent aesthetic that it has always offered to go even more voluminous. Nor is it that it is a drama or a junk in what it is going to become, but it must be taken into account if you are one of those who prioritize design over functionality.
To make this case, all you need is a 3D printer or someone who has one and can print the case for you. And also buy the STL file that is sold at a price of 1.99 euros if you do not want to complicate designing your own. Although if you want less complications, you could also buy it already printed online. Surely soon you will see many more with even better finishes in online stores.
Once you have the case in your possession, put the AirTag in the hole designed for this purpose and that’s it. You only have to configure it and when you lose it again you will only have to resort to Find My and your iPhone to locate it. And if it is an iPhone with a U1 chip, much better because you can take advantage of the search with precision.
Is it necessary to add an AirTag to almost everything?
It is very curious to see how, after many years selling the Tile and other similar locators, it is now with the launch of the AirTags that a kind of crazy state seems to have been created to attach one to anything that comes to mind. Something that if you wonder if it is really necessary or not, you may have a clear answer: no.
Even so, it is true that here each one does what he thinks is appropriate and seems best to him. If there are those who want to place an Airtag on each of the main objects and then put them in a backpack with their respective AirTag also placed, then go ahead.
Anyway, considering that despite not having an exorbitant price, it is still worth stopping to think about where the use of an AirTag really brings real value. Because seen how they work, they can help you in case of loss, but it is much easier to deactivate than what is the locking mechanism of the iPhone or iPad.
