I am curious if there is a secret U1 chip in the new AppleTV 4K remote that just isn’t activated, in hopes that it could be with future software updated?

Nope there is no U1 chip which offers ultra-wideband location services, often called UWB in the unit.
Apple made a mistake! They should have put it in so when it slides to the floor or lost in the sofa or bed one could locate it or at least offer a way to enable a beeper so you could enable it from your phone! like you can do from your AppleWatch.

Agreed. I was hoping when a tear down is done, they find secret hardware on it. Definitely should have included it!
@cw1 - It wouldn't make sense to hide it ($$) and Apple stated it was not present.
As it just came out (Friday) no one has it yet (shipped) to take it apart.
I picked one up at my Apple Store on Friday. And by secret, I’m hoping that they think they would enable it later with a software update…..maybe they weren’t ready in time by the time it shipped.
@cw1 - Wish real hard ;-} Apple clearly stated no U1 in the remote.
