Experts stated that this code hints that there will be a fourth generation of the advanced Siri remote. Aside from this, there is also the code "WirelessRemoteFirmware.4."

If this is true, then Apple users can easily find the new Siri remote if ever they lose the device. But, how true is this? Here's what experts claim about the new iOS 16 beta reference codes.
According to Digital Trends, there's no reason why the code "SiriRemote4" would appear on the new iOS 16 beta since Apple TV relies on tvOS.

People familiar with the iPhone maker's work claimed that this code appeared on the smartphone system because Apple plans to add a new feature to the fourth-gen Siri remote.
They added that the new function would be compatible with the Find My feature (the tracking app designed to work with AirTags), which iPhone users can really benefit from.
Love this from @nomadgoods! A leather case for the Apple TV’s Siri Remote complete with a space for an AirTag pocket. Mostly I like the extra size, makes it more comfortable to hold, and it doesn’t slip about so much either. pic.twitter.com/j8N8dNFOlk— Andy Boxall (@AndyBoxall) June 7, 2022

But, Apple hasn't confirmed this detail yet. If ever the tech manufacturer really embeds the AirTag device into the new TV Siri remote, it can easily do this since this tracking tech has a very small size.
