how do i use iphone12 as remote for appletv 3rd gen?
You can use the software remote on iPhone, but you’ll still need a functional remote to help set it up, for that model.
Set up the Apple TV Remote on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
For the Apple TV (3rd generation), your options are:
- buy a replacement Apple Remote (aluminum);
- temporarily borrow an Apple Remote (aluminum) to help set up the software remote;
- restore the Apple TV and connect a wireless keyboard to help set up the software remote;
- restore the Apple TV and connect the CiderTV Mac app to help set up the software remote.
