Apple TV keeps asking me to hold iPhone by device?
My iPhone is presumably to old to work with 4k Apple TV via Bluetooth?

Greetings Steve M99,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. So we can clarify, are you trying to pair the iPhone with the Apple TV 4K? If so, the iPhone needs to be running iOS 11 or later. The Apple TV needs to be running the latest tvOS. If these conditions are met, follow the steps per the Apple Support article to pair them: Pair your iOS device or Mac with your Apple TV - Apple Support
"Pair your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with your Apple TV
- On your Apple TV, go to Settings > Remotes and Devices > Remote App and Devices.
- Unlock your iOS device and bring it close to your Apple TV.
- When you see a message on your iOS device that says Pair Apple TV, tap Pair.
- On your iOS device, enter the four-digit pin that appears on your TV.
- When paired, your iOS device appears under Devices on your Apple TV."
We hope this helps you.
Feel free to reach back out if you have any questions.
