I have a Harmony, universal remote control from Logitech for my home entertainment system. The battery is starting to go on the remote and Logitech no longer makes universal remotes. I am wondering whether the Apple TV remote built into iOS 18 could replace the harmony universal remote.

The Remote built in to the iPhone is largely only useful with the Apple TV.
There are apps in the App Store that puport to work as universal remotes. And, some devices have their own apps. I have one for my Samsung TV to use in an emergency when the cat steals the remote.
Also, no devices that rely on IR would work (unless you got adapters).
