Start Apple Tv Without Remote Control. A long press on the power button (more than two seconds), allows you to switch off only the apple tv. The apple tv remote in control centre works with apple tv 4k, apple tv hd, and apple tv (3rd generation).
But i have no way to control it. The apple tv remote works well enough but many people detest having multiple remote controls and prefer to control their entire media center experience from a single input. Not having a remote can make an initial set up of your apple tv difficult.
After being set up, and if your iphone or ipad is running ios 12 or later, there is a control center widget that can control the streaming device.
Ios remote app apple has a free remote app for both iphone and ipad that you Enter apple under manufacturer and apple tv under the model; I did not bring the remote that came with the apple tv as i was going to do it all with the iphone. However, even if you are setting it up for the first time, or setting it up as new, there are ways to make this work without a remote.
