Use Your iPhone as a Dedicated Remote

If you have an Apple TV, you probably already know you can use your iPhone as a digital remote if you can’t find your physical remote anywhere.
But if you want to be able to control your Apple TV and still use your iPhone, you can keep your old phone as a dedicated remote for when you want to have something on the TV while using your main iPhone.
Moreover, even if you don’t have an Apple TV, you can still use your old iPhone to watch movies and shows. You can still stream movies and shows from your old iPhone without wasting the battery life of your main iPhone.
