Key Points:
- The Apple TV 4K can control TV power and volume, but it lacks native input switching functionality, requiring users to switch inputs via the TV remote.
- A workaround allows users to program the Apple TV Siri remote's mute button to cycle through TV inputs by using the "Learn New Device" feature in settings, sacrificing the mute function.
- TVs or AV receivers with HDMI-CEC support enable users to control basic Apple TV functions using their TV or receiver remote, though advanced features like voice search still need the Siri remote or an iOS device.
- iPhones and iPads can be set up to control Apple TV through the Control Center Apple TV Remote feature, providing an alternative to the physical remote.
