I’m considering getting a used Apple TV, but was wondering if I need to buy a remote?

I have an iPhone 12, as well as some Bluetooth video game controllers, do those work as alternatives?

    Yes you can use your phone, but only after the initial setup, to join wifi and login with Apple ID.

    After that you can put your remote in a drawer and forget about it, well until you need to do setup again, although I have never done that in 3 years.

    The remote comes with it, so it’s’ not as if you have to buy one, and the setup is literally a few minutes.

    Don’t overthink this.
