"We're working on a new Apple TV remote app that will give you the full functionality of the Siri Remote on your iPhone," Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice president of internet services, told BuzzFeed News. "We're hoping to ship that in the first half of next year."
The company recently added backwards compatibility with the iPhone Remote. The app, however, is designed for older versions of the Apple TV and has not been updated since April 2015.
