Few days ago I bought iPhone 13 mini. I kept previous iPhone 12 Pro because it is good to have bigger phone at home. Both work with same Apple ID.
Problem is that most time old iPhone 12 Pro is recognized as primary device. What does it mean? When I tried to sign in to YouTube (on tv or Apple TV) only 12 pro could do it. Same with setup new Apple TV. iPhone 13 mini found device but couldn’t setup. 12 pro has done it after first time.Why did it happen? What should you do to change the order.
 

now i see it

Multiple iPhones usually aren’t a problem for controlling a device, but it seems that the Apple TV is an exception to this rule. I don’t have an Apple TV, so I’m not familiar with it - but if it has a settings menu, carefully check through that.
