New iOS Remote app will offer all abilities from Apple TV Siri Remote

I missed this part of the keynote. Did he say whether Siri commands via the Remote app would work with the old Apple TV 3 or is that capability limited to use with the current hardware?

This will make controlling apple music on apple tv while sitting on the patio listening via zone 2 on real speakers a real pleasure.

I love Apple - iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, MBP, iTouch ATV. <3
Working at day job to pay for Apple toys so missed keynote - will we be able to use a keyboard with Apple TV or just Siri?
Had new ATV since launch 2015.

1. Apple CS can't find out what's going on- Back & forward on ATV still not functioning right.
2. Home sharing cuts out in the middle of a stream and you have to reset & restart movie because ATV doesn't remember where it left off.
3. I've checked all my user functions that might impact and worked with Apple CS and still not resolved.
4. Hoping for an update/fix soon? :'(

I wondered that too. I would think the remote would work with the ATV 2 & 3, but Siri might be a bit harder. On the other hand ... if Siri merely converts the voice commands into data on the iPhone and sends the commands over to the ATV, then perhaps with a minor software update it will work with the 3. Possibly even the 2, but since they no longer support it, that would only work if there's no update involved.

WITHOUT Siri on iPhone and iPad being able to do the basics - play a local (stored on the physical device being used) media file - SIRI Is USELESS AS A BAG OF HAMMERS. And on MY five Apple devices, that bitch has been turned OFF !!!
