iOS 7 on Apple TV

[GreyBush]

I've done some searches and see some vague mention of a major update for the apple TV, anyone checked if they have a software update waiting.

Checked last night. Nothing yet.

 

[Analog Revenant]

[GreyBush]

Busy installing now

That's because it's called Apple TV Software Version 6.0. No one said they would change it to iOS 7 UI. This new version adds iTunes Radio (Says for those in US - but I have it on my iOS7 devices, working just fine. )

Also Apple TV's OS is based on iOS version but it isn't iOS - like OS X is based on the Linux kernel but it isn't Linux. People seem to get that part mixed up.

I get that... it would have been nice though.

I tend to agree with you there.

Maybe their decision was based on H/W limitations of some sort?
Then again - iPhone 4 runs iOS7 fine - so maybe not.

Not Linux, Mach kernel with lots of shared code with FreeBSD and NetBSD.
