A promotion occasionally visible on the Colombian App Store suggests Apple will soon be releasing an updated version of the Remote app that allows control of Apple TV and Mac/PC iTunes installations from iOS devices, complete with an iOS 7 redesign.

It's not the first hint that Apple has a redesign in the works -- some users have noticed that the most recent release of iTunes has a new Remote icon as well.

The last major update to Remote occurred nearly a year ago with support for iTunes 11, with a bug fix release coming this past January. Last week, Apple released updates for Podcasts, iTunes Movie Trailers, and Find My iPhone apps with iOS 7 redesigns, along with redesigned versions of the iWork and iLife suites.

Aside from Remote, iBooks, iTunes U and Find My Friends are also awaiting iOS 7 redesigns.

Remote is a free download from the App Store. [Direct Link]

Thanks Sebastián!

You forgot iBooks, that needs an update too.

I'm thinking (hoping) these get updated tomorrow to coincide with new iPad release.
 
Can't wait. Use this app so much, and it won't stop crashing on iOS 7. I also can't wait to see the new design.
 
Just in time. My remote's battery is dying.

Now how about Find My Friends? #

And when it doesn't crash, it doesn't work properly. On an iPad, it's stuck in portrait, and not all the buttons work. The update can't come soon enough....

I feel ya, I have two tvs and a MBP connected to a stereo, this app is indispensable in my house. I'm hoping for improved connection times, it seems to take 5+ seconds every time I unlock my phone before I can actually do anything. I've had to stop using it since updating to iOS7, that aluminum remote sure looks nice but it isn't that functional.
 
Can't wait for this. The Remote app on iOS7 is a total disaster right now and my audio setup heavily depends on it. I use a MacMini without display as music server, I cannot edit playlists with my iPhone or iPads - the app crashes or tells me that there aren't any songs in the library... - the app won't rotate to landscape anymore on iOS7 and several other bugs.
Instead of messing up the app with the release of iOS7 Apple should have updated this in advance, I know that the remote function is a popular feature for many and it's extremely convenient (when working ;-) ).
 
What are the advantages of using Find my Friends over Foursquare?

On topic, Keynote Remote needs some love as well! Is so cool controlling your presentations with your iPhone ;)
 
I find it funny that Apple still hasn't update Find My Friends when it was the most widely panned app for its skeuomorphism.

Cue the guy wearing the coat with tassels. :p
