Says 2 hours, but I don't see the usual circle of "download buffering/loading webpage" if you know what I mean. For those of you that have already done the update, did you see it?
100% agree. Once the signing window closes you can't install a previous firmware.
It just got some channels added...not an actual iOS update that is expected soon.
No. There hasn't been a new software update to Apple TV in many months. Don't confuse new apps being added with a software update. They are not the same.
Yes, there is a very small window after a new iOS version is released where they still sign the old version. It could be as short as a few hours, or as long as a few days. After that, they stop signing the old version, and you can no longer install it.
The worst part is having to download iOS 7 once for each device type you have. In may case it's only 2 devices, but for some families that have several different iOS devices bought over a few years may need to download iOS 7 several times.
Goodbye screen is not apple feature, you will get it on your samsungKeep us updated when the GOODBYE screen gets here.
I've been using it for the past 15 minutes, and my opinions of it are...
...mixed.
Barring a couple of things here and there, I do like the new UI. The new multitasker is so, so much better than the previous one.
What I don't like is how it's made my iPad 3 chunkity, not quite as smooth, and occasionally unresponsive. Just changing wallpapers can sometimes lead to 5-6 second freeze ups. Other times I have to press buttons multiple times before I get a response.
So...
UI? Pretty alright. I haven't played with it enough yet, but I could see it growing on me.
Performance? Not impressed. At all.

Agreed....it's so much better how Android balances the load by having most manufacturer's phones/tablets/etc. not easily upgradeable.
Actually, for Google's Nexus phones, they are able to rollout OS updates gradually so it doesn't kill their servers. Apple should really consider it.
Google even allows it for their app store as well which is great for developers worried about pushing out buggy updates.
i rather like it. especially the way i can wish list songs i like to maybe buy later.
but my one beef is that we can't see anything about the general info of a station. what genres, what artists. one thing i loved about lala.com that I had hoped Apple would restore was being able to look at an artist and create a playlist sampling of their stuff. or even see a list of similar artists and create a sampling of that whole group. I would like to see that back. And perhaps bring back the whole follow users features. I would love to see what playlists others have created and play them as a station (perhaps then branching off into other tracks similar to the ones on the list).
So much they could do with that, these genre experts, some better metadata and all the genius/match data.
Paranoid with a bit of delusion. Apple WON'T install something without the download going perfectly. They have at least something as simple as an MD5 checksum check that has to be correct before they start. In some cases you'll see a message like 'verifying download'. My iPad2 update is just about finished off of Wi-Fi.
