I thought I'd read that only the Apple TV 3 would be getting the update, but it's loading on my ATV2 at the moment.

Apple TV 2nd Gen seems to have got a 6.2.1 update (SOURCE) whereas the 3rd Gen seems to betting the more substantial 7.0 update.

Yes, the ATV2 doesn't show any visible changes and updated quickly, whereas the update on my ATV3 is taking a very long time to process.

It's uhh...different. The icons, more flat. Seemingly the same options on the main menu. Nothing really obviously different except some new iCloud features.

"Was that Beat Music icon there before?"

Thanks for the update and no there was never a Beats music icon before this.

Much like what we saw in he earlier betas then. Apple had yet to post what is included in the update on their Apple TV page yet, so hopefully we'll see a few more features come to light when that goes live.

Can anyone verify Bluetooth airplay with this update? No more needing wifi connection to airplay.

New update for Apple TV!

Does anyone have problems when trying to use AirPlay from Mac OS X 10.9.4 to Apple TV with new iOS version 7.0?

After downgrade back to iOS 6.x AirPlay is working fine again.
