Software update for Apple TV 3 tomorrow?

agreed, could be a limitation in ram or just overall processing power that the A5 is not capable of handling the new interface, such a shame but i guess it is what it is.

one question, the new apple tv 4 can be controlled with a harmony remote ?(IR) , because i read the new apple tv 4 remote uses bluetooth and my harmony remote is only IR

ATV4 has Bluetooth and IR, don't know if it works with Harmony though.

Nope

it should as the ATV 3 remote has been reported to work with ATV 4

They did update the ATV 3 with the new iOS look, so who knows if any further updates are planned.

It may be that they will add Apple Music support in the future, I think it's worth doing for them to expand the potential audience for Apple Music. It's not something that would be high on the task list though, compared to launching the new ATV 4.

So they get the benefit of pushing the shiny new ATV 4 at launch, then later add Apple Music support to ATV 3 to try to retain all those free 3-month trial subscribers.
