Apple today released its fourth beta for Apple TV firmware 7 along iOS 8 beta 5 and Yosemite beta 5. Developers that upgraded to the latest beta have noticed a UI refresh that brings an iOS 7 look and feel with updated icons and thinner texts.
The new icons are much flatter and match the look that iOS 7 brought last fall. Apple originally redesigned the Apple TV firmware back in 2012, bringing a UI that Steve Jobs reportedly hated.
Check out the images below to see the new look!

Who really cares, but looks nicer and sharper. Won't change a thing

iOS 7 changed a thing when the new look came out, how we feel with a better style rather than recycling the same look, performance, and possible bug fixes. Even if it just was for new look only, it still changes things.

Give us a good DLNA clients like Kodi(XBMC), Plex or Air Video.

What good can you offer than? Apple offered newer icons that gives a new look rather than living with the same old ones, plus it's clean, and it's as clean as its performance, iOS 7 gave some things a boost from iOS 6 so maybe this can do the same.

Yet innovative than tasteless windows 8. Even the colors bring out the style, and by that I mean some with textures rather than the same color in any part of the icons. No lazy shit there.

absolutely true. simplicity is awesome and apple knows as the best how to keep software and hardware simple and yet so extremely useful! windows 8 and even the xbox has a lot of things that feel frustrating.

Tbh I hate windows too. It's pretty useless and isn't very power efficient. I have a Sony Vaio with quad intel i5 and it doesn't feel as fast and as fresh as a mac running OS X Yosemite. Everything with apple is organised and simple. The only thing to be refreshed now is a new iPod Nano 7th Gen interface!

Well said. The apple haters can suck it. They're always jealous of what we have.
