Third-generation Apple TV receives a minor software update

Apple is focused on pushing its fourth-generation Apple TV with the Siri Remote and built-in App Store, but that doesn't mean the company has forgotten about owners of the older third-generation Apple TVs.

Thursday, a minor over-the-air Apple TV 7.2.1 software update was released for the $69 third-generation Apple TV.

The firmware update can be applied through the Software Update mechanism in the device's Settings menu.
