Q: I'm wanting to purchase an Apple TV and had a question.
I have an iPhone 4 and want to connect it to an apple tv, to listen to my music. My question is: on the locked screen, when I slide up to display the controls, the airplay option isn't there. Is this because the iPhone has to see the apple tv before the option appears, or should the option still be on the iPhone without an apple tv in sight? Here's a screen shot of what I see. FYI: phones software version is 7.1.2
iPhone 4, iOS 7.1.2

The Airplay option only appears if there is something to send the stream to. Since you don't yet have the ATV and apparently have nothing else Airplay capable. it's not going to appear.
