Now iTV from Apple on the works

Now iTV from Apple on the works

Wait, an iTV is on the way. It's no secret that Apple wants to expand its presence into the living room from personal devices by making its own TV set. Now, an analyst says he's learned that the set will go on sale late this year, for $1,500 to $2,500. The "iTV" will be 60 inches on the diagonal, but could also come in 50- and 55-inch versions. Apple will also release a small "iRing" that fits on the viewer's finger, allowing the user to control the screen by pointing, White says.

In addition, the set will come with tablet-like "mini iTVs" with 9.7-inch screens, the same as the full-size iPad, White said. The "iTV" will be able to send video to the smaller screens wirelessly around the house. The concept is similar to the way in which cable and satellite TV companies are starting to let their set-top boxes send video to iPads and other tablets.


Earlier there were reports that Apple is developing a TV that is likely to sport an Ultra HD 4K display (3840 x 2160). According to the sources, a standalone Apple TV set could launch by the end of this year. The sources added that Apple is banking on LG Display to be able to mass produce Ultra HD TV panels by the second half of the year.

White says his report is based on gleanings from visits with unnamed Chinese and Taiwanese companies that supply Apple with components.

Apple doesn't comment on future products before its launch events, but late company co-founder Steve Jobs told biographer Walter Isaacson that he wanted to remake the TV and had figured out a way to do it. Last year, there were numerous analyst reports that said Apple would launch a TV set in 2012.

Apple already have the "Apple TV", a small box that connects to a TV to display movies and shows from iTunes and various cloud based services.
