Apple planuieste lansarea unui televizor care sa ruleze iOS in 2012

VentureBeat raporteaza, conform mai multor surse, ca Apple planuieste intr-adevar sa lanseze un televizor Apple care sa ruleze iOS, incepand cu anul 2012.

Au fost mai multe speculatii privitoare la televizorul Apple, iar unele rapoarte mai vechi sustineau ca acesta urma sa fie lansat anul acesta. VentureBeat tocmai a reinoit aceste speculatii. Iata ce sustine raportul lor:

Multiple reports, as well as sources interviewed by VentureBeat, support the rumor, which is widespread among the gadget industry.

  • Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster, a longtime Apple analyst, predicts that Apple will produce a television in  late 2012 or early 2013. In an interview with VentureBeat, Munster cited multiple sources, including component suppliers as well as an internal Apple source, to back up his theory. Munster predicts this will be an actual TV, not just a set-top box, and most likely running a version of iOS. (Note: Munster made a similar claim in 2009, except then he said that Apple would have a TV by 2011. He now says “I think the probability is almost zero that it will be this year.”)
  • Venture capitalist Stewart Alsop, of Alsop Louie ventures, lent credence to the “iTelevision” theory in an interview with VentureBeat. Alsop sits on the boards of TiVo and Sonos, follows the hardware industry closely, and says he has heard from multiple sources throughout Silicon Valley that the Apple television project is underway.
  • The Wall Street Journal mentioned that Apple is “working on new technology to deliver video to televisions, and has been discussing whether to try to launch a subscription TV service,” according to “sources familiar with the matter.” That’s typically code for an inside source.
  • And Cult of Mac notes that the time may be ripe for Apple to make a television, as high-end TVs have started to dip below the $1,000 price threshold.
  • Even former Apple CEO Steve Jobs turned the wheels of the rumor mill in 2010, saying that it made sense for Apple to integrate its technology into television sets
Analistul Brian White, din partea Ticonderoga Securities, a scris de asemenea in aprilie ca Apple poate lansa un model de "Smart TV" anul acesta.Trip Chowdhry, din partea Global Equities Research, a sustinul ca pana in 2012 Apple va lansa doua modele de HT TV-uri.

Conceptul de "SmartTV", in dezvoltarea celui de "smartphone" poate fi planul Apple de a cuceri si industria televiziunii cu un model de televizor care sa permita rularea aplicatiilor iOS. Unul din motivele pentru care lansarea este amanata de Apple poate fi costul ridicat al ecranelor.Zvonurile persista insa, ca pana la sfarsitul anului 2012 vom avea parte de primul televizor Apple.
