TV Apple: elegant glass panel for each room

According to numerous rumors Apple is going to be represented in the light of the TV's own production. According to some reports, issue-panel TV can be held in the next, or even in 2014 . Experts report that the current market conditions are not favorable for the release of a new device Apple.

iTV threatened by competitors before entering the market

Effect of Apple's consumer electronics market is huge. That is why any new "apple" product attracts attention even before the official announcement. So it was with the mysterious TV iTV, which is supposed to come to market later this year.

 

If Apple does release his TV, other manufacturers - even today's leaders - will have easy, writes BFM. A large number of owners of TV Sony, Samsung and LG said they would buy a new product from Apple.

According to a recent survey conducted among residents of the U.S. and the UK, many are ready to take the money to the store to get a TV with a logo as a bitten apple. Among the 6000 respondents users get the idea Apple-TV seems attractive for 25% of Americans polled and 30% of Britons. Among those who are already using a device manufacturing Apple, more people are willing to buy a TV the same brand - 38% of Americans and 43% of the UK.

About the same devotion to customers in relation to other producers, however. Among Britons 38% of the current Samsung TV owners and 36% - Sony - are ready to "run across" an army of fans in the Apple, as soon as she put up on the shelves of their products. In the U.S., the main victims of the competition will be LG - 31% of the current owners of this brand TV said buy a new TV Apple.

Numerous rumors about iTV run from October last year. Getting them to put the biography of Steve Jobs, Apple founder of which said the device, which should change the existing ideas about television. Since then, the market is rife with rumors about what will be the same brand new TV. Earlier it was reported that the device could be ready this year. Other sources claimed that he should not expect early in 2013.

Many experts have stated that the product will be in demand in the market if its price will not exceed $ 1,000 - $ 1,500. However, later there were assumptions that the iTV will be focused, like the other products in the "elite" segment and the price could range from $ 2,000 - $ 3,000.

Even in this case, the buyers for the goods there. Most likely, the TV will be integrated with other products of the company. But the main bet Apple will do to the excellent design and quality of the product.

It is unlikely that sales will be for the Apple TV as an important area of ​​business, as the implementation of mobile devices - iPhone and the iPad. However, provided the interaction between the products themselves, including the integration of various services, such as games, movies, music, iTV (or a product with a different name) will be able to find its niche in the market.

Apple itself has traditionally does not comment on rumors about the upcoming products. The only product at the moment Apple, referring to the television - the prefix Apple TV, was sold in the last quarter in an amount of 1.4 million units.

French designer designs for the Apple “revolutionary product”

Apple cooperates with the renowned French designer Philippe Starck to create a new "revolutionary" product, whose appearance is expected in about 8 months, According to French publication Le Figaro. According to the designer, he has long worked with the manufacturer of the iPhone and the iPad and by the end of the year can be expected to release a new product.

Stark argues that in view of the "cult of secrecy" at Apple, he still can not talk about specific details. In an interview with the artist said that he regularly met with Steve Jobs when he was still alive and still occasionally go there to support the widow Jobs Lonen Powell.

After an interview with the designer, many publications have begun to wonder about what it is for the product prepared in the bowels of Cupertino. The most obvious answer is the television iTV, which became known from the biography of Steve Jobs, who has not had time to see it on sale. The release device is expected in time for the end of the year.

It is assumed that this will be a futuristic device that combines entertainment center, game console and the TV itself. Different analysts have attributed to him the contactless integrated controller, the system voice control Siri, but Apple itself has traditionally remained silent and did not comment on rumors of a not yet released products. However, we can talk not about the TV, and a remote control and interface to it.

Of course, there's the iPhone 5, which is expected to release in October. According to some reports, the next generation Apple smartphone will get a shell made from a solid piece of aluminum, a similar case laptop MacBook Pro. According to insiders, the communicator must receive a 4-inch screen and a modified design. Probably a new device to iOS will come with quad-core processor and an updated version of the A6 voice assistant Siri.

It should be noted that the reporters from Gizmodo noticed quite a strange choice for Apple lead designer. Until now, "apple" products are distinguished by classical terseness and ergonomics, while the masterpieces of Stark's reminiscent of the "vision of the future homemaker of the 1960s." Previously, the designer has already participated in the creation of a whole range of devices and objects, from chairs to electric. In an earlier interview he said that he would be interested to do the design tablet, headphones and external hard drives.
