According to various rumours, Apple is gearing up for a major play at the TV market. Several internet reports suggest that Steve Jobs, before his death, laid out a blueprint for conquering the TV industry..
"Our thesis is based on meetings with contacts close to Asian component suppliers, industry contacts, Apple's patent portfolio for television technology, and recent product launches (iCloud, Siri)," one analyst said of the situation.
"Based on Jan-11 meetings in Asia (not with component suppliers), we believe Apple is investing in manufacturing facilities and securing supply for LCD displays. These displays could range from 3.5" mobile displays to 50" television displays.”
Apple has yet to comment on the rumours.
