- Blurry images that popped up online supposedly show the testing of an Apple OLED television set of around 60 inches in size. The photos were shared on Chinese social media before being circulated by mobile leaker Benjamin Geskin on Twitter.
- images depict what looks like an Apple-branded standalone display in some kind of lab testing environment. They show a metal frame design, while accompanying notes on Weibo suggest that the set also includes a camera.
- And, just like that, longstanding rumors of an Apple TV set reignite!
- The rumors gained momentum with the publishing of Walter Isaacsonās Steve Jobs biography in 2011. āIād like to create an integrated television set that is completely easy to use,ā Jobs was quoted as saying. āIt will have the simplest user interface you could imagine.ā
- According to the WSJ, Apple is reportedly preparing a $1 billion āwar chestā which it will spend on acquiring or producing original content over the next year.
- That sum is around half of what HBO spent on production last year.
- Apple SVP Eddy Cue is reportedly aiming for Apple to offer up to ten new shows, which could rival Game of Thrones in scope.
- Apple has been ramping up its hirings to try and establish itself as a force to be reckoned with. The companyās recent hirings include a pair of former Sony execs, who previously helped bring to the screen shows including AMCās Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, and Netflixās The Crown
- WSJ: "Mr. Van Amburg and Mr. Erlicht have begun meeting with Hollywood agents and holding discussions about shows Apple could acquire, the people familiar said. Mr. Matt Cherniss has movie experience, having worked as a production executive at Warner Bros."
- According to trusted KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. There will be no āobvious changeā to the design of the device, which will leave LTE connectivity as its main selling point.
- Apple will offer non-LTE versions at more affordable prices, however. Itās unclear whether those models will be Series 3 devices, or whether Apple will continue to offer Series 2 alongside its successor for those who do not require LTE.
- Watch will also likely be waterproof, like series 2, and faster.
