Apple Rumored To Be Working On iTV Yet Again

Over the last few months there have been many rumors suggesting that Apple might be involved in the production of a full fledged HDTV set. The company presumably wants to increase its presence in the television market, and perhaps it can’t do that with the Apple TV, its $99 set-top box. Rumors about the HDTV have waned slightly in recent weeks, nevertheless, the latest comes from Taiwanese publication Economic Daily News. It is said that Apple is working with Foxconn, Innoloux, G-Tech Optoelectronics and Corning of Gorilla Glass fame for its HDTV which is widely referred to as the iTV.

The report further suggests that Apple will release iTV in the first half of 2014. 55″ and 60″ models will reportedly be released first. Foxconn is expected to manufacture the device and display panels might be provided by Innolux. Previous rumors suggest that Apple might introduce a whole new way of interacting with a TV set, some believe that Siri-like voice based technology will debut with Apple’s first ever conventional TV set. Information about pricing is not available right now. The company itself has kept a lid on any information regarding its TV plans, be it another set-top box or a full fledged TV set.

    Apple Mysteriously Hires AMOLED Expert From LG

    Apple’s Retina Display offers some amazing visuals, but it could be receiving a boost now that Apple has hired a former senior researcher for LG.

    According to a report from OLED Association, Dr. Lee Jeung-jil has been recruited by Apple for his previous experience researching OLED printing technology at LG as well as heading the research and development for LCD technology development at Samsung. Jeung-jil is said to be “more knowledgeable about OLEDs [than] any of Apple’s current staff, which is known to be quite strong.”

    The purpose of the hire at this time is completely unknown, but considering Jeung-jil’s background, we could assume it’s going to be display related as having him work in the Apple cafeteria would be extremely silly and a waste of his skills. A number of us believe his influence could benefit Apple’s mobile devices by making its Retina Display even more detailed, or maybe his hiring has something to do with the long-rumored Apple TV.
