Cult of Mac claims to have a source that has seen the long-rumored Apple high-definition television.
“According to our source, who has asked to remain strictly anonymous, the Apple HDTV looks like Apple’s current lineup of LED-backlit Cinema Displays but is ‘much bigger,'” explains the post. “It has a built-in iSight camera for making free FaceTime video conference calls. And it has Siri, the iPhone 4S’s voice-activated virtual assistant.”
Cult of Mac claims the “well-placed” source has provided strong tips in the past, although not all of them have involved concepts that have gone beyond the prototype stage.
In an update to the post, Paul Gagnon of NPD DisplaySearch guesses that an Apple TV product will ship in 2013.
“He noted that Apple’s Chinese supplier, Foxconn, has invested $1.6 billion in Sharp’s TV unit, which can efficiently make large size panels up to 60-inches,” explains the post, adding that Gagnon expects a conventional introduction. “They will not be anything exotic like OLED or 4K resolution. There will likely be two to four models ranging from 40-inches to 60-inches. They will be standard 1920 x 1080p resolution and cost between $1,000 to $2,000 or slightly higher.”
