Smarthouse claims to have knowledge regarding Apple’s rumored television set. Specifically they claim that the TV would come in three different sizes ranging from 32 to 55 inches and be powered by the same processor set to power the forthcoming next-generation iPad, presumably the rumored A6 chip.
In addition to this report, Gene Munster of Piper Jaffray who has stated his beliefs regarding the Apple-branded television set for some time, claimed much the same last week. That is, Apple would be introducing a range of sizes to accommodate different customer needs.
The thorny part of this report revolves around the “new processor” this new report mentions. They do not identify it as the A6 processor, but what else could it be? Assuming that it is the A6 processor, there are conflicting rumors suggesting that the processor could make it’s debut alongside the iPad 3 as early as Q1 or as late as June of 2012.
As we move forward, and these rumors regarding an Apple-created television set continue to pop up, I am becoming sold on the idea. Prior to this blast of rumors, I was hesitant to believe in it. Apple hasn’t had that much luck in the television market with their Apple TV set-top box. But then something occurred to me- Apple would not enter the television set market unless they were confident they had something. What their solution might entail seems to be anybody’s guess at this time. It’s exciting to speculate on nonetheless.
