In recent months, there have been many rumors that confirmed the launch of a television produced by the Apple company, and here it is now Foxconn's CEO supports them. In a conference that took place yesterday at the opening of the Foxconn headquarters in Shanghai, Terry Gou, Foxconn's CEO, said that the company is currently preparing to produce a TV designed by Apple. He mentioned that it will be a TV that will display high definition images, but which will have Siri and FaceTime incorporated, so his statements match those reported this week.
Gou said Foxconn is making preparations for iTV, Apple Inc's rumored upcoming high-definition television, although development or manufacturing has yet to begin. iTV reportedly features an aluminum construction, Siri, and FaceTime video calling. Foxconn's recent 50-50 joint venture factory with Sharp in Japan is one of the preparations made for the new device, Gou added.
He will also contribute to the production of the new television Sharp, probably with IGZO screens, but for now no one knows when the process of assembling the new device will actually begin. Basically, Foxconn's CEO has now confirmed rumors that have been going on for several months and it seems that Apple is preparing to bring to the market a product developed for the first time in Cupertino. I don't know if Apple will present the TV at WWDC 2012, but there is a good chance that it will reach the market by the end of this year.
