iTV-, the mythical television tested by Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), together with its partners for several years, it could only be launched in 2015, according to the latest information provided by the partners from Cupertino. It seems that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), had 4K resolution screens ready for this television, but the company would have made the decision to to postpone product launch until 2015, most likely because SmartWatchacquis iWatch. The American company planned to bring the TV to the market in the summer of next year, but the launch of a SmartWatch it seems to be much more important, so this device has priority in front of consumers, as it can be available in that period of time.
According to sources in the TV supply chain, it appears that Apple's long-rumored TV plans, which were far from concrete anyway, have been put on hold again, possibly to be replaced by a rollout of wearable devices. Although many financial and industry analysts have been speculating about Apple's entrance into the TV business via an actual TV (instead of the Apple TV "hobby" set-top-box) for years, during the last year the rumor-mill has shifted into high gear about a 2014 introduction. Indeed, our own information from TV supply chain sources pointed to the fact that Apple appeared to be lining up resources for a product introduction in the second half of 2014, likely with 2-3 large screen sizes and 4K resolution.
Apple was planning to launch a television different from those of the competition, mainly through design, screen quality, but also software functions. Apple would implement in iTV compatibility with the personal assistant Crab and a new system to control the interface through gestures, all offering a clearly superior user experience compared to anything else currently available on the market. Of course, these are all pure speculations and it seems that we will have to wait a long time to find out if there is any shred of truth among them, the Apple company considering that it could have more to gain from a companion accessory for iDevices.
