Apple has been and still is one of the trendsetters on the tech market, especially over the last few years. The company was among the first to introduce a high capacity music player, a touchscreen smartphone and a tablet. That is why everyone is now expecting the next big thing from Apple. There is a widespread belief that the giant’s new product will have to do with interactive television. Although the company released a few innovations over the past few month, there were no traces of the mysterious Apple TV. However, the rumours surrounding the product were plenty.
It is expected that Apple will hold an event in March. This information was spread by a number of tech geeks, blogs, as well as commentary by Peter Misek who is an analyst for the Jefferies Equity Research company.
According to Misek, Apple will finally unveil its TV service at a special event next month. In addition, the analyst said he believes that the tech giant will officially release its product in the fall of 2013. He even cited September and October as possible dates for the launch. Misek suggests that the price of the device will start a little over $1,500.
Actually, there is some logic in this information. Apple traditionally organizes press and media events in March. Why would 2013 be any exception? Also, there are no other big Apple devices that are expected to be unveiled over the next few months, unless there is a really well hidden surprise. The next-generation of the company’s flagship smartphone, the iPhone, is rumoured to be introduced towards the end of 2013. Now, however, there is new information which points that Apple wants to postpone the release of iPhone 6 to the summer months of 2014. That leaves Apple TV as the only possible major product launch over the next few months.
Although the news for a March event was declined by a couple of sources, Apple Inc. still keeps mum on the subject. Therefore, we should not exclude the possibility of an Apple event next month. In all cases, something should come up as shares are slidding down rapidly. Yesterday, stock closed -0.11% at $466.51.
