If recent
reports are proven to be accurate it appears that the upcoming Apple TV may
feature a large display screen and will integrate both Siri and iSight
technologies.
These
reports will offer industry watchers an idea on what the Apple TV will be offering
into the market. The report was indicated that the anonymous source had seen
the prototype of the Apple TV and it appears to be similar to the current
LED-backlit Cinema Displays of Apple although it is bigger in size.
The report
added that the upcoming Apple TV will integrate an iSight camera that can be
used for FaceTime video calls along with the Siri virtual assistant that is
currently featured on the iPhone 4S.
Recent
reports have hinted that the Apple TV may not be released into the market until
2014 even as earlier reports suggested that Apple was preparing to offer a new
product into the television market. A JP Morgan analyst had indicated that
Apple may enhance its set-top box before it would release the Apple TV into the
market.
However the
source of the latest report had indicated that the actual Apple TV that was
described by the late Steve Jobs during an interview with biographer Walter
Isaacson was spotted recently.
The
integration of Siri into the Apple TV had emerged in earlier reports even as
the iSight technology was also expected by a number of industry watchers.
The camera
that will be integrated into the device will reportedly feature a zoom function
as well as facial recognition that will allow it to follow the user who may be moving
around the room. The zoom feature will also allow facilitate video calls while
the user is sitting on a couch on the other side of the room.
However the
accuracy of the report remains uncertain although the source of the latest
Apple TV report has supposedly offered accurate information on the prototypes
of devices in the past. This comes as Apple has not released any statements in
connection to the report.
