With all of the recent chatter regarding the budget iPhone and so-called iWatch, it seems like the rumor mill has forgotten all about Apple’s plan to build a television set. Looking back, the last iTV report popped up back in May.
According to a new report from the folks at DigiTimes, Apple is currently in talks with LG Display over large-sized 4K TV panels…
Here’s the story:
“Rumors are circulating in the market that Apple is interested in purchasing 55- and 65-inch Ultra HD TV panels from LG Display. However, the rumors state that Apple is still testing the technology and has yet to finalize its orders with LG.The rumors added that Apple may also consider Sharp as a potential supplier.â€
Admittedly, DigiTimes has a very hit-or-miss track record when it comes to Apple intel. But to be fair, its reports regarding display production have been fairly accurate over the years—it called the iPad mini, and both the iPad 3 and 4.
We’ve seen a number of Apple TV concepts, some of the believable and the other not, for example check this video concept:
Of course, all of this is speculation until we see concrete evidence or Apple itself unveils the product. For all we know, this TV project could stay on Jony Ive’s shelf for another 10 years. But we’re sincerely hoping that’s not the case.
