It sounds like a bad April Fool’s joke delivered two days too late.
But, in reality, this is a legitimate headline resulting from new claims
made by one of Wall Street’s most prominent industry analysts.
On Wednesday, Brian White of Topeka Capital Markets told investors
that Apple will not only launch it’s iTV this year, the company will
“revolutionize the TV experience forever” by introducing the iRing,
which will control the connected HDTV.
The “iRing” accessory described by White is a new concept
that has not been previously detailed in other reports. His visits with
Apple suppliers suggested the ring will act as a “navigation pointer”
for the television, and will allow the TV set to enhance motion
detection and replace some of the functionality found in a remote.
White tells Apple Insider that the “iTV” will come with a “mini iTV” screen capable of letting users view content on the smaller 9.7-inch display.
This “secondary display” could provide iTV owners with an added
resource to be used for everything from home security to video
conferencing.
“Essentially, we believe the ‘mini iTV’ screens will be able to
capture content from the 60-inch ‘iTV’ across a distance of up to 200
meters, allowing a user to view ‘iTV’ content in the kitchen, washroom,
garage, bedroom, backyard, etc.,” White says. “We believe Apple will
offer one ‘mini iTV’ per ‘iTV,’ but package options will include up to
four screens (i.e., one screen is part of the standard package and pay
extra for each additional.”
