More news on Apple’s releases during 2012 – Part 2

Although the company has already built a set-top box called the Apple TV that can be connected to any digital TV. The device connects the television to the unlimited possibilities on internet and iCloud in addition to an iPad, iPhone and iPod. However, that
is now considered only a step forward to the development of a new television.

Jobs further explained that the television would seamlessly connect to the internet and iCloud and iTunes Store. It would replace multiple remotes designated to television, DVD players and set-top boxes with a single device. The word is that the iPhone,
iPad or iPod will serve as the remote control device. However, it is also rumoured that the viewer might also be able operate the television with distinct hand gestures, like what is done on Microsoft’s Kinect.

It was rumoured during 2011 that Apple might release its new TV in 2012 but in recent news, the company might hold up the launch of the television to pile up some more anticipation. The expected release of the television might fall somewhere at the end of
2012 or the start of 2013, maybe next year’s edition of CES.

In other news, Apple is speculated to axe the Mac Pro line. The desktop version of personal computing has been with the company since its inception. However, the evolution of iMac and Macbook Pro has cannibalized the sales of the tower version. Therefore,
2012 is considered the last year of the device at best.

Moreover, iPad’s release this year is expected to be divided into two parts. This rumour further extends to two different categories that the company is expected to address this year. First telltale says that Apple might launch a mere upgrade to iPad 2 in
March called the iPad 2S and later in the second half might release the HD version of the tablet. In other news, the company is expected to release the two versions side-by-side. The upgraded version will be a 7-inch slate priced at a mere $200 and the second
will be full-fledge HD with all its glory.
