If rumors are anything to go by, then you should start expecting that Apple will soon change the Television as you know it! A recent report by the Wall Street Journal suggests that Apple is working with it’s suppliers in Asia to test several designs relating to it’s own large screen high definition television set.
According to the report Hon Hai (better known as Foxconn) and Sharp have been working closely with the Cupertino based company to test the designs of it’s television sets since several months now. Though, there has been such rumors in the past too, but we can expect things shaping up for good this time around and moreover, it’s quite some time since Apple introduced “the next big thing” to the world.
The rumor also seems legit after Tim Cook dropping a big hint recently about Apple preparing it’s own TV wherein he said,
When I go into my living room and turn on the TV, I feel like I have gone backwards in time by 20 to 30 years. It’s an area of intense interest. I can’t say more than that.

One of Apple’s biggest rival, Google has already started to make it’s Android OS available on TV’s as well. Though, it isn’t as successful as of now but Apple’s foray into this segment will surely heat up the things for others as well. If this really turns out to be true, you can surely expect Apple’s battle with Samsung to reach new highs as the latter is the world’s biggest TV maker as of now.
World’s most valued company has been doing excellent in the terms of sales of it’s products but it has been quite some time since the company unleashed another game changing product from it’s stable like the iPhone (or the iPad). With these rumors, we do hope that apple takes the covers off the iTV (well, that’s what it should be called, right?) really soon.
