Thanks to the latest courtroom war between Apple and Samsung, a lot of private mails and documents shared between Steve Jobs and his top employees has be made public. iPhone for normal people, Samsung’s marketing strategy, and a Holy war with Google are some of the most discussed ones. But what is significant for us Apple TV lovers is this excerpt from a mail Jobs sent in 2010 regarding the Apple TV 2.

” Apple TV 2 – David Moody, Jeff Robbin
– Strategy: stay in the living room game and make a great “must have” accessory for iOS devices
– sales so far, projections for this holiday
– add content:
– NBS, CBS, Viacom, HBO, …
– TV subscription?
– where do we go from here?
– apps, browser, magic wand? “

The first two clauses are purely official and sales-related while the rest of’em sheds bright light on what Jobs wanted for Apple TV in the coming years and maybe even forms a part of what he meant when he said he’d “finally cracked the code” for the perfect television.

The next couple of suggestions has indeed been made into reality during or after Jobs’ reign. Apple has been adding channels regularly to their set top box and was said to be in talks with Time Warner for a deal too. Even speculations of a Comcast subscription-based next gen Apple TV loomed around for a bit.

The last strategy of apps and browsers is the one raising the most eyebrows now as it perfectly lines up with the latest reports on Apple TV 4. The next Apple TV is said to come with a support for games, third party apps, custom channels and even game controllers. A revamped and easy-to-use interface is also said to be in the pipeline. You can read all about the Apple TV 4 here.

Now to my favorite and the most mysterious part of the mail, the last word – the magic wand. Though we have no official confirmation on what that is, we can read it closely with some of the latest patents (pic above) registered by Apple, its acquisition of motion-detection firm PrimeSense and listen to what our gut says. The said magic wand is probably a Microsoft Kinect-like device which will enable controlling of Apple TV with a stick-remote, via simple gestures and clicks.

This sort of reminds us of one unique and interesting accessory we tried out earlier: it is called the Kymera Magic Wand Remote Control.

It pairs with your existing infrared remotes and learns the patterns for various functions, which in turn can be converted into gestures. In short, you have a magic wand which you can swish in front of your Apple TV and control it. Looking somewhat like the Elder Wand from Harry Potter, this is literally what we can make of Job’s reference. In case you’re curious, you can get the magic wand for your Apple TV here.

The post Black Friday 2013 deals on HDTVs for your Apple TV appeared first on Apple TV Hacks.

Even though we didn’t see any new Apple TV’s at the recent iPad event, one analyst seems to think Apple is planning on launching the Ultra-High definition Apple TV‘s with 65-inch and 55-inch frameless screens towards the end of 2014.

The speculation comes from Advanced Research Japan Analyst Masahiko Ishino who claims that Apple is still putting the finishing touches to their UHD TV’s.

Ishino believes the Apple UHD TV’s will sell from anywhere between $1,500 to $2,500 and its goal would be to get rid of the tuners and cables that are currently required for conventional TV.

“It’ll probably be more of a smart monitor than what we think of as a TV”

Apple will apparently utilise their existing supply chain, contracting LG Display to take care of the LCD screens. Samsung will sort the graphics processors, whilst Corning will provide the Gorilla Glass 3 as a cover for the TV. Ishino continues to state that Foxconn will likely be the firm of choice for assembling the new Apple UHD TV.

Back in march Digitimes reported that Apple was continuing to develop a TV that is likely to sport an Ultra HD 4K display (3840 x 2160). According to the sources, a standalone AppleT V set could launch by the end of this year, but it is more likely that Apple decides to unveil it in early 2014.

Apple UHD TV – A myth?

Whilst we’ve heard rumours of such a device being in existence at Apple HQ, it has only remained speculation with very little evidence turning up which supports an Apple UHD TV will be released to the public. Ishino whilst reputable, doesn’t mention his source of information, so as with any rumour it is advised to take this one with caution.

The post Apple UHD TV rumored to debut by late 2014 appeared first on Apple TV Hacks.

According to the former Apple executive who anonymously spoke to DailyTech, Apple plans to bundle Apple TV and iTunes inside physical television sets. The source claims that Apple is teaming up with a major supplier (Samsung?) to provide the physical televisions, which will be rebranded as Apple television sets. The source believed a fall launch was in order, but the product could launch as late as next year.

According to the former Apple executive, the company plans to “blow Netflix and all those other guys away”. “You’ll go into an Apple retail store and be able to walk out with a TV,” the source said.

Shortly before Apple has released the second generation Apple TV in September last year, Jobs participated in the D8 conference, where he said that the Cupertino firm had no idea on how to succeed in the television market. Although the Apple TV 2 has sold very well (probably over 2 million units so far), it’s hard to call Steve’s “hobby” device a revolutionary product.

Apple has been rumored to be working on its own TV set numerous times in the past. According to Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster’s note Apple will release an HDTV “in the next two to four years.”

In February, Apple has posted a new job position looking for people to work on next-generation power supply technology that will power – among others – the TVs.

In addition, according to the other job listing, Apple has been researching OLED technologies and is looking to implement this technology into future products.
