Rumors that the company Apple «is about to" is going to release its own TV with voice control Siri, FaceTime video calls, integration with the iTunes Store and other branded "chips" have been circulating on the Web, and excited the minds of journalists over the blogosphere months. For the first time this topic was touched upon in the authorized biography of Steve JobsAnd then followed a series of insider reports that supposedly go with the TVs already pipelines Foxconn factory and They are in active production.
But its end is rapidly moving in 2012, and the mythical TV with Apple logo while none of us has ever seen. We can only be satisfied by virtual concepts and assumptions that may look like just a curious device.
Late last week, another attempt to solve Apple's plan regarding the program "stuffing" of the TV tried to make one of the members of the forum authoritative Western edition of The Verge with «Knowledge» nickname. In my opinion, the final result was a truly intriguing and worthy of attention.
His speech the author of the concept begins as follows:
Before proceeding to the main part of my message, I want to be forewarned: I am not working as a designer, programmer, journalist and engineer. I'm just a guy who dreams to be able to pay only for content that I would like to watch. Content that really means something to me. When I began to more seriously think about their ideas, I came to the conclusion, it is unlikely that even the largest technology corporation will be able to release such a product, as the monopolization of the companies in the field of cable television prevents active development. However, this did not stop me - I decided to just to express their ideas about the ideal of the TV, regardless of how the product will be profitable in economic terms.
Note that the concepts presented on the pictures look quite realistic, especially for non-designer. I like the attention to detail - the folder icons are made in the style of iOS, and the interface on almost every screen contains a "linen" background, which has already become traditional for the Apple design.
