Apple is not going to the Apple TV set-top box this year to bring out. This enables Bloomberg based on a source familiar with Apple’s television plans.Apple was busy talking with cable providers and other media companies, which at the time still see no reason other parties access to their sources of income.

To the Apple TV set-top box from the ground, suppliers of television content first into the sea to go with Apple. That not everyone likes to do this just appeared last year : he told CBS television a bid from Apple to have stalled. Apple wanted the advertising revenue sharing, something that CBS was not prepared.

“Apple Inc. engineers have been working since 2005 to reinvent TV viewing. Designing the gadget may prove easy compared with convincing media and cable companies to loosen their grip on the television industry…

…Apple is vying with the likes of Google Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Amazon.com Inc. to make TVs the digital hub of people’s lives in an industry projected to reach $200 billion worldwide by 2017. Whoever wins must first strike deals with media companies or cable providers who have little incentive to cede valuable revenue streams. The result: Apple won’t be releasing a new TV product this year, as analysts had predicted, said a person familiar with the company’s plans.”

 

In August it was first talked about using the Apple TV set-top box. The Apple TV would be the usual box cable television providers can be replaced, so you can navigate between channels including via a user interface of Apple. This interface would be based on the iPad , to zap as natural as possible. The Apple TV set-top box would do a few tricks in the house, including the ability to rewind live TV without having previously recorded.

Apple 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display in production

Apple launched the production of 13-inch laptops MacBook Pro, equipped with display Retina. Reported by Richard Shim of research firm NPD DisplaySearch, citing unnamed sources.

At the moment Apple releases only one laptop with a display Retina – 15,4-inch MacBook Pro. But soon the situation promises to change. According to the expert, in Cupertino started producing 13.3-inch laptop with super fine screen. Richard Shim emphasizes that we are talking about “professional” laptop models Apple, and not about the MacBook Air.

According to NPD DisplaySearch, the company Samsung, LG Display and Sharp started to supply 13-inch panels in the initial amount that exceeds the one that took place in the case of a modification of the 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro, presented in June at the Worldwide Developers Conference 2012. Apple failed to show a 13.3-inch version of the computer at the same time with the older brother because of production problems, the newspaper notes.

By analogy with the 15-inch version of the MacBook Pro will be deprived of a new model of the DVD-ROM drive, and the resolution of its screen will be 2560 × 1600 pixels (at present “poppy” this setting – 2880 × 1800).

iPad mini name is confirmed

It is unlikely that the new Apple handset is to be called  the “iPhone 5″ , not least because it will be the sixth generation of Apple smartphone. But in the case of  “  iPad mini ” everything is different. Beginning with a lowercase letter word «mini» originally was taken not from the ceiling, because in the middle of the last decade engaged in production of Apple iPod mini. On the other hand, mini quickly replaced by nano, and is now on its way is the seventh generation of the latter. What in the line of iPod use one system of notation, and for iPad – another? Also, do not forget that the term “iPad nano” had once flashed in connection with the 7-inch tablet.

Japanese site Macotakara still write that their Asian source confirms the name iPad mini. And this is, if you think about it, makes sense. Apple because at the time did not just changed to mini nano. She did it to highlight the substantial difference in the size of the older model series. iPod was a big, iPod mini – a little less, iPod nano – even much less. And if you follow a similar logic, the «iPad nano» would be the size of a iPhone! 7.85-inch screen, of course, less than the 9.7-inch display on the large iPad – but not so much less to cause competition with iOS-devices lower rank. Therefore «iPad mini» seems quite suitable name. [Macotakara]

The enclosures for iPad Mini show a front-facing camera and the mini-dock connector

It is definitely not the first time that we see such a scenario, in which the production and marketing of imaginary enclosures takes place even before the launch of the same product to be protected. This time it is the case of the much awaited iPad Mini in the home stretch to fit into a mid-market where we already find the famous Amazon Kindle Fire and the latest product Google Android, Nexus Asus 7.

As for the next Apple smartphone, the iPad Mini is making quite a stir thanks to the photos of the internal components published a few weeks ago, but in this case there are no more or less real picture of how it will shape the aesthetic . To suggest it there are only cases that could mean everything and nothing, in the sense that a picture of a housing is not original Apple certainly does not imply a firm and final form factor of the product.
Given the large number of reports received and made this premise, we can go on to analyze the photos of some cases published in the day today from the site GizChina, appear to be based on the recent rumors that they want the new iPad Mini as a sort of hybrid between iPod Touch and iPadnormal. If they turn out to be true, the new iPad Mini mount, among other things, a front camera and a rear, just like all the recent iDevice and will be the new mini dock connector 9-pin.

The dimensions are now known to all, or at least those relating to the diagonal of the display equal to 7.85 inches. A bit unusual however is the small slot on the back at the top of the enclosure, as if to indicate a microphone strangely located on the front of the device. For the actual size of the device and its weight, however, there are no further details for which will have to wait, it seems, a few more weeks.
