This Is Apple's Roadmap For The Rest Of The Year, According To KGI | cross pond high tech | Scoop.it

Two new iPhones, two iWatches, and an Apple TV ?

Apple will have a very busy second half of the year, according to KGI  Securities analyst Ming Chi Kuo.

In a new note released yesterday, and picked  up at MacRumors, Kuo provided the following roadmap for Apple's product  releases in 2013. Kuo is fairly plugged-in with Apple's suppliers and has a  better track record than most.

Before He Died, Steve Jobs Told Top Executives Apple Would Not Be Making A TV

Before He Died, Steve Jobs Told Top Executives Apple Would Not Be Making A TV | cross pond high tech | Scoop.it

In 2010, Jobs hosted his final Top 100 meeting.

One person asked if Apple was going to release a television next. There were already rumors all over the place that it was Apple's next conquest. 

Yukari says "Jobs didn't hesitate." He said, "No."

 

"TV is a terrible business. They don't turn over and the margins suck," said Jobs. (Unlike iPhones which are wildly profitable and replaced every two years, a TV gets replaced every 8 years, and isn't all that profitable.)

 

He did want to control the living room, though, he said. He also said the Apple TV, the little video streaming box, would remain a hobby until Apple got all the content it needed.
