According to the Wall Street Journal, Apple is working with Sharp and Foxconn to design a TV. Generally speaking, when a big company like Apple develops a new product, it will first change in the supply chain. According to the information from the Wall Street Journal on the supply chain, the development of this real "Apple TV" TV is still in its early stage. At the same time, Jean Louis Gassee, a former Apple executive, also said that TV is not an official project of Apple, and Apple has no intention of producing TV sets. So far, TV is not an official project of Apple.
In fact, similar news came out in one year, but just last week, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that Apple was "extremely interested" in television, and this speculation reached a new peak. Hon Hai, the parent company of Foxconn, Apple's long-term partner, had previously acquired Sharp's shares and gained control of Sharp's world's most advanced LCD panel production line in Sakai, western Japan. In addition, after Apple released the 10K document last week, Horace Dediu, an analyst at Asymco, believed that Apple's annual capital expenditure exceeded the expected amount by 2.3 billion dollars because Apple made a major investment in Sharp with this money.
