2. Apple + Television
A PLATFORM FOR INTEGRATING, ALIGNING & MANAGING A PERSONAL APPLE ECOSYSTEM
ATV + iCloud + Retina Display = Apple Television (iTV)
3. I'd like to create an integrated television
set that is completely easy to use. It would
be seamlessly synced with all of your
devices and with iCloud. It will have the
simplest user interface you could
imagine. I finally cracked it.
- Steve Jobs to Walter Isaacson
4. Imagine a 40 or 50-inch iPad, a system that
understands voice commands, using Apple's new Siri
virtual assistant, and spares you the trouble of fumbling
with a clunky remote that always gets lost between the
sofa cushions. If you want to watch an obscure movie,
or play a game, or record the Titans game on Sunday,
ask and the system will find it. No more finding the
buttons to switch manually between video sources; the
TV will put it on the screen for you. Anyone who
manufactures a high-end TV will get hammered.
- Gene Munster, Piper Jaffray & Co.

9. News
Foxconn has Received Apple TV Orders: Currently in Pilot Production, May 28, 2012
Sources told Business Daily, Fuji Kang Longhua factory in Shenzhen has
received orders for the Apple TV currently in trial production.
Apple Stalls Apple TV Shipments, Feb 29, 2012
Partners and channel members have seen Apple push back deliveries each
consecutive week by one additional week -- a practice that almost always
foreshadows a formal discontinuation of a product ahead of new models.
Likely for A5X for greatly expanded set-top box functionality, namely AirPlay
which allows users to mirror their Mac display on an HDTV.
55" Apple LCD TV for About $2,000 Seen as Matter of 'when,' Not 'if' Jun 1, 2012
Gene Munster with Piper Jaffray sees Apple's full-fledged television set retailing
between $1,500 and $2,000, with screen sizes between 42 inches and 55
inches. Such a product would add between 4 and 8 percent to Apple's
calendar year 2013 revenues, he believes.
10. News
Apple's focus on display tech is driving it to make an HDTV, July 14, 2012
Raymond Soneira, CEO of Displaymate Technologies believes Apple will
continue to adopt Retina across all "premium" products, including the Apple
TV. But it's less about the intrinsic Retina technology than it is about
consistency, he believes.
Apple is said to have selected a key supplier for television set, Feb 17, 2012
Genesis is reportedly expected to supply LED chips to LCD panel maker Sharp
for Apple's anticipated television.
The partnership between Sharp and Genesis is expected to grow in 2012, as
Genesis is said to have received certification for its LED chips. That could
pave the way for Genesis to be a crucial component in Apple's rumored
television set lineup.
11. Risks
Production Capacity & Material
Wage Pressure at Foxconn / General Unrest in China
Display Quality (Yield & Lead Times)
Data Delivery / Infrastructure Bandwidth / Capacity Limitations
Cable Usage Based Pricing
Premium Price In Excess of 300G/Mo
Consumption is Accelerating esp. for Households w/ Multiple Streams
Local (In-the-home) Storage (Movie Watchers need 2TB Min)
Premium iCloud Storage Upgrade Options (5GB Free) $10 for Additional 5GB.
Country & Political Risks
Cable Country Infrastructure: International Level of Service Downloads?
Great Firewall of China (and now Russia, etc.)?
Competitive Risk
Not Open Source Like Some Competitors, ‘getting locked in’.
I’d Rather Own Than Rent?
Preplanning Aspect of What to Watch?
Game Console Compatibility & Experience?
Is It ‘Green’ Enough?
12. Risks
Market Demand
“’Smart TV’ has not achieved the consumer acceptance or market
expectation… that was forecasted over the last couple years. In addition,
consumer spending for Smart TV’s in general has experienced a significant
slow down as the economy has slowed. Our current strategy is to stay
involved with the various technology developments and consider them in the
future as they become available.” - Viewsonic on Boxee-powered Smart TV

19. Smart TV Manufacturing Trends
Shoring Up Materials (Competitive Demand) for Tablet Components & Displays
Supply Chain Execution; ‘Blocking & Tacking’
Apple's television set will most likely feature an LCD screen, rather than next-generation
OLED display technology
OLED panels remain too costly for large screen sizes for Apple to adopt.
Increased Application of 3D Simulation Technologies
All Industries including Manufacturing Design; Simulation; Speed to Market.
Japan Culture Change w/ Respect to Collaboration w/ China
Sharing of Design Competencies w/ Foxconn; Tablet Display Yields, Quality.
Enterprise Spending on Tablets
Enterprises Forgoing new PC’s for Tablets?
