Analyst: iTV plans put on hold for wearables debut in 2014
As evidenced by TV supply chain sources, Apple could be prioritizing wearable technology and delaying a true Apple TV launch during 2014. That’s according to analyst Paul Gagnon of DisplaySearch who believes Apple was positioned to debut a true iTV in the latter half of next year, but has put that plan on hold due to content deals still in development.
For Apple to have a successful television product for the living room, it needs to achieve three goals:
Sell enough units to generate sufficient content purchasing points, especially among households who do not yet own Apple TV set-top boxes.
Offer a unique point of differentiation to capture market share from leading TV manufacturers such as Samsung and Vizio, while at the same time being able to sell the products for a high enough price to deliver typically high Apple margins.
Create follow-on replacement purchases to keep hardware sales from flat-lining once household penetration peaks.
