OFweek smart home network news Qiao Bangzhuo before the students think of the TV as Apple's future development direction. However, Apple's news of television is almost passed every year, but it is still missing.
Apple's set-top box Apple TV was launched as early as 2007. It has been developed to the fifth generation this year. It is reported that this year's new products will fully support 4K.
The Apple TV TV box is actually the touchstone of Apple in the TV field. From Apple TV we can see the future direction of Apple TV.
Although Apple TV has experienced many years of development, we still cannot purchase it at domestic apple stores or Apple's official website. Currently, we can only purchase through Haitao, and even if it is purchased, the experience is not very good.
Therefore, in the Chinese market, in the future, if Apple wants to introduce smart TVs, the issue of content lock areas is the primary solution.
Concept map
For smart television software and hardware, Apple can be said to have been long-standing. In recent years, as the growth rate of the smart phone market has been significantly reduced, Apple is very much looking for new areas that can be focused on development. Internet TV, which is closely related to future smart homes, has now become a key development direction for many large technology companies.
Apple's own eco-environment can also provide consumers with a better experience. The memory of Walter Isaacson, the author of "Biography of Steve Jobs," said that Joe had seen TV as the direction of Apple's future development.
Apple’s current CEO, Tim Cook, once expressed his views on television. He thinks that current television products are outdated, as it was outdated in the 1970s, and that Apple believes that so-called smart TVs are not smart at present. There is no real change in the product attributes of televisions. The overall experience is not essentially different from 40 years ago.
Cook also always said that Apple believes that good things will happen in the future. People have high confidence in Apple's marching into and subverting the TV industry. But Apple is five years old. Maybe Apple is waiting for an opportunity. Perhaps Apple thinks the current smart features are not mature enough. But these "maybe" perhaps this year will usher in a turning point, with Foxconn to build factories in the United States, so that everything becomes possible.
It seems that Apple has entered the television field. Foxconn’s investment in US$7 billion in the construction of a panel plant in the United States has sparked global public opinion.
In fact, Apple is one of the gold owners behind this Foxconn investment. Terry Gou also admitted that Foxconn will launch a joint investment with Apple to set up a display factory in the United States. This panel factory mainly produces large-size panels, not the small-sized ones used by the iPhone. After Foxconn acquired Sharp, there was a certain strength in the production plant of OLED panel. The two relations are close, and Apple TV production seems to be a trend.
Prior to this, netizens made a concept map of Apple TV:
Apple has been deployed for nearly a decade in the development of hardware and systems for smart TVs, as well as content reserves, and Apple's avant-garde design capabilities. Once we have fully entered the smart TV market, it will surely bring tremendous impact and improvement to the global television industry.

One is to connect to the OBD interface of the vehicle through a special data line. Reading out the data and displaying it on the matching display screen is basically equivalent to adding a driving computer display screen. At ordinary times, the connecting cable can be plugged into the OBD interface all the time without removing it, and only the fixed display screen is needed. The owner can choose the data to be displayed by himself
