Apple iTV 50in jonathan ive rumour

Apple's much-rumoured iTV could have been casually sitting in (Sir) Jonathan Ive's studio ages ago, according to leaky ex-Apple employees – and if the lead designer of some of the most desirable products on the planet is still on form, we like this news a lot.

USA Today's source didn't give away too much detail on the Apple iTV's design except to say that it's a "slick 50in TV" and that Apple's first TV model will be an HDTV with an LCD display and built-in Wi-Fi. So no surprises there.

Rumours about the Apple iTV have already teased features including a super hi-def screen built by Sharp, Siri integration, AirPlay and a Virgin Media TiVo-esque content recommendation system. But let's face it, we're not going to stick 50in of tech in the middle of our sitting room unless it's beautiful. We can't wait for the first leaked pics.

    If it's OLED it'll be a stunner, if not it's just a Sharp LCD in a fancy frock, and not worth the huge premium that Apple usually charge for re-arranging standard components in a pretty box.
