- Steve Jobs planned to reinvent the TV industry by introducing an Apple-branded model, but he passed away before the project materialized.
- A new report suggests the company may reconsider releasing its own TV set rather than sticking to streaming boxes.
- Apple is currently focused on its iPad-like smart home device, which could debut as soon as spring 2025.
Over a decade ago, Steve Jobs planned to revolutionize the TV industry by releasing an Apple-made model. The late entrepreneur believed he had cracked the code and wanted to introduce a TV set with easy controls, a straightforward user interface, etc. Before its debut, however, Jobs passed away, and the project never came to fruition. Fortunately, this product may eventually come to life, as Apple is reportedly revisiting the idea of making its own smart TV set.
According to Bloomberg, the iPhone maker may “revisit the idea of making an Apple-branded TV set.” Apple is seemingly evaluating the concept, but how it’ll proceed with these plans remains unclear.
