Apple is likely to provide developers with a head-start to createsoftware for its new television before it becomes available forconsumers to purchase, according to a new analysis. Brian White with Topeka Capital Markets noted on Tuesday that thefirst iPhone was announced in January of 2007 but didn't launchuntil June of that year. Similarly, the first iPad was unveiled inJanuary of 2010, but didn't hit the market until April. Since the initial versions of bot the iPhone and iPad, new hardwarelaunches one to two weeks after it is unveiled. But with the firstversion, Apple gave itself months of time between the announcementof the product and its arrival on the market. In his note to investors, White said he expects the Appletelevision announcement to precede the launch of the final productby as few as two months, and as much as six months. He toldinvestors to "keep in mind" that Apple's annual WorldwideDevelopers Conference is only two weeks away, but did not provideany indication that he thinks an Apple television will be announcedat WWDC 2012. White's note was issued in response to a report from out of the FarEast on Monday that claimed production of the first Apple television prototypeshas begun. The Chinese news website Sina reported that an Apple television is in the "trial productionstage" at Foxconn , Apple's overseas manufacturing partner. The report added that the full-fledged television set features analuminum casing, iOS, Siri voice controls, and a forward-facingcamera for FaceTime video chat. That report offered no date on apotential launch, only stating that it was rumored to debut laterthis year, but could arrive as late as 2014. White said if Apple could capture 2 percent of the LCD TV market,it would represent $10 billion in sales for the company. He seesthat adding between $1.50 and $2.00 in earnings per share forApple. White also noted that China is the largest LCD TV market in theworld, with over 20 percent global market share. Apple does notcurrently sell its Apple TV set-top box in China, which means Applecould be preparing to enter a new market.
