Analyst: Apple 60-inch iTV with iRing motion controller to launch in 2013

Topeka Capital's Brian White went on the road, visiting the China-Taiwan tech supply chain to glean some intelligence on what Apple will launch in the coming months, and he found the "iRing."

In his latest research note, issued today, the analyst reaffirmed his prediction that Apple will introduce a 60-inch iTV system in the later part of 2013 for between $1,500 and $2,500, depending on configuration and accessories. He added that it would include an iRing, a small device placed on the finger that serves as a navigational pointer, taking over some of the functionality of a traditional remote control.

Okay this leads me to the question. Who wears the iRing in your family?

To deal with that embarrassing question, Apple will sell you a very expensive extra iRing....


Given the excessively complicated, nonstandardized world of remotes, this is probably a smart market decision by Apple, especially as some of their previous moves into the TV arena have fizzled.
