Rumor: Apple Television Looks Like a Big Thunderbolt Display; To Include Siri, FaceTime, AirPlay

Comment (1)Ever since an excerpt from Steve Jobs biography revealed that he felt that he had finally cracked integrated Television sets, the chatter about Apple possibly releasing television sets has got louder.

It has been speculated that Apple will launch the television set, which could include Siri for extensive voice control rather than the conventional remote control later this year.

Cult of Mac now reports that one of their "well-placed source" has actually seen the prototype of the rumored Apple Television. According to their source, the television set looks like a big Thunderbolt Display.

Cult of Mac reports:

The Apple HDTV makes FaceTime calls using the built-in iSight camera. The camera is sophisticated, with facial recognition and the ability to zoom into the user’s face and follow them as they walk around the room. This allows users to make video calls from the couch across the room, rather than having to stand smack in front of the TV.

In addition, calls are initiated by Siri, the iPhone 4S’s virtual assistant.
