Posted on January 05, 2013 by Mitosh Mora // Apple, news

Every individual keeps on wondering that next what the company like Apple will introduce as a surprise and successful product to their fans. Here are few prediction for upcoming coming 12 months:
Apple TV:

As we all believe in the proverb, “where is a smoke, then there is a fire” and it same applies for the company like Apple. If believe the rumour then the company is planning to introduce Apple TV in the market very soon after their successful product like iPhone and iPad. There is still uncertainty about the product, as it is still there is no official comment from the company side. Since, Apple already has set-top box, although it is not for your device but to connect with the digital stores of Apple as well as with the third party streaming services such as Hulu and Netflix. Very recently, the company has also added some options to pipe various other media along with video content from Mac & iOS devices on Wi-Fi networks. Although, it is difficult to say that the device will be an expensive device to replace it in every 4-5 years or an affordable one, but till is clear that the device will be a full-fledged TV set.
Some settling with the rivals:

Although, 2012 was full of court fights for Apple, but year 2013 seems much peaceful for the company. We have already seen 10 year truce that was announced in between HTC and Apple in November and there is possibility that we will get the same news for other two fights.
One of the most popular spat of Apple is with Samsung. Although, the companies have met several times to talk and sort out things or issues between them but came out without any positive result. This time also Samsung has said that they are again ready to sit with Apple to clear their rivalry.
Other big fight of Apple is with Google. Late CEO of Apple, Steve Jobs vowed thermonuclear war on the Android from Google, but the existing CEO Tim Cook of Apple has advised that he is not much interested in the litigation.

iRadio:

There is a very strong rumour going around that the company will very soon announce their iRadio. Although, since few years the company has been on cusp of subscription music service, but it didn’t came out as any final product. It is true that the company were offering music to their users as per their demand with apps like iCloud and iTune. However, as per some sources the company is working on a deal with three huge record companies and very soon it will come out as a positive result. However, we can’t deny the fact that the company is spending huge amount for getting this deal work in their favour.

Improvement in Maps:

There is rumour that the company will do some improvement in their app for maps, which acted as a source of embarrassment for them. Of course, it does not include the latest version of OS X and iOS. However, it is true that it cannot be done overnight and will take some time to do so. Even Google took several years to get their very own software. We also can’t deny that the company is hiring people in huge number for the task, even form their rivals with huge payment.

Siri out of the beta:

Now, it is more than a year with an app like Siri, which is showing age in her voice. The company provided voice assistant few new tricks with the iOS 6, however Google’s Android 4.1 jelly Bean Update made this service look bit clumsy and slow. Hence, there is a rumour that the company is planning to give a huge integration and boost to the service and at the same time will also introduce on platforms such as Apple TV and Apple’s Mac.
