Apple Job Posting starts Rumors on Apple TV

Posted by unlocker under News on Monday Mar 14, 2011

There is a job vacancy in Apple as the company is looking for people who will work on the next generation power supply technology. The job listing goes like this:

“You will be part of pride developing innovative designs, which are implemented in products used by millions of people. The position primarily involves high-density offline power supply’s development for Apple’s next generation Macintosh platforms spanning from notebook computers, desktop computers, servers, standalone displays and TV.”

It is important to note that in the ad, Apple differentiated the standalone displays and TV’s by clubbing them separately in the listing. The job listing then led to numerous speculations that Apple could be working on the Apple TV, the area where Apple has not been able to conquer much. This is not the first time that we will hear rumors about speculations that Apple is planning to make its own brand of TV.

In 2009, there were reports about the possibility including a report from Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Muster who commented that this is a possibility. This recent post relives the speculations again. If you will check the job listing again, there is a slight change in the job posting. Apple has edited the earlier job description and the “TV” bit has been changed to “Apple TV”.

What do you think of the idea of playing your favorite games on the Apple Television with iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch as the controller? Are you not excited? We would love Apple to make their own TV set.
