We know that three industries Jobs wanted to change is television, textbooks, and photography. So finally after iPhone, iPad, iTV and now its time for Digital camera, This week rumor heated up when iLounge released its comprehensive New iPad Buyers’ Guide (see the PDF here), an overview of accessories, apps and other information associated with the new iPad, It includes a two-page spread arguing that Apple may be working on a camera.
page 72 —“Making the case for a standalone iSight Camera.” I’ll share more on this topic shortly, but for now, I’ll say that this two-page spread very nearly had a different title. We were tipped that this project is actually happening at Apple right now, but we didn’t feel confident enough in our source to call it a certainty; it’s therefore billed as speculation. Still, there’s enough smoke to make us think there’s a fire.
Now a bit more details, after the publication of Buyer’s guide, Jeremy Horwitz (Editor-in-Chief, iLounge) posted in his blog
Just as with the iPhone, Apple wants to give users a powerful tool that can be used to produce awesome results without needing to understand technical details, jargon, or legacy controls.
The product is planned for after the release of the iTV, and would leverage iCloud for storage
We found that Apple had re-trademarked iSight in April 2012, notably expanding beyond the prior iSight trademark’s reliance on “Computer hardware, namely, a camera requiring use of a personal computer for taking still and moving pictures”
Even iLounge believe that they doesn’t expect any Apple camera product to be announced soon until the long-rumored Apple television set makes its debut.
