Apple Television to Feature Motion Detection and Touchscreen Remote?

Apple's long-rumored television will reportedly feature motion detection and an included touchscreen remote, reports Topeka Capital Markets analyst Brian White.

"Regarding Apple TV, the data points during our trip indicate the Company will use a special type of motion detection technology on future full blown Apple TV that we expect to be unveiled within the next couple of quarters, rather than touch technology. Also, our contacts indicate a unique remote control with a touch panel form factor that looks similar to the iPad would be used to control the device. The bezel is expected to be a plastic composition, rather than the aluminum unibody exterior that surrounds the MacBook Air."

White also expects Apple to launch an iPhone mini alongside a new iPhone in September.


During today's WWDC 2012 keynote, Apple is expected to unveil apps for the Apple TV which many see as a stepping stone to their full television offering.
