RUMOR: HD Video Out Created For New iPhone
The Apple iPhone definitely has shortcomings in the video output department. The iPhone and iPhone 3G are only capable of barely-HD 480i video-out resolutions, making movie playback or watching TV shows on large TVs rather inadequate. But there is good news about the upcoming launch of the third-generation iPhone. There are reports that confirm that future iPhone and iPod Touch hardware will be capable of playing back full-HD video at 720p and 1080i resolutions!
It is rumored that Apple has advised its Apple Authorized Resellers to start clearing out any remaining Composite AV Cable and Apple Component AV Cable stock. The move is aimed at cutting down inventory ahead of the introduction of Apple’s new Apple AV Cable, which consolidates the functions of both the Composite and Component AV iPhone-cables. Apple is also apparently looking to shift focus from the Apple TV to the iPhone. By endowing the iPhone lineup with true HD-output, Apple will be looking to redefine the iPhone as the most convenient way to bring digital media to the TV screen. The iPhone can stream videos from your computer and so you have almost limitless storage capacity for HD videos.
It’s not clear when the Apple AV Cable will become available – maybe after the official launch of its new iPhone.
