2012年最离谱的11项预测

苹果电视机上市

    苹果（Apple）粉丝们散播传言的速度赶超光速，因此Jefferies分析师彼得•米赛克肯定知道，2011年他预测苹果电视机将于2012年年中推出，定然会让苹果粉丝们狂喜若狂。但令人失望的是，他这话说得太早了。

    苹果电视机短期内不会上市。米赛克不是唯一一个预测失误的人——在竞猜苹果（新品）的过程中,人人都失过手。比方说，《纽约时报》（New York Times）就曾报道称，苹果将于2012年年末宣布推出电视机产品。但是，做出最明确预期的还是米塞克。他说，他获悉日本制造商夏普（Sharp）已经受邀开始制造苹果电视机屏幕。米塞克最近调整了他的预期，预计苹果电视机将在2013年9、10月份推出。让我们一起期待吧。

Apple TV's arrival

    Apple's fanboys spread product rumors faster than the speed of light, so Jefferies analyst Peter Misek must have known his 2011 notes predicting an Apple television launch in mid-2012 would send Apple fans into states of rapture. Bummer, then, that he turned out to be way too early.

    Apple TV isn't hitting shelves anytime soon. Misek isn't the only one at fault -- everyone got caught up in the Apple guessing game. The New York Times, for instance, reported that Apple was set to announce a TV set by late 2012. But it was Misek who made some of the most specific forecasts. He said he had knowledge of Japanese manufacturer Sharp being asked to produce Apple TV screens. Misek recently revised his outlook, and now expects Apple TV to launch in September or October of 2013. We'll see.
