Many may be sceptical about the headline above regarding Apple's entry into the gaming market, but this is a company that never stands still and is keen to expand in every direction. Apple made its first move into this sector with its Apple Arcade software, recognising the lucrative potential of gaming. Gaming hardware, however, is an entirely different proposition.
A tweet from leaker @FrontTron suggests that people with inside connections on a Korean forum are discussing the possibility of Apple developing its own console in the near future! Taking inspiration from the concept and features of the Nintendo Switch, Apple's console would be a portable hybrid device that could be used independently or connected to any television.
The people who shared these details say that Apple is already in talks with Ubisoft, as well as other game developers. However, it is still too early to get excited, as similar rumours have surfaced in the past about a gaming Mac that the company never released.
Of course, let's not forget the Pippin, the gaming console that Apple developed and released in partnership with Bancai in the mid-90s, without much success.
