Apple's first product event of 2013 may be closer then you think.

Peter Misek, senior technology analyst at Jefferies, predicts the first event will occur in March and will be a TV related event.

Don't get to excited though, it won't be unveiling the actual iTV, but it could show off a software development kit (SDK), which would allow developers to make games and applications for Apple TV.

Peter Misek, Jefferies & Company, says Apple will introduce a program that allows developers to write apps for Apple TV.

"We think there is a huge developer opportunity in the living room, utilizing the existing Apple TV set top box, which may or may not be in advance of an actual television," he said to CNBC on Thursday. "We think developers are clamoring for an opportunity to get access to that."
