The questions no one ever asks about the mythical Apple HDTV

The end of the article maybe got it right : what if the apple tv really was just the Apple Tv ? The one already being sold. Jobs was quoted as saying that he finally found the solution to TV. What if it meant to completely separate any kind of intelligence from the big heavy screen to move it aside in a small easy to replace box ?<p>That would be funny. People gossiping about a product without realizing it&#x27;s already on sale :)

The analysts and tech media pundits always bring up a possible watch or TV as apple&#x27;s next blockbuster, game changing product. But making TVs by itself doesn&#x27;t sound like a good business decision to me. It would be hard to maintain healthy margins if they have to fragment their hardware production to cover something as costly as making next generation, HD televisions.<p>I guess the only real upside of an Apple TV (for Apple), is that its in their most critical interest to be in every media and communication interaction of one&#x27;s day to day life. If Apple makes your phone, your computer, your tablet, your car&#x27;s software, your music player AND your TV, they will pretty much have a figurative monopoly over your attention and an endless spectrum to sell you things via iTunes. Given that, tighter margins might be somewhat of a trade off for more presence in the life of an Apple user&#x2F;Apple using family.

I&#x27;ve written similar things myself in the past[0].<p>The bit missed by the article is the complexity of supporting global broadcasts so I think an AppleTV would be IP (and HDMI) only.<p>I&#x27;m sure the UI would be great but you don&#x27;t use the UI much on a TV, you out what you want on and then you watch.<p>I argued that the best reason to enter the TV market would be to hurt Samsung rather than to make big profits.<p>Of course, mobile phone pundits got the iPhone wrong so it is possible that I&#x27;m completely wrong.<p>[0] <a href="http://blog.jtl.me.uk/apple-tv-the-market-challenges" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.jtl.me.uk&#x2F;apple-tv-the-market-challenges</a>

Apple hasn&#x27;t had trouble selling 27&quot;&#x2F;30&quot; Displays and iMacs before, if they can handle those, they can handle a HDTV display. An Apple TV Set just needs two things:<p>1. Input ZERO for Airplay. When you airplay a video from your phone&#x2F;iPad, the TV turns on automatically and starts playing the video without you having to find the crappy TV and receiver remotes and switching to the right input.<p>2. The ability to upgrade easily by just plugging in a new $99 puck whenever you want to take advantage of a new service that requires more processing speed.

I&#x27;m pretty sure if we ever see the Apple TV, it will be an entirely different UX than what we have become accustomed to. Just like you don&#x27;t compare your smart &quot;phone&quot; with a classic &quot;phone&quot;, you probably won&#x27;t compare your Apple TV with a classic TV. They will be the same only in name and form factor, but the experience and functionality will be much different.

You know which product is overdue for apple-style innovation ?<p>The macbook air.

This assumes that all a TV needs is picture quality. But a TV could &amp; should show dynamic content by knowing the difference between me and my roommate.<p>Or what about enabling augmented experiences with my phone?<p>There&#x27;s plenty of room for innovation outside of just a quality picture.

I think the Apple TV will be elliptical and so instead of sometimes having black bars when fitting content&#x27;s resolution you&#x27;ll always have four (active) parabolic edges (of varying size) that can display various info -- time&#x2F;channel&#x2F;chapter&#x2F;url&#x2F;subtitles&#x2F;your friends&#x27; faces&#x2F;etc.<p>The main reason for making an oval tv will of course be the novelty and design patent protection.
