After the latestApple TV rumor , an analyst take — once again — that Apple will make a 40 - in TV for $ 2,000 , perhaps withintegrated apps , gaming and iPhones / iPad connectivity . If true , that would be a very stupid idea .

Gene Munster — a Piper Jaffray analyst whom I ca n’t recall being right one single sentence — claim that the incoming iTV is just a “ stepping stone ” to an “ all - in - one ” 40 - inch television that will arrive in 2012 . He consider that this television — the substantial Apple telly — will make $ 2.6 billion in tax revenue then , grow sharp to $ 7.6 billion in 2014 . He also enounce that the twist — which theoretically would be just a flat cover with an iOS - based iTV at heart — will be sold at $ 2,000 , a large price jump over any HD television set of the same sizing .
However , he does n’t provide with any trial impression , just like the other TV rumor he and others announce — and which never materialize . Moreover , he also fails to answer some of the essence questions . He does n’t say what Apple could get from this that they ca n’t get from their incoming iTV gimmick . Or what could Apple win by getting into the cutthroat TV market , just repackaging a TV silver screen with an pseudo - iPod jot indoors . More significantly , he fails to address the win for the consumer .
Why ? Because nobody deliver the goods .
The big silly box
The argument in favor of the large Apple TV is that , according to some analyst , Steve Jobs & Co. can re - invent TVs just like they re - invented the smartphone or the lozenge . They could do this just like they are doing now with their current computer hardware production : Repackaging off - the - ledge components into nicely plan gadgets and computers , tightly integrated with very proficient computer software , all sell with a hefty Mary Leontyne Price tolerance .
However , things in the TV manufacture are not in the same state as the cell industry was three years ago , when the iPhone was first introduced .
• TV — no matter how big and advanced — are perceived as silly boxes by the legal age of the universe , who already have sight . They are already in their living rooms and bedrooms , and they use them regularly without any difficulty or job whatsoever .
• video can be a lot of thing for many people . It ’s not the tv set that makes the TV , it ’s what you link up to the TV , what you show on it . For everyone , TV is the movies and programming that total via air or cable boxes . For most , it ’s the discs that descend in the mail or they buy at Walmart . For many , it ’s also their game cabinet . For some , it ’s the box that stream TV and movies from the internet too . TVs are already the hub .
• openhanded TVs are also expensive appliances that most people already own and do n’t transfer regularly . Unlike earphone , a large TV will have a farsighted liveliness in your house theater .
• People expect their TVs to be able-bodied to show everything they want , not just a limited stage set of material ( an Apple television will be walled and subject tocensorship ) .

Given those circumstance , it will be knockout for Apple to make a strong case in favor of a new $ 2,000 — or probably more — TV Seth , no matter how sorcerous it is .
The little smart box
Apple does n’t need to make expensive great boxes when they can make inexpensive little boxes that could turn all TVs into iOS - based Apple TVs . One simple gadget that can turn any TV into an iTV . In fact , what really nominate horse sense is to plan this box asa bridge between your TV and your iPhone , iPod tactile sensation , and iPad ?
• For Apple , this solvent is the better option from a marketing point of view . It ’s right smart chintzy to produce , hand out , and support . It will also have a higher margin and could sell in much bigger number than a $ 2,000 television .
• For consumers — especially for the more than 100 million people who already have iOS equipment now — it ’s also the best option : An inexpensive style to love the same features of their beloved iOS devices in the big projection screen . Netflix , Hulu , and Apple moving-picture show and series deliver through wireless , swarm - establish music services , iOS diligence tied to your iPhone and iPad , a Brobdingnagian amount of game with the graphics levelof a Playstation 2 … all pass off on your current television set as an extension to your current iOS gadget .

So , while perhaps there is a genuine tv set in Apple ’s future , it really does n’t make a mint of sense compared to the rumored option . As an iPhone and iPad drug user , I know I would never purchase a $ 2,000 Apple TV , but I will definitely buy an iTV to link to my flat projection screen or projector . I ’m certain that Apple would rather exploit into their live 100 million Io gadget users than crusade for a space in thesoulless television set ledge of Best Buy and Walmart .
