But I think Apple will be able to reinvent TV. TV today has completely stagnated. I bought last years top of the line Samsung TV, knowing that the new tech in this years model would become as useless as the last year tech. The TV is nice and this years image quality is the same, the smart hub is useless and slow....Smart TV today is as dumb as yesterdays smartphones. Just writing in your info with that remote is hell. And I knew the voice recognition and gesture controls would be as bad in the next model, and I was right. I'm not using any of this stuff, its just gimmicks. Apple will manage to fix that, as they have a completely different quality control when developing new stuff.
So here's the future: Apple will make a TV with a LOT of limitations but with such a nice user interface you just have to experience it. The content will be very narrowed (at first) and people who like to plug all kinds of stuff into their tv will have to buy something else. But it will sell a ton anywah, because it's got the apple logo, the sexy user interface and sort of new experience. Then....all the other companies are stuck, they can't compete, because they are selling tv almost without any profit and they need to do something tegother to stay in the fight...Google makes a halfassed android like ripoff and suddenly all other tv manufacturers get a ok'ish OS which over time will become a decent competition. Sounds familiar...
