Not sure about a TV, but a 5K Cinema Display for sure...especially if the margins are there.
It's not that big of a stretch if Apple's already working with OLED suppliers.
Sure you can get by with some LG for likely less, but for many companies, it's a no brainer to pair up with the new modular MacPro. If you've worked with Apple's Business division, you know they will often bundle stuff (naturally pushing Apple branded stuff over third party).

Well, the cellular/mobile market was also saturated in 2007 when they launched the iphone
This was posted yesterday in the forums and I took it into photoshop and found it was faked (there was a box over the apple logo). It looks like the poster actually deleted the entire original thread and then took the photos and blurred them a ton MORE and reposted them to try and hide the fact it was faked. The ones posted yesterday were much more clear.
Here's the less blurry original version and here's what shows up when running error level analysis:
Also, just for posterity's sake, here's the other image I had saved from yesterday that are less blurry than the ones used on the front page:
Why would Apple make a TV if they can't even get the profit margins on displays anymore. I think this is old or fake.
What would motivate me to buy an Apple television? Everyone who wants that interface already has an Apple TV box. There's no major leap in technology happening that I know of. There's hardly even any 4K content still. Are they even going to have room for these in their tiny mall stores?
This whole thing looks fake.
I don't see why Apple would foray into the TV set business. What do they have to gain?
ATV box is a way smarter way to reach consumers and widespread any tech they want to pursue. TV sets are dumb devices anyway. Add an ATV box and voila, you make any display a smart one. No need for Apple to create and distribute huge displays like HDTV sets.
With that said, a pro monitor at 60". WOW, I might like that as a graphic designer. Talk about a massive canvas. LMAO.

just like this rumored Apple TV 4k that supposedly has Dolby Vision and HDR support, too late Apple! Don't care at all to get this set top box after Apple TV 4 turned out to be one of the biggest apple disappointments of all time in terms of potential vs actual usefulness. Ya blew it in the TV segment
happy as heck with my 65" LG OLED, webOS isn't bad, and I got all I need streaming wise/basic HD cable I can't opt out of where I live
this thing will probably also cost at least a million dollars whatever it is or isn't

That is today's perspective towards phones from those days....But if you think of those days back in 2007s, we were in same impression that what else new can come to phone? All blackberry, nokia, palm were considered as unbeatable smarphones at that time. As Steve Jobs said once.....you never come to know what you want, until you see it!

You really think apple's OLED will be close to LG's OLED price? It will double the price for sure......
And it will probably be the worst screen lottery of one's entire life for double the price minimally , too
I read it as a general comment regarding TV standards, to be honest, and thought for about 15 seconds about my TV set-up.
Nowadays, i think nothing about switching on, say, my UHD BluRay payer, or my BT TV (think DTV and Internet Protocol TV HD and UHD box if you're not sure of what I mean), or my Google Chromecast Ultra, and the rest of my system (TV, surround Amp) all comes on and interconnects so that it's all ready to use from a single button press. That's where the Apple TV for me still falls down. If I want to use it, I switch on the Apple TV, and nothing happens. I have to turn the TV on (thankfully that turns on the surround system), change input source to the receiver, and then on the receiver change to the channel used for the Apple TV.
I know this is a First World Problem, but it is symptomatic of how Apple is half-hearted in their development. They can think of good things, but because they don't like to conform to the norms used by everyone else, they gimp the user experience, purely for the hell of it.
You are talking about the poster on Twitter? To me it looks like a new cinema display about 32".This was posted yesterday in the forums and I took it into photoshop and found it was faked (there was a box over the apple logo). It looks like the poster actually deleted the entire original thread and then took the photos and blurred them a ton MORE and reposted them to try and hide the fact it was faked.

I would like to see a good, educated guess as to what percentage of these are genuine as compared to BS.

I never understood wall-mounting a TV.
Usually they are mounted waaay too high. Above the fireplace, in particular, is a terrible angle for viewing.
And you still need a cabinet for various other equipment: cable boxes, streaming boxes, DVD/BR players, game consoles, etc.
