The rumor that Apple has a TV in the works has been one that periodically resurfaces without much basis. We’re not talking about the AppleTV set-top box, but a complete television set, based around iOS. Today’s rumor comes from DailyTech, and according to a “former Apple executive, speaking with us on condition of anonymity,” Apple wants to go into the TV business. ”You’ll go into an Apple retail store and be able to walk out with a TV. It’s perfect,” he said.
Sorry folks, but without some pretty substantial evidence, I’m not ready to buy it. I’d be very, very surprised if this rumor had any legs, and that Apple was really considering a fully integrated TV set that you could buy from an Apple store, when they can sell a box which does exactly that on any TV for $99, and not have to deal with screen manufacturers.
