Apple has more than enough money to try 50 experiments like this.


And enough money to buy an existing car company and/or joint venture.


Or even just five large-scale projects.

Surely one would be a TV. Smart TVs right now are woeful, and just providing a weak set-top box on the side might provide something at an accessible price point, but it doesn't solve the real problem.

An ideal smart TV would pre-fetch EPGs to load and switch quickly, have an optional social layer over the video feed (like what Xbox One proposed), and more naturally fit in with other hardware and ways of getting media to the screen.


And not, you know, have always-on voice recognition and a camera and stuff. Or advertising.
