If Cupertino gets its claws into big screen TV's we'll be forced to listen to people accuse everyone else stealing Apples innovations. You know those revolutionary things that Apple invented and wouldn't have happened with out Apple, flat screens, black frames, sleek looks, a lack of vacuum tubes... joy.

They might, but I just don't see it. I do see them partnering with someone like LG though to make an LG flatscreen "powered by Apple iOS". These sets would be sold through LG's current retail channels as well as directly from Apple. Let LG do what they do best and Apple can do what it does best all the while leveraging not only LG's expertise and existing patent portfolios but also their retail capabilities. Oh and that 55 inch set is gorgeous!

You can drop it and nothing would happen. That's why the military uses it.

Now any possible copartners product could be envisioned as "AppleTV" solution. We all know that Apple while very good at some things is not good at everything. They are the masters of creating a artistic somewhat expensive computer or smart device, but that is focused on that niche. The chief problem with tackling the home video market is that USA customers are used to a subscription model and just need whats good enough to interest them. No matter how impressive a HDTV is with a iOS interface as a possibility, consumers don't want that, they just want to turn on a box and watch one of the many networks that offers content. The box preferably should be cheap, very cheap. This means that Apple would have to compete with every other means of which consumers watch live shows and sporting events. So how are they going to pull that off?

A TV that big but is only 4mm thick... would be extremely breakable. I'm afraid it'll shatter before it even makes it into my living room. Will this be 2mm gorilla glass on both sides? Where will all the TV components be? How about inputs?

Not yestertech 1080anything.

I read elsewhere that this set costs in excess of 5K. Just a bit out of most peoples price range.

Everything you people want is easily done with the existing Apple TV set top box, it's just a software update away. The problem isn't the TV, it's the content and how you get it on there and interact with finding it and so on. I wish these rumours would just go away, they're ridiculous and make no financial (or logical) sense.

I think this is the problem we always see rendering or even prototypes from companies but they never release them.

But if LG was really making the hardware for Apple's first ever HDTV I don't see how Apple would allow LG to release a set that looks similar to what they may be releasing. Sure the software under the hood will make all the difference but if this set is already out there wouldn't be anything aesthetically different about this set and Apple's set. Then again, my guess is all the manufacturers are working on bezel-less displays.
