7 Things Apple Must Do in 2013
2. Transform TV, Twice
Depending on which reports you read (and believe), a new Apple TV product is either imminent or not launching until the end of next year. Actually, both timetables might be right. In the short term, Apple could be readying a new set-top box that would integrate with your cable service, banishing cable's ugly and confusing program guide in favor of a cleaner, sleeker UI. I also expect Apple to add Siri into the mix. Think, “Please record the Giants game,” or “Play Game of Thrones.” Motion controls are also a strong possibility.
But in the long term, Apple may debut a physical TV. Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster predicts a set in 2013 holiday season that costs between $1,500 and $2,200, with sizes ranging from 42 inches (great for the bedroom) to 55 inches. I'm not convinced that Apple is ready to enter the big-screen TV market, but it's clear that the company needs to focus on evolving the living room experience next year. With a rumored Xbox TV set-top box on the way that will combine entertainment and casual Kinect games, the next Apple TV(s) will face competition from both new players and established veterans, like Samsung.

If Apple never tries to appease the mass market is just fine for me. Sure bring out the useful/cool features but stay true to your core Apple.

“Plus, Apple has the best-selling laptop in the United States with the $1,199 MacBook Pro.”
Are you really trying to tell me that a $1200 MacBook Pro is outselling a $400 HP Pavilion?
