If Apple does something here, I guarantee you that you will be wrong.

The big thing is the if. Apple isn't going to enter this space to create another "me, too" product. They are only going to enter the space if they can do to TV what the iPhone did to mobile phones.

A lot of people think Jobs' implied that they had figured out the TV interface. I hope so, because I'm with a large majority of others in this thread: current "smart TV" is stupid and completely lacks imagination.

I really don't get it why people over here are heads over heels about Apple. They most definitely will not re-invent the wheel.

Track record. They released several revolutionary products in the last ten years.

Maybe the wheel hasn't been invented yet. There is a lot of potential to disturb the "SmartTV" market. The current offerings are mediocre, at best.
