Why Apple Hasn't Shipped a Full TV. Hint: 12x12

>Finding floor space to display 15 TVs ranging from 27 to 60-inches, plus hundreds of units of inventory, is no easy feat.

What in the wide, wide world of sports indicates that Apple will or would introduce a line of 15 TVs? Assuming they ever do enter the market, there will be exactly one model (edited to add: including a good, better, best within the model). Maybe more models and sizes later, but there will be only one to start.

That's pretty interesting reasoning but it's based on a key flawed assumption: that Apple would offer anywhere near 15 screen sizes. Given Apple's history I think it's reasonable to assume they would sell two or maybe three sizes max.

Also, this is their first product that would be primarily wall mounted. Not needing space for peripherals would open up new display options -- like sticking them on a wall.

Even if Apple were to introduce 15 different display sizes, which isn't really likely, who says they have to show you every single one in the store. What sets an Apple television apart from the rest is the interface and the software. You need maybe one or two models in store to showcase that. People know how big a TV is, they have these things called tape measures that they use to find out how big something is.

Apple already puts TVs in their stores to showcase the Apple TV device. They could just replace those with the Apple "TV set".

I don't understand what 3D printing has to do with floor space. You can't print an iMac.

Also, this post assumes that Apple will make TVs 'ranging from 27 to 60 inches', which seems very un-Apple, at best.

I don't buy the proposition that apple tv hasn't done well because televisions that aren't made by apple aren't good enough.
