Here’s Why a TV Could Be Apple’s Next Big Winner

Most of those who were surveyed were interested in features including high screen quality and easy-to-use software.

Respondents were also willing to pay a premium for the product, with 46 percent happy to pay more than $1,000 for an Apple-branded TV and 10 percent willing to pay more than $2,000. On average, respondents said they would pay $1,060, a clear 20 percent premium over the $884 paid for the current average television set. The device represents a $13 billion opportunity that could add $4.50 to Apple’s earnings per share, the analyst said.

A sign of high interest from potential consumers will be encouraging for investors, who’re keen to identify growth areas for the company at a time when the stock has been struggling on worries about its future.
