#2If it can run apps, it's probably worth it to have some storage for future use cases. For the reference, 1 hour of 4k video apparently uses ~7GB of space. It doesn't seem unreasonable for a streaming video player to cache the movies you started watching.

#3I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s literally an iPhone 11 logic board in there. Would make a lot of sense.

#4So, looks like Apple may be planning to release their own ios powered Smart TV in the future.

I mean… integrating an Apple TV (which is a form of iOS, and runs on phone CPUs already) into the screen seems easy enough at this point.

#6It looks like a missed opportunity to put a faceID capable sensor to support motion gestures within a tvOS offshoot standalone app environment, plus authentication.

#7I don't think there's anything to see here. It's just because that's the component they have lying around. The economy of scale likely means it makes more sense for them to reuse what they already have than to manufacture something new with lower storage.

It can't run apps. Yet anyways. It has an A13 and runs iOS to do camera processing and monitor stuff but there's no app store or Apple TV features. Apple sells Apple TVs with less storage.

#9If this thing gets a jailbreak, it's poised to be a legendary display. It's essentially really powerful computer embedded into a display.
By processing the stream, many interesting stuff can be done. Maybe it can detect guns, faces or human figures in games and help game players? Maybe it can be used to record, stream or manage the screen?
Of course, I assume it has access to the image delivery. Maybe it cannot access it due to DRM stuff.

I don't think they will. They are in the brain market, not the screen market.
TVs are basically a home appliance. People rarely replace them, and when they do, it's often the cheapest 4K display at their desired size.
Apple is not about any of that. Yes, they could easily build a super premium TV, but what kind of a margin they could squeeze if they make it a top-of-the-line TV with all the features you can imagine? It'd likely be a product with a 5 figure price tag (or $9999, because it's just 4 figures!) with an unacceptably low margin for them.
They have no doubt flirted with that idea, but I can't see how they can execute on it. all TVs basically look the same, because the only 2 things the vast majority of people care about when buying a new TV is 1. price, 2. bezel size.
