None of those are anything like that even if Apple 
does eventually have a product with one of those. 

They'd actually be much close to the iphone and ipod and ipad. 

I can't see an iWatch being that unless they can work out 
how to use it as the only sensor for all the biometrics that 
matter or the most important ones anyway. Because for
anything else the format is just too limited. 

I cant see iTV being any better than Samsung TV unless
Apple can work out how to get the industry to let them
flog content like they do with the iTunes store etc and
that doesn't look that likely IMO. 

iGlasses would certainly be a very useful and marketable
product if they can make it work, particularly for those
who already wear prescription glasses. But it remains
to be seen if anyone can work out how to allow the
user to specify what they want done with that format. 

I guess some combination of blinking and where you
are looking might be viable, but that's been researched
for a hell of a long time now for the profoundly disabled
and nothing much has shown up there yet, and so its 
a tad unlikely that Apple will leave the rest of the world
for dead there now.
