Analyst Gene Munster is so confident that Apple is going to release a television next year, he is already telling those looking to buy a television to wait, reports Business Insider.

Speaking at the IGNITION: Future of Media conference, Munster revealed the following beliefs about Apple's upcoming device:

● It will be a full fledged television set rather than a set top box because Apple thinks people hate to plug things in.
● It will come in a range of sizes in order to appeal to large amount of people.
● It will be priced at TWICE the cost of a normal television.
● It will seamless integrate with other Apple devices, and though it will come with a remote, it can also be controlled by iPhone, iPad, or Siri.
● It will be able to download content, games, and apps from iTunes, the App Store, and iCloud.
● It will think the way you do. ie. Instead of trying to remember what channel is ESPN is on, for example, you'll just fire up (or say) "ESPN."
● It will still require a cable subscription and cable box since Apple can't get all the content otherwise; however, all you have to do is screw in the co-ax cable.
● It will launch for the holiday season next year.
