    Ever since Apple (AAPL) debuted the Apple TV set-top box, rumors have been circulating that the company was working on an Apple television — an iTV.

    But so far, those rumors have failed to produce an actual product. Maybe Steve Jobs’ death doomed the product, or maybe Apple has been too busy arguing over the name of its next iPhone, but whatever the reason, consumers have yet to see a glimpse of a tangible, physical product.

    But they might not have to wait much longer.

    The Verge is reporting that Apple has made an offer to buy Primesense, the company that developed the 3D-scanning and motion-tracking technology in Microsoft’s (MSFT) Kinect sensor. The Xbox One announcement demonstrated just how far that technology has come, allowing users to switch TV channels and inputs with simple gestures.

    From what I read recently, Apple offered to buy all the advertising on several of the networks to own the broadcast rights.
