The theory that MVIS and Apple are engaged right now seems like a stretch to some; but my efforts to disprove it have failed.
I do not think that PicoP will be embedded in iPhones this year.
My favorite theory for what Apple could release is an iPod/Apple TV combo device with an incorporated PicoP & a fantastic video content service on iTunes.
Some recent about the Apple pipeline of "new category of product."
"Mr Cook told investors that he was “incredibly excited” about the new products and services around the corner, “that we can’t wait to introduce”. The notoriously secretive company did not go into specific details, but it is widely expected to unveil a so-called “smart” watch and is also rumoured to be close to launching a sophisticated Apple TV."

Apple R&D Spending Spikes + 36%
"...Apple's $1.6 billion quarterly investment represents 4 percent of sales, the highest percentage of spending in R&D since 2006, the year before Apple released the first iPhone."
"This huge increase supports rumors the company is investing significantly in more than just new iPhones, iPads, and Macs for its upcoming product pipeline. Apple CEO Tim Cook has repeatedly confirmed the company is preparing to enter new product categories, with Cook saying Apple is working "really great stuff." Apple's Internet Software and Services chief Eddy Cue also enthusiastically noted that Apple's planned products for 2014 are "the best product pipeline that I've seen in my 25 years at Apple."

There are a lot of reasons to be excited about Apple right now, but if you believe Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty, we’re just getting started.
Based on Apple’s quarterly SEC filing, Huberty believes Apple’s revenue is set to explode over the coming quarters, since she claims Cupertino’s off-balance sheet commitments “confirm major product ramps later this year.”

An off-balance sheet commitment refers to third-party manufacturers, component purchases, commitments for product tooling/manufacturing process equipment, advertising, research and development, and Internet and telecommunications services.
