Apple will offer U.S. TV shows for $1 each, according to the Financial Times, starting with the release of the iPad -- expected sometime in April. The move is described by "people familiar with the discussions" as a "test" to see whether cheaper downloads will result in increased sales.
TV episodes are normally $1.99 for standard-definition and $2.99 for high-definition through iTunes. The Financial Times says that "some" television networks acceded to Apple's push for lower-priced episodes, but it's not clear which ones those are, and Apple isn't commenting.
