If there's one company that could redefine the user experience in the living room, what company would that be?

Angelo Zino, senior industry analyst at S&P Capital IQ and SNL, said if any company can do it, it's聽.

CEO Tim Cook on Monday told an audience聽at an event hosted by聽The Wall Street Journal, that聽Apple will become the "foundation" of TV.

Zino added it won't be a needle mover for the company right away, but it would be the start of bigger things to come.

"Siri capabilities overall will help the user experience, and on the operating side, Apple has the best app developers in the world. So expect great apps in the living room," Zino said.

Fourth-generation Apple TV is expected to launch on Oct. 30.聽Apple didn't immediately respond to CNBC's request for a comment.

The company reports earnings after the bell Oct. 27.
