They aren't an indie company. They need to sell products that will cater to everyone. It's their business model. Having niche products like an iPod nowadays will waste valuable resources like research and engineering for nearly no profit margin in the end, they could lose millions along the process.

I remember having my first I pod touch. And it was the really old ones I think mine was around the 3rd gen era. My parents got me one to see how well I could take care of it. Oh lord I loved that thing. I took great care of it. Never did I dare to take it out of its case or drop it. And when I did take it out of its case I did it on a soft surface to clean it. I remember getting apps like oovoo, tango, and line where I could watch ads and rack up minutes. Line back then gave you a phone number to use which was so sick on I pod. And it’s what a kid could do for not having a phone yet. I felt like a big man being able to call my cousins that had phones already. It was a very satisfying thing for me because I truly feel like I earned it. Pretty soon my parents felt comfortable enough to buy me my first I phone 5. Than the 6,7 and X. I now have a 13 and take care of it the same way I took care of my little I pod. I actually have my first ever iPod touch in my piano seat. Unfortunately it got disabled for 42 years somehow. But I’m trying to find a way to access it without restoring it. Point is, I will never forget my humble beginnings and it all started with an I pod touch.

Can you cover the Apple Carnegie Library location in DC?? It’s a dope space but I’d love to know some history and process!

I still think there's space for a dedicated music device. It's kind of hard playing music on my phone sometimes while it's getting interrupted by calls and texts. And my song library takes up memory, so I can't have everything on my phone plus all of the other apps, photos, and video as well.

I still use all my ipods. Home, gym, car. What people see as their vinyl record collection, my ipod and external hard drives are mine. I think they could have kept, change the colors every now and then and still make them money, albeit, not as much as the iphone. Was really wishing they would come back with an ipod nano.

I have a 4th gen touch, a 3rd gen Nano, and a 2nd gen Nano. I don’t use them anymore, but I sure do love ‘em! We’ll miss you iPod, you did well and you’ll be remembered.

The ipod touch could've definitely stayed a while longer. it was basically the cheapest solution to experience IOS, while the base ipad was the 2nd cheapest (but with ipadOS) they could've made a new version this year, one with some slight upgrades, like a better screen resolution. Maybe it would have an A13 like the 9th gen ipad, or it could have an iteration of the A15 called the A15 lite, with it being underclocked, with one less GPU core, and maybe 3 or 4GBs of ram. Now the ipad and iphone SE are the cheapest mobile apple devices, meaning those are the best entry level devices for IOS. The ipod could've still stayed, because the touch specifically has all of the features of the iphone, excluding mobile plans, and better cameras

I would say the iPod touch was discontinued due to recent iPhone and iPad shortages in the past two years.

Just like when Microsoft discontinued the Xbox One X to keep up the Series X sales.

Can you make a video on apples packaging they way they designed their boxes and stuff? Thank you!

As far as I’m concerned the ipod nano is the only one that is still useful It’s much smaller and weights much less than an iphone, it charges in 10 minutes and it’s great when running or cycling since it tracks your distance and average speed, and since it’s so small it can be carried much easier than a whole iphone

@@mattiarubio3240 Okay, listen. It’s one thing for you to defend your precious iPod Nano from 2005, but then to call me a clown for suggesting you keep up with modern society? What was that for? All I was commenting on is that all your specifications you worship so much also come with the Apple Watch. You call the iPod nano useful? Well, Apple only *improves* their performance in technology. That was 17 years ago. Think of what they have accomplished now. They made the Apple Watch for a reason, and it wasn’t only for marketing and business. They have the same features, with the Apple Watch having much more. Its, as you said, “smaller and weighs much less than an iPhone,” (although, an iPhone didn’t even exist back then, so really that is completely useless to compare it to. Absolutely useless information). It charges very quickly. About 2 hours, from 0% to 100%. Realistically nobody, charges their Apple Watch from 0% to 100%. Also, as you said, “..it’s great when running or cycling since it tracks your distance and average speed..” so does an Apple Watch. Just much more improved and accurate benchmarks are included in the Apple Watch since it has much improved technology and not from 17 years ago. “Since it’s so small it can be carried much easier than a whole iPhone” well, I’ll have you know the Apple Watch does not need to be carried. Rather, it quite literally just straps to your wrist. Don’t even need to carry it. Problem solved. You might add, how you have to have your iPhone around you in order to fully unlock its full potential. Well, an Apple Watch series 7 can go up to 30 feet distance from its connected iPhone. If you’re just in the house, you will have no problem. If you are outdoors for a jog, well, it’s 2022. Everyone has their phone on them at all times realistically. It’s just being in the modern society of 2022. Listening to music. You say you can’t listen to music without paying on the Apple Watch? Wrong. Do you even own one? I have KZread music installed on my Apple Watch. Its free. The iPod nano, according to google, wasn’t exactly the easiest to listen to music on anyway. You had to plug it into a computer, open iTunes, and drag songs you already *purchased* from iTunes into your iPod nano. Not exactly free, either. Sure, you can listen to the radio. That must suck. You can’t just “skip a song” on the radio. You call it expensive? The iPod Nano was 149 + tax in 2005. That would be just around $220.57 today. The Apple Watch series 7 is around $530 + tax. That would be $361.76 in 2005. The ~140 extra dollars for the Apple Watch is totally worth the money anyway, including its hundreds of features the iPod nano doesn’t have. Adding AirPods to listen to music for the Apple Watch may be a hefty price tag. Then don’t buy AirPods if you can’t afford them. Cheap wireless earbuds that aren’t made by apple can also connect to apple watches just as any other apple device. AirPods are just the best option and sync the best and have extra features. The Apple Watch is really just the improved iPod nano. They don’t have entirely different functions. I can compare them. And I just did, *clown.*

bought a used ipod touch 6th gen knowing that the battery doesn't last more that 8 min. The problem is I don't know if it's the battery the problem or the ipod. (I haven't fixed it yet). I noticed that the problematic battery charges in 10 minutes and in 8 min it's gone. But could it be the ipod's problem??? For a moment as I was using it the battery from wery low became medium loaded

Why?

As a iPod lover for 4 years. It’s sad to see one of the most legacy devices go. ;( I’m sure many people got an iPod before an iPhone.

It makes me proud to still own 2 32 GB 4th Generation iPod Touches.

I'm fairly new to this channel, but when he does his polls to decide on his next video doesn't every single option eventually become a video over time? I'm scrolling through old polls and a majority of them have all 3, 4, or 5 options becoming videos or included in future pulls, for a second, third, or fourth time until they're chosen.

The same.

Finally, some unbiased content.

I still have an iPod touch 7 and i love it

Also because at this point you can buy a second hand iPhone xr or something like that for almost the same price as a brand new iPod back then. So not only can you use it the same way as an iPod but whenever you want to get a phone number you can easily do so.

I have a niece born last November. How will she listen to music without an iPod? Shameful mistake Apple to discontinue the iPod. I had one on my 17th birthday.

My first apple Device was an iPod touch 4G, for me it was a revolutionary thing and helped me a lot at the university, then when I bought an iPhone 4S and the iPod got useless, this year I bought an iPhone 13 and a MacBook Pro 16, very good quality devices
