I found this article at Hypebot interesting and also not a big surprise in some ways. I still own an iPod Classic and use it a lot. For a start I can only carry around half my music collection on my iPhone and as apps and data continue to take up space that % dwindles too.
Apple never seem to be that sorry when a product dies off. They always seem focused on what's next, which makes sense, and it wouldn't be a shock if the traditional iPod line vanished in time.

I think it is more that Apple evolves their product lines, rather than abandons them. Who needs an old iPod now that we have iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads. Digital music is just moving to newer devices.
ReplyDeleteI still have my original old iPod and it is amazing how far the technology has come in a few years. I can't wait to see what Apple has in store for us tomorrow!
I still have my iPod classic and somewhere I've got a mini which I keep meaning to put Pd on.
