Joshua ijaola that wasn't for quality control bubbles meant there was are with which it could be thinker and people thought that thinner is better it's not waterproof
It is funny how he left the impossible to everyone else and then takes the credit. Maybe people should quit worshiping Steve and look to the real inventors.
iPods are nice for people who don’t want a smartphone, have a limited data plan, old school people, people who listen to a shit ton of music and don’t want to load up their phone’s memory(especially if it’s a small sized phone)
I have about 30 GB of music on my phone. All you need is a phone with a memory card. I used to have an ipod classic 120 GB back in the days, that shit had tonnes of buffering once you started filling it up. Today of course that would be done with flash storage, but it's a really small market so it's not in apples interest.
Innovation is fine but BAD idea to retire Cover Flow. Jobs understood the appeal of album art and it looked fantastic on the iPhones and iPod touches with Cover Flow especially on the Retina display, also a great user interface.
dynaco love cover flow, but history wise they stole it from from another app. Well purchased it. They saw how cool it was. It does seem apple is less innovative in terms of visible design than beforehand. Even OS X is all flat and Square. What attracted me to Apple was there Visual design.
Windows stole their titular 'window' from Apple. That court case had a simple result: UI isn't IP. If Microsoft could outright steal the window concept, Apple can steal design language like cover flow.
+seem2002 Yes, I also thought it was a typo when I looked it up on the apple website, but no it's actually 160 GB. Really the only issue with the iPod Classic is that the OS was probably not meant to have 160 GB, as the more you fill-up the storage the worse it preforms to the point that it'll start crashing when you open apps, or by looking at your music collection.
I still have my DSi XL, but I really play it that much anymore. It sucks because I bought it a few months before the 3DS came out so all the new games were being made for that instead.
@@thedarkforce9596 I can confirm. I have a Mini that I upgraded to 128GB via a CF to SD adapter and I love that thing to bits. It's small, lasts me a few days, and could fit my collection twice.
The iPod still has a purpose. There are many of us still living today that don't want to carry music around on our phones, especially when we're at the gym, or outside doing exercise, or walking around, or anything of that sort, especially since cell phones are getting more and more fragile and cost way too much to fix.
I remember when I was about 6 or 7 years old I had to clean my room and keep it clean for a week and then I could have an iPod Shuffle 4th Generation. Good times.
Sirus Blenke I have my classic from like 2009. It still works and has decent battery life unfortunately I lost it a couple months ago and haven't been able to find it. I really miss it because my iPhone jack doesn't work for some reason so I need it to play music on something other than headphones and it's annoying dragging a laptop around so I can just play some music. I miss my 160gb iPod classic
It is the right move if you think about it though. Sure, it might be inconvenient for us now, but who else but the big players like Apple will push other companies to produce more wireless headphones? We see more affordable wireless headphones everyday. Still though, if they really believe in wireless, they should've included wireless headphones in the box...
Ikr, and their explanation was pretty absurd “it didn’t fit” yeah right. There wasn’t anything on the iPhone 7 that was so amazing that it would actually accommodate for the removal of the jack. I know that the wireless future is coming but it isn’t a standard yet. It’s just stupid. They should have kept it until at least the iPhone X if they wanted to remove it so badly. The iPhone X had so much change and new things about it that removing the jack would be far more acceptable. It was also released “alongside” the iPhone 8 so it would have given people that didn’t care about these changes a direct opportunity to still get a good phone that still had the jack but lacked a few features. Or they could have already removed it on the 8 which would give people more differences between the iPhone 7 and 8. They tried to introduce the revolutionary wireless future with something as umnrevolutionary as the iPhone 7.
@@miakempster2828 It's not just a small wire. It contains a DAC to convert the audio signal from digital to analog. In fact, you can buy more expensive adapters, which make the sound quality better.
I remember always wanting a Ipod but because we were so poor the best I was able to get was the Shuffle and now as you stated in the video the Ipod is a relic of the past but I would still like to track one down eventually.
I have a ton of old CDs/mp3s by independent bands, bootlegs, live albums, demos etc that just aren't available on Spotify or Apple Music. My iPod and iTunes library is essential!
ipod classic with a huge amount of storage = apple music Would you rather load your phone up with music and run out of storage or have a device dedicated to music? I'd choose the latter, personally.
I miss my 4th gen iPod nano. It was lime green, had I think 8gb of storage. It was a great device. Then I bought an iPhone. I am with some others, looking back I might still buy one today. It lasted for hours on end. Much longer then my iPhone, and it sounded very, very good and it had to since it was the main purpose. It was a very nice device.
I love your videos by the way you have cool videos I love the video of you doing the 2000 video can you do another video of living in the 90s I grew up in the 90s good job in all your videos
I still use my iPod Nano, but most of the time when I have access to Internet I just use Spotify on my phone instead, because I get bored of listening to the same songs that I own on my iPod. My last iPod accidentally went in the washing machine. :(
"What were they thinking?!" This phrase now comes to my mind whenever they screw up the UI and the other stuff of iPhone. In the Nerd's voice! Love the reference to the AVGN... or am I reading too much? Anyway. Loved the video. Cheetos!
I have been using a nano everyday for many years. I like the UI of the latest version. It’s a slimmed down version of iOS that is really simple to use. Yes I have music on my phone too, but I like having a dedicated player for downloaded BBC comedies and plays. It’s much easier to use the nano when travelling to work on public transport and it doesn’t run down the battery on my phone.
I got a Nano 3G about a year ago, after owning several Androids and non-iPods, and it's probably the best music player I've ever owned. The sound quality is better than the iPhone 4 I compared it to, and as a Linux user, it's the easiest to manage music player I've ever owned. With Androids I had to tweak things, iPhone is just flat out incompatible, but the Nano 3G just works. At some point the battery may become useless or I may not be able to write to the flash memory anymore, but the software is static (will never be updated or replaced), so it will always work the same way, without slowing down or freezing up, and since the music is digital there is no degradation in quality over time. Which means until the battery dies and it's unfeasible to replace it, I'll be using my iPod for music for a very long time. And even when the day does come that I can't write to it anymore and the battery is useless, I can still plug it in and pull the music from it, and then it's a digital time capsule/archive.
There's still room for an MP3 player though. It's just that with the most popular one being tied to Itunes which people didn't want to use with the rise of youtube and spotify. If there was an Ipod with ful support of spotify, youtube and amazon music then it would be moderately successful for those people that want a higher quality listening experience and more space reserved for music
iPod Classic used a 1.8 inch hard drive. Toshiba used to make them, but they discontinued them, which was the reason that Apple killed off the iPod Classic. I don't think a hard drive that small can be made in a 1TB capacity. The only option would be to go with an SSD, in which case the iPod Classic 1TB would cost at least $799.
yeah but the iPod touch is great for kids though. it does everything a phone can do except hold a sim card which in my opinion is still great when you don't want to buy an iPad for the kids. apple please don't kill off the iPod touch
The ipod nano 6th gen is so small and practical, the i phone or any other phone is no where near that size. doing Parkour with a phone in your pocket is a pain in the ass. i was hoping for the following gens to be the same size considering that its called i pod nano. Now i have to look for a replacement, i really hope small mp3s don`t die out until innovative technology can actually replace them.
Should've bought the iPod Shuffle 4th generation. It is smaller than the iPod Nano 6th generation, and it has physical music controls for volume, pause, next song, previous song, and switching between shuffle mode and playing in order mode. It doesn't have a screen, and it only has 2GB of storage, but aside from that, it's a very good MP3 player.
I know about the shuffle i`m sure its a good player but for me its essential having a screen. I need to be able to select exactly what i want, i use my nano for a lot of situations i have specific playlists, 2 GB is not enough for me and i can pretty much to the same with the nano, it has physical control for volume and next title, i also use the Fitness function when i go for a run.
As an owner of an iPod touch 5 and a current user of a LG Aristo (BEST BUDGET PHONE, BTW!), an iPod touch is handy for those who have android phone or device! It would be REALLY 🆒 if someone were to make an iOS 11 emulation for PC!😊
I also have an iPod Touch 5th generation. I have the 16GB black/silver model with no rear facing camera. It can still run Minecraft, the same version that runs on Xbox One, which is a true testament to how good it really was.
I used to own the ipod classic, but I eventually stopped using it once I got the iTouch. But we still kept the ipod around, mostly hooked on the car radio as some kind of a playlist for long car rides. But we eventually gave it up once we got some warnings that the ipod could catch fire or at worse scenarios, explode (that was mostly a rumour, but the claims that it could catch fire were true). The only complaint I had with the ipod is that there was no power button. The only way you could turn off the ipod was by holding down the middle and menu button until the screen turned off. Sometimes the ipod would glitch out and cause those buttons to stop responding which means that you have to reset the ipod to get those buttons working again, which you could only do through a computer.
My favorite iPod was the iPod video in Black and the nano of the same glossy/glass-ish plastic finish! Talk about beauty. Apple isn't known for this but it would be amazing if they did a retro release of certain iPods with present-day tech
Soon the iphone wont have buttons, mute switch, or a notch, the screen will voabrate as a speaker, the camera will be under the screen, you will use controll center for volume, you will use raise to wake, there will be no speaker or charging port, it will use wireless charging and it wall viabrate as a speaker
I had the fifth generation of iPod (still have it somewhere) and I loved it. It was expensive but it was miles ahead of competitors when it came to storage capacity
The only product Apple ever made that I wanted was an iPod classic 5th-7th generations. Please Apple bring back the iPod classic and make it a HiFi player for us audiophiles.
Very well done video! I agree that the iPod was is a cool idea and I don't even know what the hell Tim Cook is thinking. He only wants money now. No innovation.
Spicypicklez ........what? So because Apple didn’t want to keep around a dedicated music player, that’s a bad thing? How many dedicated music players do you see being released and bought? It’s because they are more limited in their music playing capability than our phones. The rise of streaming services, higher capacity phones, cloud based streaming of purchased songs, data plans, data plans that don’t charge you data for streaming music, etc, all contributed to the iPods death. And did you not see the sales chart that Rod Studios put into the video. You can clearly see the massively downward track the iPod was on for years. Why would Apple continue investing into a product that fewer than 500k people might buy and that Apple believes is an obsolete way to listen to music?
The thing about killing the iPod is what about children? When I was 8 years old I begged and begged and begged my mom for an iPod Touch 4 for Christmas and I got it and LOVED it. I still have it today actually even though my neighbor smashed it to where there’s barely any screen without cracks and disabled it for 28,000 minutes i still have it (it’s not disabled anymore) and my little cousin who is also 8 years old begged her mom for an iPod Touch 6 for Christmas and she got it and loves it just like I loved mine. Many kids her age,younger and even older can’t have phones and that’s where iPods come into play. They can do their games and music and text from emails and FaceTime and parents are okay with it. I feel like the iPod has life left with the child audience. I know a lot of kids who have iPods and love them. The kids I babysit have them even thought one now has his own iPhone 6, the other kid I babysit has an iPod 6 and uses it pretty much everytime I see him and same with my cousin. The iPod 5 and 6 are really the only usable iPods left but kids love them! And I think the iPod 7 should be Amed towards that age instead of adults who want a music player
This makes me sad. These things are a gem to me, I still have my 2003 iPod and it works like it was still new. (My friends call it the dinosaur as a joke because they think it belongs in a museum).
The fact is those were all horrible designs, it's just that what Apple still do to this day is hype up their sheep to make them think that this is the way forward, the ipod was too big, it was over complex for what it needed to do, i think Philips got it right with their MP3 players, small lightweight, durable, good battery life, good audio quality, simple menu and a few buttons to operate it, i still use mine for almost 10 years now, use it every day, I've dropped it literally in water pits, dragged it after my bike, stepped on it, it's been in the washing machine lot's of times, but it still keeps playing and charging correctly.
I use my ipod shuffle everyday while driving. My car is older, and base model, so there are no volume/music controls on the steering wheel, and my ipod makes it easy to stay focused on the road; don't have to look at a screen to change songs or playlists, or try to use voice controls.
I have been in the apple eco-system for over a decade (for better or for worse) - and still have 2-ipod classics that are partially retired. I don't subscribe to apple music due to the size and variety of my music collection (yes, I'm one of those guys!) - but have Amazon prime if I do wish to stream. I have an 256GB iphoneX with music loaded - hence the reason why I rarely use my iPod classics. But I do fancy reviving the old device - I miss it and it's pseudo-analoge feel of scrolling up/down to find your music. Through the years, i've 'window shopped' at other devices - (i.e. Fiio, sony, etc) - but could not find the reason to change due to the iPod's 'near perfect' design and ease of use within the eco-system. R.I.P. scroll wheel!!! BTW nice video!!!
The final nail in the coffin ⚰️ of iPods was Apple Music (along with Spotify, Pandora, Amazon Music, Rhapsody, etc). Why own an iPod where you pay to download music that you may listen to for awhile, but stop eventually (with some exceptions for your all-time favorites). When instead, you can pay a small monthly fee for access to tens of thousands of albums worth of music that you can listen to whenever and wherever you want.
I always thought it was just natural progression that once the iPhone came out, iPods would eventually become obsolete. That's even more true now a days when my niece (6 years old) has an iPhone. So why would they need an iPod?
I hope they keep it. I used to have the nano (the one not shown in the video:( and the iPod 4 and iPod 5. They were great and still are. Especially for people who don’t have the money for a iPhone or don’t want it. ( especially 5-7graders) kids these days don’t need an iPhone 8 or x(saw a middle schooler with one). Some moms can’t afford one for there kids so it’s nice to have something $49-$200. It seems like there devices are just getting super expensive with not a lot of cheaper options.
I fucking hate this so much.My iPod's were my favorite gadgets ever. My love for it began when my parents got me a Nano 4th Generation and my tiny mind was blown apart by its awesomeness and I used it everywhere I went . I got a Nano 6,which I unfortunately lost and then finally the Nano 7 which I also used a lot ,which I still have to this day. RIP iPod and I really hoped they would make more, though I know it doesn't make much sense as per a business perspective.
I had an ipod touch (4) because my mother didn't want to give me a full iphone for the extra few dollars. It was just like an iphone, except no sim card or 3g... those are quite useful, why would anyone not want to havem them?
But the ipod touches where cheaper and had all the internet features of a iphone.This kills most of apples younger demographic since parents dont want to get there children a overpriced phone only to never use the phone features.
The iPod Touch will probably live on because there are people (like me) who are stuck on contract with android phones and cannot get a new iPhone until the contract ends
I still see the beauty of owning an iPod Touch and and the iPod Nano in 2019 and beyond, personally im talking about the Gen 6 iPod Touch, and the Gen 6 and 7 iPod Nanos, the Touch is basically the iPhone without a SIM card, which is a great introduction for anyone coming from a competetor, so you do not have to pay up for the SIM card contract, and now you have access to the entire apple platform, truthfully there are alot of amazing apps on the app store, but many of them have an android version anyways. What im talking about specifically is the apps like iMovie, apps that were made by apple to be able to produce and edit other media, those apps have a distinict feel about them on an apple product, also most of them are either free or really cheap in comparsion to an application on PC or android, they might be lacking a few features but they will all do what you need to do. (and yes i know there are numerous free and cheap versions on the android store, however almost all of them have ads, or they lack features and simplistically that these apple apps have. The other reason for the touch is just a "second phone" if you want to play mobile games or listen to music, watch movies and all the works, it does all of that. And now you do not waste your storage or your battery from your actual phone. Of course you can always get an iPad for that... but it's not as portable. The Nano thou holds itself in a different spot. Personally i own a Nano 6 gen, and i would keep it 6th gen instead of 7th for the most part. The Nano just is a very sleak music player with bluetooth capablities, and it does the job very well, it just needs more to it. The 6th gen thou is a square with a screen, and because of that, there have been accessories that make it the first apple watch, without the need of needing a phone by apple to activate it, which really I find the charm in that. (Also iPods have audio jacks, so they are already superior in my mind, seriously why should you need to lug an extra accessory to connect your earbuds, in fact it is just another point of failure for something break, forcing you to buy more from apple.)
I have my iPod still I bought it in 2002. I have over 6000 songs I’ll never ever get rid of my iPod no matter what, is the best invention I ever invested in lol
Starting with the Nokia 6230 back in 2004, my phone has always been my mp3 player... Never had a dedicated one, and I could never get used to the idea, that I need anything else but a file manager to fill it.
I remember when Mini-Discs were the latest "revolution" in portable players. I had a portable one, a "proper" one at home as part of my Stereo System and even an in car player thinking that it could *never* get any better than this 😉 I've also had a nano and an iPod Classic 120GB, which I still use, although it loses its charge after about 30 minutes. Now, with all this available on a phone, it's no wonder that individual mp3 players are mostly redundant.
Are you saying that the iPhone is not as advance as the galaxy or the pixel. You are so wrong dude. The iPhone 12 is way more advanced than the galaxy and the pixel. It’s way far away ahead of those the processor A14 Bionic. Even the iPhone 11 promax or even the iPhone XS max even the iPhone X. iPhone can last more than 10 years galaxy can only last like for two years. They always get burnt out or slow.
Still using my iPod nano 6G as my daily driver, mostly for podcasts. Why is an extra device better? Better battery life, much smaller as a phone, independent from network connection and I get no disturbing phone calls or messages sounds. ( Of course, I can switch the phone to flight modus. However, what is it then? A bigger iPod. ;) )
Still have my original gen 1 5gb iPod. Still works and syncs with iTunes 12.0 (not sure as about newer versions). Using the FireWire port with adapter on a 2008 MacBook Pro 15".
they were far from the first company to come out with a touch screen mp3 player, I had a i believe a philips mp3 (not actually sure it was a philips its been so long ago) but it was pretty good, had a really good equalizer, the damn thing died on me though, a few months later the apple touch came out.
I understand that the iPod has a very small place left in the market. It makes sense to kill off the iPod, yet it just doesn't feel right. I wouldn't be mad at Apple for finally killing the iPod Touch, but it'd still be weird if they did. It's a very strange thing to describe but I think most people feel the same way. The iPod has next to no reason to exist, yet we don't want it to go.

The iPod still has a purpose. There are many of us still living today that don't want to carry music around on our phones, especially when we're at the gym, or outside doing exercise, or walking around, or anything of that sort, especially since cell phones are getting more and more fragile and cost way too much to fix.

And if i did something wrong i had to stay on my room without my game boy [i had an mp3 not ipod]

I couldn't afford an iPod so I ended up getting an unbranded MP4 Player when I was younger lol
There are MP4 players for $10 on Amazon now. If you just want an MP3 player, the price can go as low as $0.59. (+$2.50 shipping, lol.)
unbranded MP4 players were still better than a Zune...

I know that the wireless future is coming but it isn’t a standard yet. It’s just stupid. They should have kept it until at least the iPhone X if they wanted to remove it so badly.

It was also released “alongside” the iPhone 8 so it would have given people that didn’t care about these changes a direct opportunity to still get a good phone that still had the jack but lacked a few features. Or they could have already removed it on the 8 which would give people more differences between the iPhone 7 and 8.
They tried to introduce the revolutionary wireless future with something as umnrevolutionary as the iPhone 7.
Luckily there's still the iPod Touch with a proper headphone jack.
“Cheapest apple product ever made, the ipod shuffle”
What about the little dongle that comes with the iphone 7 and 8?
I'm guessing that he isn't counting adapters, as Y'know, you can't really do anything with an adapter unless you buy another device.
That and those adapters are abhorrently expensive for what they are.
£9.99 for a dongle... expensive considering that it’s essentially just a small wire
There are other items, like the Apple Remote, which was about $25. The qualifier was obviously 'standalone device'.
@@miakempster2828 It's not just a small wire. It contains a DAC to convert the audio signal from digital to analog. In fact, you can buy more expensive adapters, which make the sound quality better.
I remember always wanting a Ipod but because we were so poor the best I was able to get was the Shuffle and now as you stated in the video the Ipod is a relic of the past but I would still like to track one down eventually.
I have a ton of old CDs/mp3s by independent bands, bootlegs, live albums, demos etc that just aren't available on Spotify or Apple Music. My iPod and iTunes library is essential!
ipod classic with a huge amount of storage = apple music
Would you rather load your phone up with music and run out of storage or have a device dedicated to music? I'd choose the latter, personally.
I miss my 4th gen iPod nano. It was lime green, had I think 8gb of storage. It was a great device. Then I bought an iPhone. I am with some others, looking back I might still buy one today. It lasted for hours on end. Much longer then my iPhone, and it sounded very, very good and it had to since it was the main purpose. It was a very nice device.
iPod more like tidePod am I right?
I’ll leave now.
Harris P. Here's a key. ( }===
XDDDDDDDDD
Harris P. Leave
harris priest do u regret it
2028 tho ami right?
Rod Studios right my friend
Rod Studios
Very sad kill iPod why you
apple killed it off once steve died.
I love your videos by the way you have cool videos I love the video of you doing the 2000 video can you do another video of living in the 90s I grew up in the 90s good job in all your videos
😢
I still use my iPod Nano, but most of the time when I have access to Internet I just use Spotify on my phone instead, because I get bored of listening to the same songs that I own on my iPod. My last iPod accidentally went in the washing machine. :(
Damn I wish Jobs was still around.
"What were they thinking?!"
This phrase now comes to my mind whenever they screw up the UI and the other stuff of iPhone. In the Nerd's voice! Love the reference to the AVGN... or am I reading too much?
Anyway. Loved the video. Cheetos!
I have been using a nano everyday for many years. I like the UI of the latest version. It’s a slimmed down version of iOS that is really simple to use. Yes I have music on my phone too, but I like having a dedicated player for downloaded BBC comedies and plays. It’s much easier to use the nano when travelling to work on public transport and it doesn’t run down the battery on my phone.
My dad still uses his ipod classic
this was a video i didnt expected...
Adolfo Jasso get your grammar right
I got a Nano 3G about a year ago, after owning several Androids and non-iPods, and it's probably the best music player I've ever owned. The sound quality is better than the iPhone 4 I compared it to, and as a Linux user, it's the easiest to manage music player I've ever owned. With Androids I had to tweak things, iPhone is just flat out incompatible, but the Nano 3G just works. At some point the battery may become useless or I may not be able to write to the flash memory anymore, but the software is static (will never be updated or replaced), so it will always work the same way, without slowing down or freezing up, and since the music is digital there is no degradation in quality over time. Which means until the battery dies and it's unfeasible to replace it, I'll be using my iPod for music for a very long time. And even when the day does come that I can't write to it anymore and the battery is useless, I can still plug it in and pull the music from it, and then it's a digital time capsule/archive.
Then: Oh how I wanted an iPod
Now: Oh how I want an IPhone X
Im probably the only one here that has a zune
Yes. Yes, you are.
Bibasik7 My New TV has a Zune logo printed in it
Nah bruh! Still sporting my customized zunes (yes, zunes, I have 3).
No, we are two now. 😊
Crowned Bear
I have one but it sucks the marketplace is gone to get new music... I just burn cds to the program and then my zune
I hate how nowadays iPods are just iPhones without the Calling function.
There's still room for an MP3 player though. It's just that with the most popular one being tied to Itunes which people didn't want to use with the rise of youtube and spotify. If there was an Ipod with ful support of spotify, youtube and amazon music then it would be moderately successful for those people that want a higher quality listening experience and more space reserved for music
Mishpãré Urśhjìlk it'll need 4g connection the it'll be a smartphone afterall. See the problem?
I would pay 500 bucks to get an iPod classic thats was 1tb
iPod Classic used a 1.8 inch hard drive. Toshiba used to make them, but they discontinued them, which was the reason that Apple killed off the iPod Classic. I don't think a hard drive that small can be made in a 1TB capacity. The only option would be to go with an SSD, in which case the iPod Classic 1TB would cost at least $799.
If you like to mod things, there is an adapter to replace the ipod hdd with miroSD/SD card here:

David Krisnawan really thanks!
Bibasik7 it may sound dumb but I would pay it
Get the Fiio X4 player then 😂
but in saying that vinyl and cassette sales have skyrocketed recently.
yeah but the iPod touch is great for kids though. it does everything a phone can do except hold a sim card which in my opinion is still great when you don't want to buy an iPad for the kids. apple please don't kill off the iPod touch
The ipod nano 6th gen is so small and practical, the i phone or any other phone is no where near that size.
doing Parkour with a phone in your pocket is a pain in the ass. i was hoping for the following gens to be the same size considering that its called i pod nano.
Now i have to look for a replacement, i really hope small mp3s don`t die out until innovative technology can actually replace them.
Should've bought the iPod Shuffle 4th generation. It is smaller than the iPod Nano 6th generation, and it has physical music controls for volume, pause, next song, previous song, and switching between shuffle mode and playing in order mode. It doesn't have a screen, and it only has 2GB of storage, but aside from that, it's a very good MP3 player.
I know about the shuffle i`m sure its a good player but for me its essential having a screen. I need to be able to select exactly what i want, i use my nano for a lot of situations i have specific playlists, 2 GB is not enough for me and i can pretty much to the same with the nano, it has physical control for volume and next title, i also use the Fitness function when i go for a run.
As an owner of an iPod touch 5 and a current user of a LG Aristo (BEST BUDGET PHONE, BTW!), an iPod touch is handy for those who have android phone or device! It would be REALLY 🆒 if someone were to make an iOS 11 emulation for PC!😊
JayRocks1203 Another good budget phone is the Moto
I also have an iPod Touch 5th generation. I have the 16GB black/silver model with no rear facing camera. It can still run Minecraft, the same version that runs on Xbox One, which is a true testament to how good it really was.

I used to own the ipod classic, but I eventually stopped using it once I got the iTouch. But we still kept the ipod around, mostly hooked on the car radio as some kind of a playlist for long car rides. But we eventually gave it up once we got some warnings that the ipod could catch fire or at worse scenarios, explode (that was mostly a rumour, but the claims that it could catch fire were true). The only complaint I had with the ipod is that there was no power button. The only way you could turn off the ipod was by holding down the middle and menu button until the screen turned off. Sometimes the ipod would glitch out and cause those buttons to stop responding which means that you have to reset the ipod to get those buttons working again, which you could only do through a computer.
My favorite iPod was the iPod video in Black and the nano of the same glossy/glass-ish plastic finish! Talk about beauty. Apple isn't known for this but it would be amazing if they did a retro release of certain iPods with present-day tech
Soon the iphone wont have buttons, mute switch, or a notch, the screen will voabrate as a speaker, the camera will be under the screen, you will use controll center for volume, you will use raise to wake, there will be no speaker or charging port, it will use wireless charging and it wall viabrate as a speaker
I had the fifth generation of iPod (still have it somewhere) and I loved it. It was expensive but it was miles ahead of competitors when it came to storage capacity
The only product Apple ever made that I wanted was an iPod classic 5th-7th generations. Please Apple bring back the iPod classic and make it a HiFi player for us audiophiles.
I still use my iPod Nano all the time for music, it’s nice to get to listen to music without getting interrupted by a phone call or notification :)
Sonic 1 was on the iPod Classic. Its still better than Sonic Genesis on the GBA.
I liked sonic genesis on gba
iPod touch was a great gift for kids. But now, only a phone.
But I saw some people using Android phone and owe an iPad (or an iPod)for gaming.
Very well done video! I agree that the iPod was is a cool idea and I don't even know what the hell Tim Cook is thinking. He only wants money now. No innovation.
Spicypicklez
They had to compete with themselves
If you don’t kill your success, then somebody else will
Spicypicklez ........what? So because Apple didn’t want to keep around a dedicated music player, that’s a bad thing? How many dedicated music players do you see being released and bought? It’s because they are more limited in their music playing capability than our phones. The rise of streaming services, higher capacity phones, cloud based streaming of purchased songs, data plans, data plans that don’t charge you data for streaming music, etc, all contributed to the iPods death. And did you not see the sales chart that Rod Studios put into the video. You can clearly see the massively downward track the iPod was on for years. Why would Apple continue investing into a product that fewer than 500k people might buy and that Apple believes is an obsolete way to listen to music?
Yeah okay if Apple didn't have phones Samsung, LG, Huawei, Google and Etc wouldn't have put them out of business a long time ago.
My right ear enjoyed this video very much.
The thing about killing the iPod is what about children?
When I was 8 years old I begged and begged and begged my mom for an iPod Touch 4 for Christmas and I got it and LOVED it. I still have it today actually even though my neighbor smashed it to where there’s barely any screen without cracks and disabled it for 28,000 minutes i still have it (it’s not disabled anymore) and my little cousin who is also 8 years old begged her mom for an iPod Touch 6 for Christmas and she got it and loves it just like I loved mine. Many kids her age,younger and even older can’t have phones and that’s where iPods come into play. They can do their games and music and text from emails and FaceTime and parents are okay with it. I feel like the iPod has life left with the child audience. I know a lot of kids who have iPods and love them. The kids I babysit have them even thought one now has his own iPhone 6, the other kid I babysit has an iPod 6 and uses it pretty much everytime I see him and same with my cousin. The iPod 5 and 6 are really the only usable iPods left but kids love them! And I think the iPod 7 should be Amed towards that age instead of adults who want a music player
This makes me sad. These things are a gem to me, I still have my 2003 iPod and it works like it was still new. (My friends call it the dinosaur as a joke because they think it belongs in a museum).
The fact is those were all horrible designs, it's just that what Apple still do to this day is hype up their sheep to make them think that this is the way forward, the ipod was too big, it was over complex for what it needed to do, i think Philips got it right with their MP3 players, small lightweight, durable, good battery life, good audio quality, simple menu and a few buttons to operate it, i still use mine for almost 10 years now, use it every day, I've dropped it literally in water pits, dragged it after my bike, stepped on it, it's been in the washing machine lot's of times, but it still keeps playing and charging correctly.
that background music adds the intensity to Apple's stock prices rising.
I use my ipod shuffle everyday while driving. My car is older, and base model, so there are no volume/music controls on the steering wheel, and my ipod makes it easy to stay focused on the road; don't have to look at a screen to change songs or playlists, or try to use voice controls.
I have been in the apple eco-system for over a decade (for better or for worse) - and still have 2-ipod classics that are partially retired. I don't subscribe to apple music due to the size and variety of my music collection (yes, I'm one of those guys!) - but have Amazon prime if I do wish to stream. I have an 256GB iphoneX with music loaded - hence the reason why I rarely use my iPod classics. But I do fancy reviving the old device - I miss it and it's pseudo-analoge feel of scrolling up/down to find your music. Through the years, i've 'window shopped' at other devices - (i.e. Fiio, sony, etc) - but could not find the reason to change due to the iPod's 'near perfect' design and ease of use within the eco-system. R.I.P. scroll wheel!!! BTW nice video!!!
The Fiio sounds much better than the iPod, its DAC is far superior.
Great great video dude, its unfortunate that the iPod may be nothing but memories one day.
I used to have an iPod mini, I loved it so much, but I have no idea what happened but it broke down, it only displayed a sad face on a file
Sounds like the hard drive broke. :(
Dude your audio levels in this video are throwing me off so hard
Welp, rest in pieces TidePod.
The final nail in the coffin ⚰️ of iPods was Apple Music (along with Spotify, Pandora, Amazon Music, Rhapsody, etc). Why own an iPod where you pay to download music that you may listen to for awhile, but stop eventually (with some exceptions for your all-time favorites). When instead, you can pay a small monthly fee for access to tens of thousands of albums worth of music that you can listen to whenever and wherever you want.
What if I’m working out and don’t want to have to carry a phone around?
Then Android came along and was like: "Hold my beer."
You know apple cashed out though right?
If you wear stereo headphones you can notice most of his voice is on the right side
Spotify happened. “Mic drop”
I always thought it was just natural progression that once the iPhone came out, iPods would eventually become obsolete. That's even more true now a days when my niece (6 years old) has an iPhone. So why would they need an iPod?
I hope they keep it. I used to have the nano (the one not shown in the video:( and the iPod 4 and iPod 5. They were great and still are.
Especially for people who don’t have the money for a iPhone or don’t want it. ( especially 5-7graders) kids these days don’t need an iPhone 8 or x(saw a middle schooler with one). Some moms can’t afford one for there kids so it’s nice to have something $49-$200. It seems like there devices are just getting super expensive with not a lot of cheaper options.
Watching this on my iPod touch
but.. why?
Terry Carr lol
Terry Carr bet it’s so lagging reading this
Still got my 80 gig iPod classic. Best Apple product ever! I'll repair it until it cant be repaired any longer!
I fucking hate this so much.My iPod's were my favorite gadgets ever. My love for it began when my parents got me a Nano 4th Generation and my tiny mind was blown apart by its awesomeness and I used it everywhere I went . I got a Nano 6,which I unfortunately lost and then finally the Nano 7 which I also used a lot ,which I still have to this day. RIP iPod and I really hoped they would make more, though I know it doesn't make much sense as per a business perspective.
This was honestly a masterpiece
I had an ipod touch (4) because my mother didn't want to give me a full iphone for the extra few dollars. It was just like an iphone, except no sim card or 3g... those are quite useful, why would anyone not want to havem them?
The iPod lives on through the iPhone
Now we have the smartphone, an entire PC in your pocket
But the ipod touches where cheaper and had all the internet features of a iphone.This kills most of apples younger demographic since parents dont want to get there children a overpriced phone only to never use the phone features.
Do you guys remember playing those paratrooper and ball maze games on your dad's OG ipod as a kid.
The iPod Touch will probably live on because there are people (like me) who are stuck on contract with android phones and cannot get a new iPhone until the contract ends
I still see the beauty of owning an iPod Touch and and the iPod Nano in 2019 and beyond, personally im talking about the Gen 6 iPod Touch, and the Gen 6 and 7 iPod Nanos, the Touch is basically the iPhone without a SIM card, which is a great introduction for anyone coming from a competetor, so you do not have to pay up for the SIM card contract, and now you have access to the entire apple platform, truthfully there are alot of amazing apps on the app store, but many of them have an android version anyways. What im talking about specifically is the apps like iMovie, apps that were made by apple to be able to produce and edit other media, those apps have a distinict feel about them on an apple product, also most of them are either free or really cheap in comparsion to an application on PC or android, they might be lacking a few features but they will all do what you need to do. (and yes i know there are numerous free and cheap versions on the android store, however almost all of them have ads, or they lack features and simplistically that these apple apps have. The other reason for the touch is just a "second phone" if you want to play mobile games or listen to music, watch movies and all the works, it does all of that. And now you do not waste your storage or your battery from your actual phone. Of course you can always get an iPad for that... but it's not as portable.
The Nano thou holds itself in a different spot. Personally i own a Nano 6 gen, and i would keep it 6th gen instead of 7th for the most part. The Nano just is a very sleak music player with bluetooth capablities, and it does the job very well, it just needs more to it. The 6th gen thou is a square with a screen, and because of that, there have been accessories that make it the first apple watch, without the need of needing a phone by apple to activate it, which really I find the charm in that.
(Also iPods have audio jacks, so they are already superior in my mind, seriously why should you need to lug an extra accessory to connect your earbuds, in fact it is just another point of failure for something break, forcing you to buy more from apple.)
I still use my iPod touch because it’s more convenient to keep my phones and songs separate. Plus data use, battery life etc
I have my iPod still I bought it in 2002. I have over 6000 songs I’ll never ever get rid of my iPod no matter what, is the best invention I ever invested in lol
Watching this on my iPod touch with my iPod classic next to me. The iPod will never die for me 💗
The irony that I’m watching this on an iPod.
Starting with the Nokia 6230 back in 2004, my phone has always been my mp3 player... Never had a dedicated one, and I could never get used to the idea, that I need anything else but a file manager to fill it.
I never understood why the nanos came with that little plastic dock thing. Is it meant to clip on the edge of a desk? Or drilled and screwed into it?
I remember when Mini-Discs were the latest "revolution" in portable players. I had a portable one, a "proper" one at home as part of my Stereo System and even an in car player thinking that it could *never* get any better than this 😉
I've also had a nano and an iPod Classic 120GB, which I still use, although it loses its charge after about 30 minutes.
Now, with all this available on a phone, it's no wonder that individual mp3 players are mostly redundant.
Wild Heart
yeah i hear thats a common issue with the Classics is the short battery life
My iPod touch 4 was the best thing back in middle school, I discovered so many things cause of it and thankfully mine still works
My right ear is really enjoying this
Are you saying that the iPhone is not as advance as the galaxy or the pixel. You are so wrong dude. The iPhone 12 is way more advanced than the galaxy and the pixel. It’s way far away ahead of those the processor A14 Bionic. Even the iPhone 11 promax or even the iPhone XS max even the iPhone X. iPhone can last more than 10 years galaxy can only last like for two years. They always get burnt out or slow.
Still using my iPod nano 6G as my daily driver, mostly for podcasts. Why is an extra device better? Better battery life, much smaller as a phone, independent from network connection and I get no disturbing phone calls or messages sounds. ( Of course, I can switch the phone to flight modus. However, what is it then? A bigger iPod. ;) )

Crazy thought: the iPhone was and is the premium iPod. Only it can also make calls.
Still have my original gen 1 5gb iPod. Still works and syncs with iTunes 12.0 (not sure as about newer versions). Using the FireWire port with adapter on a 2008 MacBook Pro 15".
I use a IPod Touch 6. I also have a old iPod that I use. It’s a iPod mini. I don’t want the iPods to leave ;-; I love iPods. They’re awesome.
My "ancient" Ipod would sometimes connect to this random Japanese station and it was rad. There was also Limewire, good times.
Thank you my right ear really enjoyed this video :-)
You deserve more subscribers :)
I was waiting for this
they were far from the first company to come out with a touch screen mp3 player, I had a i believe a philips mp3 (not actually sure it was a philips its been so long ago) but it was pretty good, had a really good equalizer, the damn thing died on me though, a few months later the apple touch came out.
I understand that the iPod has a very small place left in the market. It makes sense to kill off the iPod, yet it just doesn't feel right. I wouldn't be mad at Apple for finally killing the iPod Touch, but it'd still be weird if they did. It's a very strange thing to describe but I think most people feel the same way. The iPod has next to no reason to exist, yet we don't want it to go.
I still rock an iPod Nano 2nd Gen to this day.
