My dad desperately wanted an iPod when they came out, but my mom decided to purchase an Archos Jukebox 6000. She was concerned that an iPod wouldn’t work with their big boi Windows chonkster tower. He ended up absolutely loving his Jukebox and dragged that thing around in his grubby pockets at work for 10 years. He never upgraded and he never got that iPod he wanted. I ended up being the one who got it as a hand-me-down when he was finally done with it. It was better than the $20 USB trash nugget that she gave me instead of the Shuffle I asked for for Christmas. I think my mom was afraid of Apple’s entire product line.

As a mom, all she looked at was the price as compared to everyone else.

Everyone already knew Apple was an "ecosystem", a cult, basically. If you didn't want to get sucked into buying everything Apple for it to work, and being locked into only their peripherals... You avoided them.

[@rabbitsrefuse]

I mean, yes, as a mom price was probably the number one factor initially. She wasn’t the most technologically apt person, but she understood basic compatibility issues, so kudos to her for that. Ironically, she only wants iPhones now and is terrified to get stuck using the Android OS. Things came back around for Apple in her world.

[@gaaraati]

@@rockstopsthetraffic let's also mention the fact that all phones and most devices at the time we are talking about at the moment used horrible proprietary ports. I don't really understand the cult sentiment though, I really just think people are still acting like apes and love to feel like they are a part of a group that they have to support no matter what, even if that only means you only think you have an identity. It's just fanboyism at its worst, to be fair, at the time of the first iPod it was hard not to simp for a device that did the job correctly without you having to install the most horrible drivers FROM SOFTWARE CDs (in my country internet was not as common as it was in the US) that most of the time were a crapshoot whether they worked. People have to drop this fanboyish attitude towards companies whether it's Apple, Samsung, Sony, MS, etc. ---- On the other hand I must confess I also bought a MBA lately due to how well the M1 performs in terms of battery and letting me say no when I say it no (kinda like Linux in a way.) I used (Arch and Zorin) Linux, all Windows versions, and some MacOS versions for work (when I got a Mac to work on/ with). Mac is by far the best for productivity for me, Linux is best in many of the IT departments, and Windows, for me is only good for gaming and very specific business-oriented apps.

As weirdly audio-centric as Apple has become in the past few years, I do believe the iPod is basically dead. But only the hardware. We will see that name come back for something else. I don’t know what it will be, maybe something to do with AR or the Apple Car, but the iPod brand is strong. I’d love to see a dedicated hifi music player that plays super high quality lossless files and has killer DAC built in, but it would probably not have a click wheel and would basically just run some sort of dedicated stripped down iOS. And at that point it’s not really an iPod.

[@ijiopu]

The product you are looking forward dank have already review it .. and yes.. it's like that No wheel Android as os Good dac

[@pietrocavicchioli6128]

yeah, the clickwheel is necessary, and the super basic iPod OS is a must too, low power consumption thanks to the OS being very very light and the fact that it's extremely basic, so not destroying the flash memory overtime really secured to the iPods ad exceptional lifespan

[@PiercingSight]

Apple's audio-centricity in recent times has been really weird. They're focused more on the average person's audio experience, making high quality headphones and computer speakers with U/V shaped sound profiles, even doing crazy things like "Spatial Audio" using Dolby Atmos. They're going for the "wow" factor of luxury listening, but NONE of it is for audiophiles! Heck, the closest thing they've done to audiophile stuff is adding a high impedance headphone jack to the new Macbook Pro, and we don't even know if they've improved the DAC beyond just giving it more power. Apple's weird.

Congrats for 1 million subs dankpods

[@layeredchip3220]

I still have my hand me down original iPod mini, and man that thing is (knocks on wood) the most reliable electronic device I have ever owned. My sister bought it when it first came out, she used the crap out of it for years and years, then loaded it with classic rock and gave it to me when I was 9, the. I have used it fairly regularly for the next twelve years. I have gone through elementary school, middle school, high school, and college, and this thing still works just fine! I still play Brick on it when I’m waiting somewhere without WiFi. These old apple products are truly amazing pieces to tech.

I truly never cared about iPods or music players before Dankpods. He alone made it an interesting subject with his knowledge and humor.

I never knew that the iPod and Pikmin had such close b-days!

[@SundownMarkTwo]

Wait, the iPod is 20 years old? God, I feel like I'm ancient now.

[@superstar64]

Sadly I am part of the smartphone generation, so my first iPod was a 4th gen touch that I still have and care enough for that I replaced the screen on it, but it's thanks to this channel that I started getting into the real iPods from back then, and now I carry one with me every day next to my phone that could easily do the same thing, but I like having a separate device for my music so I can leave my phone to do it's thing and entertain myself with an old plastic and metal brick from the 2000s. That's a legacy right there.

"apple didn't invent that" yep that's the story of Apple

[@DanaTheInsane]

Apple made it something people actually WANTED and liked to use. THAT is the story of Apple. Those early nuggets sucked hard. Crap interfaces, horrible software. I was working in computers during the nugget boom. MP3 players were for geeks. Of which in the 90s were not every other person like now. Apple took things that were limping along, streamlined them, made them fun to use and effective and that is what they do. You could find a tablet in the 90s. You simply didn't want one. They were utter shit. Ever use a Windows CE phone? Utter crap. There is a reason iPhone ate Microsoft's lunch while google raced to catch up. They bought an interface from a copier company that had no idea what they had, redid it head to toe and made it the way people talk to computers. Microsoft raced to catch up. The stock options Xerox got from Apple would be worth more than the whole Xerox corporation today if they had had the brains to keep them. But they didn't even have the brains to hang on to their own intellectual property. Apple always sees where the market is going. They laugh at Apple, They deride it and five years later they are copying them. Samsung laughed at Apple for abandoning the headphone jack. Then they did it. They laughed at Apple for sealed batteries, then they did that too. the first Android phone was a rip off of a Blackberry, then the iPhone launched and they had to chuck it all and start over in months.

[@nocilol3000]

@@DanaTheInsane All your points made sense until you mentioned the sealed batteries and headphone jack removal. Those were bad when apple did it and remain bad now that everyone’s doing it.

[@wintherr3527]

@@DanaTheInsane the best thing you can say about Apple is not their marketing strategies (brilliant, of course), but how they actually care to make things that WORK and LAST. I have an iPod from 2009 and an iPad from 2011 which are still pretty functional to this very day, after years and years of use. You can never, NEVER expect this from cheap mp3 players (whatever the company) or from the many generic tablets out there

[@pandacron]

Reactivated my memories of being a pedant kid with a Sansa Fuze and everyone around me calling it an iPod, and myself getting frustrated because I was a dumb kid and thought it mattered.

[@AlexTenThousand]

The truly bonkiest thing is that without Microsoft's investment, Apple would have gone bust before they could break back into the mainstream with their transparent iMacs and their iPods.

[@soup_.69]

Congratulations on one million mate you deserve it 🙂

[@Fearagen]

Even though the iPod's 20 years old it is still a killer music player. Nothing apart from iPhones maybe can beat it. Also that click wheel is still clutch.
