iPhone 14 and the return of iPod

An hypothetical new Ipod should have: A better DAC with support for Hi Res audio formats, and not just ALAC (apple codec), should support FLAC, WAV, DSD, etc. 3.5 mm jack plug, yeah the "old thing", why? Because most of headphones with maximun quality sound have the 3.5 jack plug, ¿what about the airpods? Sorry but that crap is nothing compared to a real good headphone cable. The new ipod should be like an audiophiles DAPs in the market, oriented to have a better sound quality than the most of smartphones. DAPs like Fiio or Sony are a good example of a modern music player.

The one feature that we lost when the iPod Nano died in 2017 was the built in FM radio. It was a great tuner, and I loved to listen to the radio when I was out walking the dogs. Also, unlike a radio streaming service, I didn't have to have a data plan to listen to the radio. Other smartphones have enabled FM radio on their devices. Why not Apple?

[@CrueLoaf]

FM Radio. That’s sadly another dinosaur. You can buy pocket radios but these days people stream or use DAB. No way will Apple incorporate such an old format.

I will never forget the feeling I had when I bought my first iPod (iPod Mini 1st Gen Blue color) in 2004 for my 14th birthday. I was seriously the first person in my grade at school to have one and I swear after a few months ALL of my friends either got one or wanted one. But the feeling of buying a song on iTunes and being able to instantly put it on my iPod was something I’d never experienced before in my life. I no longer had to carry around a case of CD’s and a Walkman, it was all right there. That was probably the most amazing consumer experience I’ve ever had. Waking up the next day and getting to bring my iPod to school was the most exciting feeling. I wish I could experience that kind of feeling again with a product.

[@tedwardrick]

It was definitely a stepping stone to conceptualize the iPhone. I believe iPod Classic was kept around because it can power higher end earphones without an adaptor, so audiophiles would still buy it. I noticed a lot of retail stores uses the iPod Touch, I was shopping in Uniqlo and saw their staff uses iPod Touch and thought to myself so there’s still a demand just not really for consumers… perhaps if iPod Touch gets discontinued, retail stores will have to buy iPhone SE instead.

Wow you totally brought me back to why I fell in love with Apple in the first place back in 2001 when I bought my first PowerMac G4. (JMO) Apple is poised to bring a better version of the “metaverse”. They have been building the foundations of it since Steve came back to Apple in ‘97. As you said the introduction of iTunes created a path towards an ecosystem that a lot of loyal users would rather not use technology than to leave their beloved iCloud. With everything that Apple has invented or put into place has built on that foundation to push the future forward. If that future is a “metaverse” Apple has and will create better versions of it. Not only does Apple have the data from iTunes to the iPhone Apple doesn’t need the iPod because it was the precursor to the future. The devices that are no longer with us are only the breadcrumbs liking Apples past to what they will do in the future.

I know some peoppe are holding hope that Apple will try to revive the iPod, but let's be honest, is there even a market for it? Let's try to think of the ideal iPod. Music player, video player, streaming service integration, multiple file type support, a headphone jack, speakers. The cheapest Android phone can probably do all of that, and have a phone and a full internet browser. Why would one buy an iPod when they already have a phone that can do all of that? Unfortunately, an iPod revival would mostly be for the nostalgia gimmick.

We used a headphone splitter (a terrible one with super low impedance so AWFUL quality lol but worked…kinda) and listened to tons of music and tons of videos downloaded. This was right when music started winding down on being good too ironically. We were in college at the time just over half way done, so perfect timing to use our 200gb+ we had all accumulated by combining all our music (me and my friends from high school and our gf’s).

[@ArthurZakaryan23]

The mid 90s to mid to late 2000s, about a 10-15 year period, we saw more innovation and diversity of tech than any period before or since. As tech has mostly become a commodity, a daily tool we don't give much thought to today, that period had more excitement and more choice for those who wanted to continue doing things the old fashion way and those who were excited to try what the future had to offer. As a tech enthusiast growing up in that era, it's truly sad that innovation and choice especially is mostly a thing of the past and even more sad it is increasingly rare to get excited for where tech is headed.

I actually have a Garmin 245 Music, so I can go running without my phone, and it stores music that I stream via Bluetooth to my Bluetooth running headphones. Like my old 1st gen shuffle, I have a bunch of music mixes at various BPMs that I listen to while running (on the shuffle I had mainly individual songs, now I use 1-2 hour mixes). I have looked into modern mp3 players, because I don't like using my phone for that, and Sony has some pretty nice ones, but........I have an Amazon Music subscription and I can literally call up and stream almost any song in existence at any time on that, and my subscription custom generates playlists based on my tastes (and does a lot better job than spotify, etc used to).

iPod Mini… Got one for Xmas when I was 10 and I’ve never not had an Apple device since, 18 years later!

Didn’t age well, didn’t age well, didn’t age well. Geez, that’s all you guys got? 😂

[@SOCyak]

I’ll purchase an ipod if it really comes back

As soon as music streaming services became a thing and you could use your phones for unlimited amounts of music, iPods became completely unnecessary.

It's not unnecessary at all I use my ipod still I don't like streaming services

@@theo5675 to each their own. I would hate having to carry two devices all the time.

@@theo5675 Yep, I have about 600 CD's at home ripped to iTunes and on my iPods. I have enough monthly bills that I don't want to pay to stream my music when I already own it.

@@theo5675 Same, I really tried but after 2 years I was sick of having to deal with phone stuff when listening to music, got out my old iPod nano and havent looked back, I now have a third Nano and 2 vintage classic iPods I use regularly and plan on installing a SSD when the original drives fail eventually.
