Macworld San Francisco 2004-The iPod mini Introduction

[@romanbaranovichi5375]

Honestly it's amazing to see them explain their business thinking and them looking at what's actually out there before introducing a product

[@JAK_EDITS.]

They couldn’t fucking FATHOM explain business strategies today. It’s just not done.

[@goldwaterproductions]

That’s what I loved about 2000s era Apple. They never claim to create the first of a new breed be it an MP3 player or a phone, but what they do is say what’s wrong with other variations and they try to learn from the good and the bad and make a product way better than anything on the market. For example: there was no MP3 player on the market even close to the quality of an iPod before they came out.

[@youdontseeanoldmanhavinatw4904]

That's just normal business strategy

[@warrenlehmkuhleii8472]

“And the other 7% we are in the process of eliminating.” I have never been so impressed and scared at the same time.

This was my favorite iPod. Felt perfect in your hand, loved the aluminum, came in great colors. I have a classic and a shuffle now, but this one owned all of the other iPods imo.

[@cabinfeverff]

This is a really old comment but the mini is amazing for flash modding. Possibly my favorite iPod.

[@baphometazrael1892]

[@MechPaul]

If you go back to look at the introduction of the first ipod, it was in a very small theater. If you look at where Steve Jobs is now... well that purports to how strongly the ipod sold.

[@Billyhime]

The first iPod was introduced at apples campus, this was at Macworld so it was at a venue in San Francisco. Most iPods were introduced at apples campus

[@htruth1785]

Back in the day when Apple innovated and any premium was negligible and very much worth it.

[@NigelMontezuma]

In case anyone wants to know what the model of the gadget is that Steve is complaining about, it's a Rio Cali Sport.

[@kurtmagbujos]

flash drives are little electric components that holds files in something like a memory stick duo and hard drives are a stack of magnetic disk that is like a VHS tape except it holds like 10 times more that flash drives but if on an ipod, the hard drives moves (spins) to search up songs in the ipod so its not resistant to skipping parts of the song, compared to flash. But flash has already made it up to 32 GB

[@ML-qj7eb]

How much are worth unopened minis from 2004? They are going to turn 20 years next april.

[@Kaiser187]

Not really. I like to remove and add different music all the time anyways. So 4GB is plenty of enough storage for me. Also these mini's have superior sound quality over 99% of the other Ipod's with the Wolfson DAC. You can put in any size GB flash drive anyways without any modification.

From the data available online, the mini was really successful. It could have been the colors, but I honestly think it just was the right place and time for it to be announced. I Still have mine, although i don't really use it much anymore.

The iPod's interface is so simple because it's a god damn list that says 'Music', 'Video', 'Calendar', etc. I really hate mp3 players that have icons and don't list your songs where you can easily select them.

They used to talk about market shares and why people buy other products and how their new product can replace that. That’s something I really miss

[@5k4k1dhtp]

fuggin' crazy But that makes sense, I thought it was a 2.5", and you can only get about 500gb for $100~ish, but if it's 3.5" that makes sense.

[@m3mario]

Back when Apple crushed the competition with every new release. Large companies used to hold their breath at every Apple event.

[@BoyBoyChannel]

makes me cry watching this

[@A1RTV]

Ahh shucks, now i want a new iPod

[@5k4k1dhtp]

No, no, read it again, it is affirming what I said. You see, there is something called a gigabyte and a gibibyte, a gigabyte is 1,000,000,000 bytes (10^9), a gibibyte is a compound word of "giga" meaning "^9" and "binary" meaning "0's & 1's" & such. So a gibibyte is 2^30, which is 1,073,741,824 bytes. So the reason you don't get all of the disk space is because it's advertised as "8 gigabytes", but computers calculate in gibibytes, so it is less... Make sense?

[@5k4k1dhtp]

I think the big revolution here was the price, but I don't remember the price of the other ipods so I could be wrong.

[@johndoex94]

because a Gigabyte is 1024MB,BUT they don't include those giabytes as 1024,they made them as 1000 MB and also they have to fit in the OS
