Apple officially killed off the iPod today…and I’m glad I was able to get the last model. Still runs the latest iOS, Apps and games. Should you pick one up while you still can?!
Today I’m unboxing a new iPod touch 7th gen (2021). Will this be the LAST iPod that Apple ever makes? And if so… does it make sense to pick one up in 2021?! WATCH >> https://youtu.be/gxTNlNYkECQ
Snazzy Labs – It’s pretty rare that Apple releases a product to market nowadays that doesn’t perform well. Even niche products sell in the tens of millions; however, the HomePod released in 2017 is estimated to have sold around just 5 million units during its product life cycle. The product is discontinued—dead—but still continues to get new updates with iOS 15. Why? Is Apple doing something behind the curtain that we just can’t see? Today, we take a look at Apple’s other failed hi-fi speaker—one that launched over 15 years ago at the exact same $349 price point. Why do they keep screwing these speaker systems up? What might they be planning for the future? Have they given up and settled on HomePod mini? I don’t think so…
Computer Clan – The Macintosh TV is another rare gem from the Apple world which has earned its title as a collector’s item. But why didn’t it succeed when it was originally released? (Hey, it still looks good in black. At least it failed with style.)
engineerguy – Bill describes how metals like aluminum and titanium are made resistant to corrosion by growing an oxide layer into the metals. These is the same process used on many Apple products.
Dan Wood – I take a nostalgic look back at the Apple Power Mac G4. The history of the machine and a look back at the roots of MacOS X, the transition from NeXT and some classic OS9 applications and games!
In this episode we’ll take a look at the unusal history of the Mp3 player. Some people may think it began with the iPod in 2001 but the story begins back in 1979 with Kane Kramer.
