$400 for 256 GB of storage for a media player :dwillhuh: you can buy 42" samsung 4k tv for that fukking price or some shyt :what:

hd space is cheap.. that shyt should be $150 1 model (256 GB) and it would sell out quick.. apple wins because it adds a new SKU to their shelf that sells out constantly, gives them more foot traffic in their store to up sell other products/accessories... the public wins because it adds convenience as a lot of people dont want to jog or hike or exercise with their phone due to risk of breaking it / let their toddlers play games with it over wifi , etc

$400 is criminal and you'd have to be legit borderline retarded to pay $400 for 256 gb of storage of music when
1) streaming is $10 a month and basically unlimited space :what:
2) you can buy many more items at that price point with way more value (laptop, tv, a whole fukking computer, etc.)

After taxes and if you buy a $30 silicone case for it so your little kid doesnt break a still some how expensive item, you are looking at $500 :laff:

and it still doesnt solve the issue of size, where currently most phones/media players are too big to exercise/ run with... thats a big reason the original ipods / ipod nanos blew up


Apple gone flop with this one I hope

Ill keep it even more buck with yall.

I still have two regular iPod 64G fully loaded with whole discographies including mixtapes of just about anyone of note docked in the bathrooms in my home.

Something you cant do with streaming or paid platforms.

There is still value in that. Apple clearly knows that there is a group that fukks with the Touch.

Can upload any of my music that's not on Googles streaming music for free

I have an iPhone and don’t care to get this, but why does this upset you? If someone finds a use in an iPod, what does it matter to you?

  • Works in Retail
  • Good amount of people ask for the latest Apple product without self aware that the product is going to be sold out for a while (Airpods)
  • Frustration with the constant changes with the accessories for the products
It's more so gripes about people buying Apple products without understanding that there's better and cheaper alternatives on the market. That's just me tho:yeshrug:

The new iPod touch features Group FaceTime and AR experiences, a first for iPod.
Cupertino, California — Apple today introduced the new iPod touch with enhancements to power, capability and communication at a remarkable price. The Apple-designed A10 Fusion chip brings improved performance in games, and for the first time on iPod, immersive augmented reality (AR) experiences and Group FaceTime, making it easy to chat with family members, friends or colleagues simultaneously. The new iPod touch is available to order on apple.com and in the Apple Store app starting today and in stores later this week.
“We’re making the most affordable iOS device even better with performance that is twice as fast as before, Group FaceTime and augmented reality starting at just $199,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s vice president of Product Marketing. “The ultra-thin and lightweight design of iPod touch has always made it ideal for enjoying games, music and so much more wherever you go.”

The new iPod touch brings fun and productive AR experiences across gaming, education and web browsing.
iPod touch comes in a new 256GB capacity, giving plenty of space to download music for offline listening through Apple Music or the iTunes Store. With Apple Music, subscribers can access a catalog of over 50 million songs, thousands of playlists, Beats 1 Radio and daily editorial selections from the world’s best music experts. Subscribers can create their own playlists, watch music videos, listen to exclusive Beats 1 shows from their favorite artists on demand and share music with their friends. Now available in over 100 countries, Apple Music offers the most comprehensive music experience ever.

A new 256GB capacity provides plenty of space to download music for offline listening through Apple Music or the iTunes Store.
iOS is the world’s largest gaming platform, and with three times faster graphics, games on the new iPod touch run even smoother and look even more beautiful. This fall gamers can look forward to Apple Arcade, a game subscription service with over 100 new and exclusive games with no ads or additional purchases, and the ability to download games for offline play. Apple Arcade is the perfect complement to the already enormously popular catalog of free games on the App Store.

I encourage it :yeshrug: what you can give your preteen kids before cellphones (like 9-13)
They doing all this stuff on a tablet, not seeing how a kid wants to trade in a 8-15” screen for a weak ass iPod Touch. Seems frivolous, especially when you get more utility from from a tablet across all ages, especially kids where a tablet can be used for learning and is damn near mandatory for learning/coursework in higher end schools, and of course anyone cellphone age and up will simply have a phone

Edit:read the thread and saw the pricing, $400 for 256GB, no ma’am :skip:
