Matthew Walsh Yeah, that's true. But still even for music 2GB won't get you very far. I have an 8GB iPod nano from the late 2000's and I filled that up pretty quick. Besides these days you can get a SanDisk MP3 player for about $30 on Amazon, that has 8GB of built in storage, a screen, better battery life than the shuffle, and it has a micro SD card slot for expandable storage. I can't think of any reason someone would pay $20 more for the iPod shuffle, other than for iTunes support.
JumNyum Geometry Dash same... I'm a student the government wants us poor forever..! "beans and rice"so when we are on £10,000 per year, we will feel appreciative after 5 years being a student!
Right? What jumps out to me most about how outdated iPods feel is the total lack of streaming music (except on tough). The nano doesn't even support offline Apple Music.

Walkman Lives Fuck Jesus. Who In The Fucking World Would Bring Jesus Into A Conversation Of How Much Apple Sucks. Religion Should Not Be Brought Up In This Topic
Josh Edwards for that to work ud need a bluetooth transmitter plugged into the AUX which would defeat the purpose considering the transmittor would be larger than the shuffle itself.
PandaCynima well I assumed wrong then, but at the end of the day it's not really about the price it's more of a way to determine if a child is responsible enough for a phone or not. And wee man don't ever get wide again.
I recently shattered and broke my iPhone like to a point where it will never work. My dad said he will pay for a cheap basic phone so i was considering buying one so i can have iPhone features without having to spend my own money on a $600 iPhone
Phil Thomas pretty sure that's because of the metal bars that are needed on any device that's going to connect to cellular. It's like an antenna that strengthens the bandwidth you receive. Since iPod touches are purely wifi based, there's no need for that, so there's a sleeker design. (At least I think that's why... lol)
I'm not talking about the ipod 5 & 6, we're talking about the design comparison between the ipod and iphone, which are pretty different. and yes, I'm sure it does have something to do with the antennas but they don't take up that much room, and I don't see why the couldn't implement it witht he same design. It would just be painted the same color as the rest of the metal design and you wouldn't even know it was there.
"why get an ipod when you can just get an iphone" Because having a dedicated device for listening to audio prevents your audio from being cut out whenever you receive a call. EDIT: Another reason for an ipod touch (and the reason I got one) is for imessage. My main phone is an android and I have no intention of switching to iPhone (they feel very limiting to me) but I still wanted to stay in contact with friends who lived abroad. Ipod was a nice, cheap option and imessage was very handy. That plus the music not cutting out during calls made it my dedicated media device
@@nie_mam_pomyslow yes. The contact between apple devices is the only reason I wanted it. I understand there are alternatives like WhatsApp but I have friends who have cut themselves away from stuff like that for the sake of their mental health, who live in other countries and use iPhone.
JAMAL JONES i always used ipods since tjey came out even though i have smart phones like my iphone 7 and one plus 3 i had every ipod touch i am currently rocking the 6 gen ipod touch it might be the last ipod touch in the line up but i still use it
*A few things:* -The iPod Nano didn’t _come out_ in 2012, it was last _updated_ in 2012. That was actually after _years_ of updates. -The iPod Nano doesn’t run any version of iOS, it just follows the same design principles. -The iPod Shuffle was last functionally updated in 2010, but it was refreshed in 2012 with new colours. -The iPod Touch was last _updated_ in 2015, not _released_ in 2015. *Final words:* You’re not giving those other iPods a chance. I personally still use my 4th Gen iPod Shuffle very frequently. The sound quality is actually really good (provided you have decent headphones), and 2GB actually doesn’t fill up as fast as you might think when you’re only putting music on it. Meanwhile, the Nano has a nice nostalgic design to it, and I think it’s a pretty cool throwback to when Apple actually put time and care into their products. I think it’s amazing that these products were maintained for so long.
Jonathan Phillips I don't really like big phones, so I hardly notice my phone's weight in my pocket. I think I misread the original comment, i didn't realize he had said a shuffle. Makes total sense if you wanna be weightless. A smartwatch could be another option as well. They have ones for under $20 that can play music.
Yea the shuffle can actually make a lot of sense today. If it had a bigger storage size, it could have been a great mp3. Also if it was a lot cheaper considering it's just an mp3 player
Yeah. I thought I was the only one who seemed to consider this. This is pretty much the only time I ever listen to music when I'm out and about so it seems odd to me that it's considered such an old school idea.
Victor NGaF I'm bringing classic back (yeah) You muthufukus won't know how to act (yeah) A metal frame wrapped around the glass (yeah) You know the name labeled on the back (yeah)
Well I use my iPod almost everyday because it's way better to have a whole device just dedicated to listening to music, even if it's an iPod touch. It saves space on your phone and if you prefer android and have an Android phone, you'll be able to experience android and iOS together
+Noah R-And personally, I would rather have an MP3 player that only serves to play music, and nothing else, sometimes you just want a device that can largely, only play music instead of cluttering it between a phone, apps, and everything else people stuff in now, in a way, MP3 players are like a newer version of a personal, portable radio, and it should stay that way. The only real problem I have with MP3 players on the whole is that they are a dime a dozen and it's very hard to figure out what kind of quality you are going to get from each MP3 player without buying it and trying it out yourself. Otherwise, the Apple MP3s have a remarkable longevity, especially the now beloved IPOD Classic, the sound, for the most part on them, remains very good, even with more expensive "higher-resolution" MP3 players and overall, they were built with quality in mind and they last a long time, arguably more than the newer MP3 players.
I agree. I had still been using my ipod classic that I bought back in 2010 but it recently started fucking up on me so I went ahead and ordered a used 5th gen ipod classic. I just need a device that is strictly for music alone
The shuffle is secretly an amazing product. One of the cheapest things apple sells and amazing for if you're exercising and don't want to bring your phone or fall off your bike when you're looking for the right album.
iPods are great if you want a dedicated music player. Something small portable for running, in the gym, on the go, etc. I have a iPod nano 7th gen and I would get the latest iPod touch if mine ever stopped working.
I don’t think the iPod Touch should die because a lot of kids use them to text their friends if they don’t need data yet. They can also FaceTime their parents if they have WiFi.
I think Ipod touch 7 is coming out in 2018. My reasons? It will have been 3 years. The Ipod touch 6 came out 3 years after the touch 5 in 2012. Also, Ipod touch 6 got a price reduction in June or July. The Ipod touch 5 also got a price cut before a new model came out. This makes me believe they are clearing inventory for a newer model. Also, last time I heard, they are still generating over a billion dollars in revenue from it, so it may still be worth it for them.
Oh yeah, and apparently there was some kind of leak in some meta data or something, suggesting that there will be another generation of Ipod. Search for it on youtube.
Obi Alfred Only pros like me. Dumb people stays where they are. iPod Touch and Nano are the best in mp3 than any iPhone devices. And they put A10 chip. Do you have internet?
I honestly hate streaming music. I understand the convenience of it, but I own so many cds. So why would I ever pay extra for a streaming service? I would rather just buy the new albums that come out and then transfer them from iTunes to my iPhone.
No, mee too.. Still don't know what Spotify is, or even tried Apple Music. I still believe in ownership. Everything I download I use it with other products, except movies bought on Apple. and BTW, your idea about the "new" iPod Classic sounds terrific... Haven't you seen those new Sony mp3 players that are all screen?? the're spectacular.
I feel you miss the point of an mp3 player, for me. Which is to be able to play music in the absence of internet and change song from within my pocket. And last more than a couple of days without charging. And not have to buy an armband holder to do anything active while listening. So I'd say the opposite. The big touchscreen ipod is useless for those with a smartphone, but the ipod nano has a much better (70h?) battery life and is nice and small and light, and the shuffle has physical buttons for on the go track changing and can clip on for when running. I will never get a purely touchscreen music device as I'd be giving up the pocket based changing of tracks. And for what? Additional features my phone already has. Unless I got headphones with a track changer on it, but again, my phone lasts a day or two. My mp3 player lasts a couple of weeks.
I watched this video on my iPod 6. I'm 16 and I can't afford to pay for a monthly phone plan, so I just use my iPod, it is basically the same exact thing as a phone except You need wifi to call or message people (wifi is pretty much everywhere these days anyways).
Hello_Hunter I'm 17 and I do the same. People don't realize that some kids don't / aren't able to get help from their parents to pay for things like a phone bill.
Mecha RBLX as a adult in these comments maybe one day when you grow up and pay for your own stuff you'll realize there's nothing wrong with what these kids are doing if that's what they want to do
Well, the iPod nano for $150 is severely overpriced. I can easily get a full Android phone for $100 that has access to any music streaming app, plus more. The iPod nano is a relic of a bygone era, and there's no point in selling it any longer.
darkstonecastle I remember receiving an iPod shuffle as a gift many years ago (maybe around 2008 or so), but I was extremely unexcited about it because I had a cheaper and more capable device with similar dimensions-the Sansa Clip, made by SanDisk. It had a removable clip, FM Radio (and a recording feature), voice recording, playlist ability, and a tiny two-tone screen! One of these was only around $60 and was much easier to use and more versatile than the iPod shuffle has ever been, even today.
Mine was an AT&T GOPhone Motorola C139, calls where $.25 a minute, TXT where $.10 each(sending & receiving), and it only had the built in polyphonic ringtones, but the battery life was was awesome at almost 5 days on standby.
Same here I have never bought any iPod before since they were expensive so I had to stick with AndroidOS after getting a Shuffle for 20 bucks I finally see why this things actually work because BOTH BATTERY AND AUDIO kills my boring slow and unresponsive lame android. No more worrying about "Google Play Music Has Stopped Responding" or having the lame AndroidOS spazz out and restart when I hook up my Sennheisers
Just tell her that the iPhone 5s is $150 and that you don't have to insert a SIM and it will function just as well as a 5th Gen iPod Touch. That way you get two in one!
I actually still like my 80 GB iPod Classic I got for my birthday in 2007. Changed the battery a couple years ago and it's still running. It was the one thing they did better than Microsoft. Still works great for storing podcasts and lots of music so you don't need to rely on streaming over LTE. When I was on vacation a couple months ago driving around Lake Michigan, the cell service was really hit or miss.
cardsfanbj yes, the older iPod where made way better than the ones today! They get cheaper and cheaper and last less and less with every new iPod touch that I have bought! So sad. Classic isn’t always bad, it’s a classic for a reason!
***** I can do so much more on my android phone than an iPhone user and it costs a fraction of the price... I really don't see what beats that. And saying 'it's much more simple' is a nicer way of saying that it lacks features.
rush b You can't say they're the best at everything without convincing sources, otherwise it's purely objective. Imo they're terribly overpriced especially in their computers
clowntrooper61 think it's something like 5 hours on one charge ... and you put the AirPods into the case and connect that to an outlet using a lightning cable .... hope that was useful 😂
jayan parmar 5 hours? That's pretty good considering how small they are and how much the battery must be. The case you get them in doubles as a dock as well. That's some great ingenuity. Yeah it did thanks
jayan parmar every device they take ports out of, I boycott the entire device category. They took headphone jack or if the iPhone, so I've boycotted iPhones. They took things away from the MacBooks, I refuse to ever buy any Mac, regardless of what it is. I bought an iPod touch 6th gen to go alongside my s7 edge and I have a hp laptop so il cool
"When was the last time you used an iPod?" Me: Err. I don't know, about 12 hours ago? I still have an iPod 4 which has about 1,000+ songs on it, from iTunes, which I also still use today.
Pokemon Masters sucks cuz ive always had iphones but still liked using ipods specially if i was playing sports or riding bikes but now they are basically obsolete lol
1. I have fuck tons of gb of high quality music I want to listen to on the go and I want my phone's data space saved for other purposes. 2. I listen to music all the time and I want to save my phone's battery for other purposes. 3. I don't stream music because I want to save my phone's Internet for other purposes. 4. As a musician, having a device solely for the purpose of playing music is convenient for playbacks at live gigs and practice. In conclusion, consumeristic casual music listeners like you might not see the purposes of iPods in 2017 but believe it or not they're still fuckin great and convenient for many people who take music a bit more seriously.
Absofuckinglutely My iPod classic still holds 160GB of perfectly ripped mp3s, plays extremely well through high-end IEMs, use Copy Trans so no issues with the admittedly sluggish iTunes, is sleek, has great simple UI, and at the $299 paid, over 7 years of reliable service works out cheaper than the so-called audiophile DAPs that people waste a grand on and get no better sound from. (They claim that they do, until challenged to blind test, when they get all evasive) I wish Apple would release a retro reissue, with 256GB or more, same simplicity, bigger battery and same price.. They could do it if they wanted, but sadly never will. So I'll diy fix mine when it finally dies, and make it last forever.
exactly the reasons why i was questioning his opinions. i had a 64gb ipod touch only for music and i still didn't have enough space. it's broken now so I'm getting the 128gb one. too bad the Ipod classic isn't available anymore.
fuck this weird-ass nano, who else remembers the OG 6th gen nano that had a touchscreen but was the size of the shuffle. Really tempted to buy one right now, great memories with iPods. I have friends who still own their 4th and 5th gen nanos we used to listen to music with back at school and I still keep my 60GB iPod Classic in my drawer, never use it tho. I remember the 3th gen iTouch without the camera and then the iconic 4th gen... awesome nostalgia
I just bought a new iPod classic 7th gen. Mainly for nostalgia and to hold pretty much every song I've ever listened to and enjoyed. I have a Bluetooth connector so I use it at the gym and when I'm not it's just like a crazy jukebox for my car. One of my favorite purchases in the last year.
Eh, not too sure. My bosses usually text me or something since its more convenient and its nice to have a written record of a conversation. Now with iMessage or Google's Allo, most text messages aren't even sent through a carrier but over WiFi.
Dedicated mp3 players have many advantages, including: better sound quality (most important) higher capacity (about as important) don't have to run down battery of your smart phone playing music.
smartphones have nowadays the actual size of a normal mp3 players or you can even use an Apple Watch or a smartwatch for that and you'll be ok without even bringing something with you as you'll be having the thing attached to your wrist. The quality is pretty much the same so there's really no point to get an iPod today in 2017. Really. It's an old technology by now.
I like to own my music end of story thank you, my collection kills spotify :) for me at least.....just like a calculator sometimes its nice to have the real thing, will I still play music on my? phone of course.
HEY, I resent that, I quite enjoyed my little red, felt covered, stick MP3 player, which I think had either 2GB or 4GB of memory which was pretty good at the time and it was only like $20, so it's still way better than the $50 that apple wants for the shuffle.
Skyrat you are not the only one. I mean, I guess you could technically say I stream on RU-vid. If I listen to a song on my computer. But I use CDs and I listen to my iPod with the music that is downloaded onto it. I definitely hate Spotify.
@@libertymartin5167 have you tried Spotify yourself though? Why hate it? Their music discovery and playlist curation is so good I found so many artists and music I never could have earlier (both old and new). Also, quality is better than MP3, more dependant on headphones really these days. N u can save songs offline (all for few bucks a month instead paying same amount or more for a single album) No I'm not sponsored by them 😋
I bought a shuffle. Downloaded several hundred songs. And gave it father so he could listen to music without having to worry about keeping track of Records, CD’s or cassettes. It made him very happy. Great reason to keep making them.
I last used an iPod classic last night coming home from work. I like the ability to plug it in my technics hifi and car without worrying about Bluetooth or draining my phone battery. Also 80 gigs of music leaves all that space on my phone free for all the transgender hentai I can download.
Well, yeah, but I still just prefer to have separate devices. That's the main reason I still have an iPod. Plus, the lack of headphone jack is just plain annoying.
+Dakota Dewberry Same. Most of my music just barely fit on a 320gb iPod Classic, and that was in 2011. I've bought so many more albums since then! I paid a fortune for a couple more of those 320gb Classics when they were discontinued, just because they're the only devices that come close to holding most of my music. In a pinch, I occasionally listen to some of my music through my iPhone via the Music app that came with it (using home network wifi, mostly), but it's annoying that it will only play stuff I purchased from iTunes, not any of the albums I imported from CDs over the years, which is about half of my music. It also won't show or play anything I purchased from Amazon and loaded into iTunes, either. But my iPods will.
yay! someone else besides me! I had the ipod touch 2 from 2008-2014, then the ipod touch 5 from 2014-present. might need to get a phone when I start living on my own but my ipods been pretty kind with all the wifi around these days
