I think there would be still quite a market for an up-to date incarnation of the iPod. Roughly in the size of the last iPod nano. There are times and activities where you can or don't want to use your iPhone and traditionally use an iPod. Especially if it came with a bit more storage and of course good Apple Music integration (e.g. be able to automatically sync your playlists to your iPod).
The Apple Watch might one day take that role, but for now it doesn't offer enough storage and its interaction is a bit more difficult due to the small size.
- vinceguidry 9y agoSure, there's plenty of markets that Apple exits that they could still make money on. But Apple has always been a company about focus. They just can't keep all those designers and engineers focused on a dying market segment. Better to refocus them on something new.
- scarface74 9y agoIf you have a cellular equipped Apple Watch that you just want to use for music and a subscription to Apple Music, is storage a big deal? On the other hand, my next phone will probably be the next generation 4 inch iPhone SE with the most storage I can get when Apple introduces it. I'm really starting to like the idea of a small phone + an iPad over a slightly larger phone that really doesn't enhance usability for me.
- girvo 9y agoMy iPhone SE is literally the best phone I’ve ever owned. Perfect size, used sparingly, and often as a tether for my iPad instead when I want to do any type of content management or creation. And it fits in my pocket properly!
