iPod was canned because Apple couldn’t get the parts

Weird excuse of the day

The iPod classic was not killed off because it was so out of date that users would not buy it. According to Apple CEO Tim Cook, it was sidelined because Apple could not get the parts any more.

Early this September, Apple officially killed off the iPod Classic Cook said that it could not get the parts any more, “not anywhere on Earth.”

Of course the does imply that somewhere, off world there is an alien race which makes iPod parts but would not sell Cook the parts at a viable rate.

Cook went on to explain, “It wasn’t a matter of me swinging the ax, saying ‘what can I kill today’. The engineering work was massive, and the number of people who wanted it very small. I felt there were reasonable alternatives.”

While it is true there are alternatives out there as far as media players are concerned, one of the advantages the iPod Classic had was that it came with decent storage space. But apparently people are now happy putting their coldplay collection on the iCloud. Just ask the Fappening victims how well that worked out for them.
