New evidence suggests that the iPod Classic will be discontinued After the Keynote of the new iPhones on Tuesday, after several years of speculation the iPod model refused to die and Has survived to the launch of models with the most advanced technology and features. Although this music player contains a HDD and the others contain a flash memory, which has physical controls when everyone else has a touch screen, this device still surviving since 2009 continuation of the original model launched in 2.001, which Apple stores continue to sell today.
But this model will leave us, according to Wired and a lot of comments on the matter that agree that the Cupertino company will withdraw this old model from stores because it no longer has the latest technology if they we compare with what the iPod Touch and iPod Nano offer us. Some web pages have already requested the withdrawal of this model in 2011 since sales of it fell sharply and it is rather considered a device as its name indicates classic.
In fact it is commented that if you want to buy an iPod Classic or iPod Shuffle model you should do it the most fast possible before they are off store shelves. Even Technica ventures to affirm that the iPod Touch will also disappear of the market, possibly given the presentation and sale of a cheaper iPhone model, iPhone 5C, the iPod Touch device no longer makes sense since the company's low-cost smartphone would have the same functions as the iPod by adding the network mobile that if we add it to a competitive price will make this iPod unprofitable.
By contra saying that the iPod Classic is a great device for music lovers, it is the Apple device with the most storage capacity that reaches up to 160 GB capacity Not only can you have your entire iTunes music library wherever you are, but it can also be used as a storage unit for files or documents. Against the 'older' brothers of the Classic only reach up to 64 GB of capacity.
Do you think that after Keynote on the 10th the iPod Classic will actually leave us?

Will always be amazon
I still have mine, in black bought in 2007, the truth is that I hardly use it anymore because I have the iPhone, but to go on a trip, or play sports with its 80gb there is nothing better, the truth is, robust, reliable and fast
I still use my 80gB video ipod with the first case I bought from it, an iskin evo, which I have dropped a hundred times and is still in perfect condition ...
and despite using a hard disk, its battery ... aaaay its battery ... that lasts a couple of weeks with a single charge and using I think normal at a moderate volume ... and still putting thousands and thousands of songs and to use it as hdd I have never gotten to fill it completely ever….
I think many people would miss it, but it has a certain logic for all the arguments you comment on and that it also uses the 30-pin dock, which breaks the continuity of the lightning connectors ...
I have 160 gb black mine, and I have had an ipod touch, nano, I have an iphone and I would not change it. the battery lasts forever, I have all my music and videos wherever I go. he has endured the blows like a champion. From an objective point of view, it does not make sense to sell it with the technology we have today, but for the reliability and reliability it gives, of course it is worth buying. even more so, just for the feeling of being my first ipod haha
Keep in mind that it has a 30-pin connector, I think Apple is interested in changing all its products to the new connector.
Ps so I do not want him to die, I have been wanting one for 2 years but I have been waiting for an update that looks more modern hehe but ps see what happens if you continue I will buy it in an unofficial store since the truth attracts me 120gb but ps see what happens
Please who knows where I can buy one I have it on a wish list
