Ending the iPod Classic
During the event, Cook was also asked why Apple recently stopped selling its iPod Classic device, which although overtaken by newer products like the iPod touch and iPhone, remained a symbol of Apple’s comeback as a consumer electronics company.
“We couldn’t get the parts any more. They don’t make them any more,” said Cook, according to Engadget. “We would have to make a whole new product… the engineering work to do that would be massive… The number of people who wanted it is very small.”
Doesn’t bode well for repairs then, does it?
