I don't know what I'm going to do when my iPod Classic's no longer repairable, but the fact that it's still working perfectly tells me all I need to know about why Apple no longer sells them.

Apple's whole set-up for elegant, simple product design actually peaked with the click-wheel iPod, IMO. They've been riding the wave of "dumbing down tech for the 'average' user" since day one.

This makes me stomping mad but to be fair Android does the same exact poo poo. my phone ran great when I bought it and then 2 updates later and it lags just navigating the home screens. Did a factory reset to make sure it wasn't an issue on my end but nope lol.


also lol at that error 53 poo poo idk what the gently caress those idiots were thinking but even if they win the class action lawsuit that is going to hit them any day now they're still going to lose tons of good will

Why does the phone need to be that goddamn thin for anyway? The loving iPhone 6 is already so thin that the camera sticks out so the drat phone wobbles on your table.

Apple "bucking the trend" when they used their own connector for charging was acceptable back in the iPhone 1 days when every stupid company used their own cable for charging; and even when USB was becoming standard some used mini and some used micro. So while annoying, it wasn't the end of the world.

But getting rid of the loving headphone jack?? An audio standard from before most of us were born? hahahaha
