How I see it is that I would want a iPod Classic to have the ability to Wi-Fi so that we can look up albums you want then download and have an free Apple Music subscription when you buy it.

Also to have a voice recognition system with it so that we won't have a hard time looking for albums or songs.

So an iPhone?

Mp3 player in in the yeear of our lord two thousand and twenty.

without all the app notifications and s***, yeah

It would have to support hi res files like flac, dsf etc for people to be interested which I doubt they’d do.

Just buy a Classic and install a SD Card reader in it.

I did this with mine. 1 TB iPod Classic 5th Gen

True.

I got an old 160GB that I sometimes use.

Love actually having like 95% of its space being able to be media and not wasted by an OS.

Yup.

It would need like some new age built in DAC/Amp that does like 900khz at 64 bits with an advanced EQ app that directly communicates with said DAC.

They could do it since they could abstain a lot of phone features and there would be more room for sound processors n s***.

Then again I feel like the new Sony Walkmans already got the audiophiles on lock.

Apple users don't strike me as the type to care about sound quality, tho.

After all, they all nut in their pants over the s***ty AirPods

Apple has its customers exactly where they need em. Even if they did go back into MP3 players, it most certainly would be more gimmicks than actual quality.

Exactly, I just can’t see apple taking that step towards hi res like other daps which also include a dac on board. Shame but there’s so many out there that it would be pointless.

Don’t think they’d make much money from it too. I remember when I first got AirPods Pro and I was boasting about how good they sounded. Purchased some IEMs for less than half the price and they blow the AirPods out the water.

Thought the same for many years. Maybe one day

that sounds like a good ass idea idk why I never thought of that

but AirPods Pro just work with the apple ecosystem. they so convenient and I prefer them over my dt 770s or hd 650s

Over 650s?

I mean yeah they work well with apple products, I mostly use them when I watch films on my tv, Mac etc but for music they are awful.

I initially purchased the KZ ZS10 Pros and they are leagues better, since then I literally never use them for listening to music. Now I’m using the Sennheiser IE400 and they sound similar to the HD6XX line up.

So a HomePod?

You basically just described my watch but it doesn't stream online lmfao

Imagine AirPods with a cellular plan

Like, all voice control. Kind of functions like an Apple Watch. You can save contacts and music and everything to it from your phone, but wouldn’t need your phone with you to be able to listen or make calls from it

^they shoulda done some like this instead of a new iPhone with no features

we should be able to do all that with the apple glasses i assume. if not throw that whole thing away

miss the ipod days... no ads, no bs, classic games, old layout.. S*** WAS FYE

the wheel is too much spinning

even with voice commands, I'd rather just use an ipod touch or smartphone

I like modern music apps

Dank Pods Gang

still got mine
but the battery dies in like 3 hrs

Listening to music on my 3rd gen Nano as we speak Lil mans thin as a playing card and stores 2000 songs the future is now

Checking in again to say this needs to happen ASAP
