I have a hunch that one of the main new features of the new iPod Touch will be wireless charging, to drive sales of the new AirPods and AirPower among young people whose parents won't give them an iPhone yet. I'd love to see an all-screen design and an upgraded camera, too. Wouldn't be too surprised if they dropped the headphone jack to spur wireless sales, but on an iPod, that would be pretty damn stupid.
Tim Cook would be the one to drop it, because he has “courage” to say that 255kbps audio quality exceeds 999kbps lossless coming out of the headphone jack... You dumb people down into a mush by taking away their hearing and then it is much easier to distort their other senses as well
As someone who is from Alabama.... Auburn grads know quite a bit about cows, and forcing heavier and heavier iPhones on people, and degrading the audio quality on all iOS devices and having users accept it just confirms that Auburn grads know how farm animals work... I don’t see individuals as tools to be used up and discarded... I am the one who throws a sledgehammer through your vulnerable ecosystem which is built on a sandy foundation.
That one guy brings up a great point...the new iPod will 100% have wireless charging capability, because why would they release it at an event alongside the AirMat.... With that being said, the new iPod would have to have metal coils in the back to facilitate this, and it will add more weight to it, with nullifies any technological gains that are made with it.
When are the people in Cupertino going to wake up and realize that you can make your products lighter and market it as being lighter and use that to justify a higher price point to consumers?
Is a 2.5 pound tent supposed to cost more than a 1 pound tent? No, it costs half the price. Why? Because weight is nearly everything in Ultralight adventures and Apple is completely abandoning us, by putting more bloatware into their devices and chaining its users down not only software wise but physically as well.
If you create an ultralight device you can sell it for much more if you market it in a way that shows how quality of life improves by lessening friction with all the devices that surround you. No wonder America has such an obesity epidemic. LESS IS MORE PEOPLE!!! LESS IS MORE
