Of course he would have to be lying because apple being the largest company in the world can do whatever it wants :roll eyes:...The thing works on demand and supply. A new product, with today's technology and a flash storage would possibly raise the cost significantly, which would further erode the little demand that remains for such a product. Its simple economics..
There's a huge difference between an AAPL Analyst and an Apple Analyst. One has a degree in economics and the other works out of a gypsy wagon parked outside a Starbucks for the free wifi.
I would have been more interested if he hadn't said it twice in two minutes. At that point it sounded rehearsed.
Apple is very fortunate to have the WSJ providing free advertising and advocating for Apple. Interesting how ideal their timing is. Uncle Walt is keeping his promise to Steve very faithfully. Its the gift that keeps on giving
More like Uncle Rupert knows whats good for him and wants in.
Tim has always been openly gay, he hasn't recently 'come out', that's just misreporting - as usual - from the media.
Every intermediate leader could run a succes story like Apple on a shorter horizon. Tim Cooks real quality (good or bad) will show in the coming 2-5 years. (And I am not too optimistic given the latest hard- and software updates).
Winters coming..

Is this the first time you've seen Tim cook say that? He has said it for quite awhile.

And when they wouldn't make much money entering the tv business anyway. Why would they? What would they have to gain by coming out with a full on TV set vs an Apple TV box on steroids? Stick with the little box, expand it a lot and that will be the content delivery service for iTunes. A service they make billions off of every year
Exactly. Designing a new iPod classic isn't exactly "skating to where the puck is going to be".
Pretty sure that was a tongue in cheek statement. Apple could get parts for anything it wants. It doesn't want to make more iPod classics because there is almost no money to be made in them any more.
Why the hell was this so delayed in being posted?
Re/code's videos were put up the week or so of their taping.

I don't care if a new iPod Classic isn't 'skating where the puck will be', a bigger capacity one would be brilliant. With a retina screen, that **** would have ruled. And just keep upping the capacity.
Neil Young's device will soon fill the iPod Classic's void for many audiophiles soon enough though.

I want a standalone music player, and Pono would be fine except that the Pono store will only sell their hi-fi music under DRM, which is a big turn off for a lot of people and was a big critisism of the iTunes Store until they stopped DRMing everything.
Plus the physical shape of that thing is... a Toblerone.

People trolling this hard really aught to be banned.
If nobody is making hard drives in the format needed for the classic iPod, it wouldn't make economic sense for Apple to set up and start manufacturing the drives themselves.
Unless you really believe the old "we lose money on each one, but we'll make it up in volume!".
