If Apple truly has no plans to discontinue the Classic and by not updating, it might have driven folks to get it before there are no more left. That was my initial knee-jerk reaction when the iPod Classic was not updated this past fall. In fact, it was a recommendation that I gave a friend. to buy it before Apple runs out of stock.
But a Macrumors reader e-mailed Steve Jobs imploring him not to discontinue such an iconic device.
To which Steve Jobs replied: We have no plans to.
Though no more was said beyond this, Typical Steve Jobs communique leave it open to interpretations. My hope is that we'll see an increase in battery life as well as storage in future Classics.
In hindsight, there was probably no need for Apple to update the Classic in the fall of 2010 when Apple updated the iPod nanos and the touches. With the iPod touch maxing out at 64GB, there was no need for Apple to increase the capacity of the Classic. Perhaps, in 2011, Apple will finally do something about an updated Classic.
Any taker on what improvement Apple may make for the iPod Classic?
