Why is Apple still making 2GB anything these days?
Memory is dirt cheap, the Shuffle should have at least 16GB and the Nano could have up to 128GB.
>>
>>53724475
why do you shop on the apple site only to look for things to complain to /g/ about?
>>
its a pricing scheme to make the higher storage models look exclusive and superior so they can sell them at elevated prices and realize the highest margins for their best models.
>>
>>53724475
The shuffle is for joggers. You don't need a lot of music for jogging.
>>
>>53724553
But why would I want anything other than my entire collection available on me?
>>
>>53724507
>why go on a gay dating website if you're straight
you make good point
>>
>>53724553
maybe if you're a shitty jogger who listens to 128 kbs schlock
>>
>>53724475
of course apple would donate for AIDS
>>
>>53724569

Desicion fatigue?

>>53724475
Why the fuck would you buy a dedicated MP3 player in 2000 fucking 16? iPod touch and nano are barelly smaller and cheaper than SE ... or any other fucking phone with SD card. shuffle is small and all but it's gimmicky and not relevant, even if you run around like a crazy person.
>>
>>53724553
Yeah, I like how Apple products always are exclusive to a group in society when people complain about them.
>>
Shuffles still sell like hotcakes to poor and uneducated people who still want to be able to truthfully say they own an Apple product. They're the closest thing Apple has to an entry in "budget" markets.
>>
for those sweet profit margins

same reason they don't have decent gpu options in any of their macs
>>
>>53724859
It's called "making products for a certain market" aka. something most other companies fail at. Apple devices aren't meant to be jack of all trades.

>he wants 40,000 songs on a device with no screen.
smart.
>>
>>53725081
I don't need a screen to listen to music.
>>
>>53724475
>$49
>2GB
Disgusting
>>
>>53725109
You generally need a UI to manage playlists and songs.
>>
>>53725148
No, you literally use iTunes for that on all Apple devices.
>>
The smallest NAND flash chips in fabrication today are 128 Gbit (16 GB). Just wait until the old ones run out; problem solved.
>>
>>53725173
No, you don't. It's really only required on with the shuffle. When was the last time you bought an Apple device?
>>
>>53725211
I have a 4th gen Touch.
>>
>>53725017

Sure.
>>
>>53724569
Because when you don't have a screen navigation will be a bitch

Why I hate Apple now.
>>
>>53726831
Even chick adapters are 25 bucks, so not exactly cheap.
>>
>>53724475
apple devices are for poorfags
>>
>>53725175
There are 512gb SD cards and those could easily fit into the shell of a shuffle
>>
>>53724475
The same reason iPhone 6s has 1334x750 resolution - they just want more money. Faggots will buy this shit anyway.
>>
>>53728327
Or maybe because a better resolution offers minimal benefits compared to the drawbacks like battery drain and performance?
>>
>>53724475
>16gb 199$
>128gb 399$

I could buy two ipods for the price of the 128gb one. Meanwhile, 128gb sd cards cost less than 40$
