Apple should really do a 25th anniversary edition iPod with a scroll wheel, modernized battery, and modernized storage.
Do some nice nostalgia marketing for the zoomers and people that had one back in the day and it would sell like hotcakes.

  That would at the very least have to have Bluetooth (and at that point they might as well add wifi, since that is more or less the same modem).
  That would make a damn nice 149$ apple music machine, slap some stripped down firmware on it, so they can argue why it only supports apple music streaming.

    That price may be wishful thinking. Aren’t even their base ear buds $130?

    Yes, you're probably right. Ipod nanos already started from ~150$ 20 years ago.

    I miss my $50 shuffle. It was suc a beautiful bit of engineering!

    FWIW, the last-gen iPod Nano had Bluetooth already.
