    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.

      They'd sell hundreds of units! Thousands even.

      Although I can see them selling an original 2007 iPhone Anniversary Edition, fully upgraded under the hood and with a modern screen/camera/wifi/5G

      But I'm only saying that because I don't like giant phones: I'm in the 2% minority.

        Yes, the MBAs won’t like it. But maybe, once in a while, companies should do things because they are cool and not because it clears some threshold on a magic spreadsheet.

        I’d even settle for Apple opening up the Music app so I can upload music to my iPhone from Linux. But once again, that doesn’t make the spreadsheet sparkle.

          The ghost of Steve Jobs has spoken.
