Tim Cook Explains Why The iPod Classic Had To Die

The Huffington Post reports:
Speaking at the Wall Street Journal's international technology conference Monday night, Apple CEO Tim Cook came clean about why the company discontinued the iPod Classic.

"We couldn’t get the parts anymore, not anywhere on Earth," Cook said. "It wasn’t a matter of me swinging the ax, saying, 'What can I kill today.'"

The iPod Classic was quietly pulled from the online Apple Store in September, during the release of the iPhone 6 and Apple Watch. And while the company maybe could have redesigned the device, it turns out that the iconic Classic didn't attract enough interest to keep it on the market.
The best Ipod.
