“...a built-in battery...”

So, the controller is more disposable electronic trash, that has to be repurchased if you wear out the battery before you’re done with the PlayStation... or is it easily serviced to replace it with some standard battery?

I’m getting pretty sick of there type of whining. If “competitors” want a fair playing field they already have it. In short develop your own phone, ecosystem then maybe they can compete. After all I don’t see the EU going after Google to open up Google pay which is a competitor. It’s not like the banks have a monopoly now is it.... oh wait.

My use case is of course only limited to a few percent of the market, but it could anyhow jeopardize the market share of Macs

Did you consider the increase in Mac marketshare from having faster Macs at a lower entry-level price point? There is also the added advantage to all in more Mac users by Apple now allowing developers to sell a single license for iOS (watchOS), iPadOS, and macOS apps.

"At Fitbit, we believe that health belongs to everyone and that people should not be priced out of having access to devices and features that can help them improve their health," -- that's why we charge $30 more than an AW S3 and charge you $10 a month for our full suite of features! Can't wait to through my money at Fitbit!

I’m not trying to sound like a Debbie downer, but I agree, you can get unlocked iPhone 7’s for that price and not activate them for cellular, just use wi-fi for whatever your personal/business needs are or use them for just your music applications.
all this is, is them just getting rid of their old inventory by combining A-10 from products that either didn’t sell or were refurbished and placing them into these iPod touches that again weren’t popular sellers anymore due to the iPhone, depending on what phone model you bought.
Apple should have just reintroduced these as products for either school or business purposes and only made the 128gb model version available.
32gb of storage is to small and 256 is to much storage for a product that got last refreshed in 2015. 128gb is ideal for those 2 markets.
It would be more than enough if parents bought 1 for their kids for music or home mobile wi-if gaming.
But hey Apple has gotta make up for this product not being a popular seller somehow. Even though it will sell, just not in the masses as the iPhone or iPad.
Because this is where this product is slotted in with.
I’m hoping im wrong and I i hope it does well.
And I hope that Apple releases the figures of the product sold when it comes time for their quarterly earnings, but they will either do 1 of 2 things...
1. Not tell us because it didn’t sell as well,
2. Group the iPod touch in with the iPhone & iPad because they know that it didn’t do well so they added it in with the other 2.
