It is well known that Apple released a long time a product that does not sell. And there's the assumption that the company will soon cease production of its iPod MP3-players, leaving only the more popular - iPod Touch. About it writes TechCrunch. After Apple's vice president of finance, Peter Oppenheimer (Peter Oppenheimer) has published data on the company's sales revenue of its handheld devices, everything fell into place. It turns out, iPhone sales in comparison with the previous year increased by 626%, while sales of iPod Touch - 130%. At the same time, iPod sales have not changed.
Even the words of Oppenheimer, iPod Touch and iPhone products is practically superseded MP3-player iPod from the market. And despite the fact that Apple and so belongs to the 70% of the world market of MP3-players. This suggests that a player will soon become not relevant, because any phone will play music as well, if not better, and that have other functions (such as the possibility to watch movies, take pictures, to have access to the Internet, work with applications).
Thus, even if the iPod is still hold in the market for some time, he has not long to live. It will replace the iPod Touch, which eventually supplant something new and even more incredible, and extremely useful for the consumer. History, as we know, develops cyclically.
But who will certainly be saved because it is younger Shuffle, popular among outdoor enthusiasts and athletes.
