It's pretty rare that Apple releases a product to market nowadays that doesn't perform well. Even niche products sell in the tens of millions; however, the HomePod released in 2017 is estimated to have sold around just 5 million units during its product life cycle. The product is discontinued—dead—but still continues to get new updates with iOS 15. Why? Is Apple doing something behind the curtain that we just can't see? Today, we take a look at Apple's other failed hi-fi speaker—one that launched over 15 years ago at the exact same $349 price point. Why do they keep screwing these speaker systems up? What might they be planning for the future? Have they given up and settled on HomePod mini? I don't think so...

Hopefully this one was a good one. I planned, wrote, shot, and edited it all by myself in a day and a half. I can’t tell you how long it has been since I’ve made a video (a) that fast, and, (b) entirely myself. Years… And I’m clearly rusty. Anyways, expect quality to rebound back to a better spot over the coming weeks and video publishing frequency to return to once weekly. My new video producer starts Monday.

>plops down an obvious speaker >"But, what is this?" idk man, a vacuum cleaner?

The skullcandy sticker really hits in the nostalgia, gee i feel old now…

I still use one of these everyday.

One thing I loved about Steve Jobs, when he unveiled things in an event, he always spoke like he was just casually sitting in a coffee shop with a bunch of friends discussing a serious matter. Unlike Cook and the others these days who sound fake and robotic. Presentation plays a huge role, man. RIP.

Haha, your vacum cleaner ad gave me flashbacks to that time every tech Youtuber on earth released a sponsored video about the Dyson V12 all at once.
-
Those batteries popping out scared me an unreasonable amount.
-
9:06 That copyright cover is exactly what Sleepy Quinn would sound like if he recorded it after the b-roll🤣
-
8:52 Absolute art. The fact that you did that at 1:00 AM was funny enough, but the "song" that you demonstrated caught me so off guard. Beautiful stuff.

$15??? I need to live somewhere else 🤣
-
Impressive vocals at 9:05 . Quite impressed quinn😅
-
I love the iPod Hi-Fi dock and I wish Apple would refresh it. The A Roll in this video is great
-
Quick tip for people trying to remover stickers is to warm them up with a hair dryer first, they come out really easy when the adhesive is warm.

You didn’t mention it’s most amazing feature: TOSLink input port, which means you can hook it up to to last generation AirPort Express and this, made in 2006 device, plays with AirPlay 2. That means the iPod HiFi is a wireless speaker for every modern Apple device - iPhone, iPad, Mac, AppleTV (!!) , etc.

The most powerful whisper doesn't exi... 9:05

Great video! I bought one of these a couple of years ago when they were cheap and forgotten about. Sounds ok, but it's funny this speaker has no bluetooth capability...but at least it has an Aux input. It's 100x better than TV audio alone, so people out there, buy this if you find one cheap and use it as your soundbar.
-
I bought one of those and I attached a Airport express behind it in order to get airplay from my phone!
-
When I was a Mac Genius, we had this in the repair area, and it was glorious!
-
I genuinely had no idea this existed, and as an iPod collector, that surprises me!
-
That music editing when you were cleaning the dock was amazing
