If only apple could work on a modern ipod replacement. I used to have an ipod shuffle (this tiny thing with a clip), and I was using it every day for sports.

How do people listen to music when doing sports? Iphones suck in this regard (you cannot run with it in your pocket or hands; and this band on your arm is just uncomfortable).

Apple could do well with just an iPod classic with a moderns screen, a half terabyte of storage, headphone jack and support for Airpods and Apple Music. They could shift a decent amount of units.

It wouldn't have to be cheap just done well.

Sony walkman kind of dominate the market as far as i understand. Not exactly the same, but close enough that Apple might not sell as much as you think.
