iPod Discontinued

Contributors within the Apple Support Community (ASC) are all end-users, just like you. Other than the site Moderators, Apple neither monitor nor participate within the Support Community. As such, contributors have absolutely no influence with Apple or its Development Team.

Other than information published by Apple, nobody here has any insight into Apple’s product end-of-life or future product development decisions.

Because it's outdated technology.

PS. Apple is not here, this is a user to user forum.
