Why are the older ipods more expensive?

Hello,
I am trying to purchase another i-pod. The one I have is full. I do not need all the bells and whistles. I noticed the older i-pods that do not have
so many options, but still have a fair amount of memory are discontinued or are very expensive. What do you suggest?

Buy an iPod classic. Apple still makes them, and the latest model has 160GB of storage. 160GB. That's a lot.

  • Why is the unlocked iPhone more expensive than the iPad?

    I am using an old iPhone 3G on a prepaid network.  Love it.  Getting long in the tooth -- time to upgrade.  $650?!  The iPad is only $499 and way cooler (minus the phone part).  What gives, Apple?

    I am asking myself the exact same question as @keithfromclarkson. Why is the iPhone so darn expensive. My only reason, is because Apple can. People are buying it like hotcakes. But it still bugs me, cost of production of iPhone is significantly less than that for iPad consider the following:
    (All are 16GB models)
                        Retail cost    Cost of BOM + Manufacturing
    iPhone          $649             $207
    iPad 3           $599             $306.15
    iPad 3 4G      $629             $358.30

  • Why are Macbooks so much more expensive in NZ compared to US?

    Hi,
    Just wondering why the apple products are so much more expensive in NZ than in US. I am looking at getting a new macbook pro 17" and saw it is NZ$4149, and US$2500. So I used the exchange rates to convert US$2500 to NZ$. It came to approx $3000. So why are they making us pay another $1000 in NZ??

    Economies of scale most likely.

    Your question should be looked at in the opposite "Why are US citizens getting a discount?"
    If you compare the two economies and what people tend to buy perhaps that would shed some light.
    Perhaps the "Apple halo effect" doesn't reach OZ? 

  • Why is the basic pack more expensive then the plus pack?

    It says the basic is .99 cents for the first month and then 14.99 each month after, while the plus pack is 8.99 a month. Can someone please explain this or have i just misunderstood the pricing?

    The basic is indeed more expensive, but can be cancelled every month, while the pro plan is billed on a per-year basis. Enjoy your day!

  • Why are iPhoto prints now more expensive? (used to be $0.12, now $0.99)

    I have ordered prints in the past--normal size (4x6, 5x7) and panoramic--inexpensively, but now the price is significantly higher. When I try to share it to print online this pricing show. I am running Yosemite and iPhoto was updated in the process of that update. What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks for any help or ideas...

    Only the wallets (4 per print) are $0.99.  The other sizes are the same:

  • Why is the black MacBook more expensive?

    It seems that you could configure a white macbook to have the same exact configuration as the black one, but pay $125 less. Are people really paying $125 just for the black color??

    ... and people will pay a couple hundred dollars more more to get a CPU chip that has about 10% more processing throughput. 20% price increase for 10% processing gain.
    I waited until there were nice price cuts on the 1.83 C2D Macbook as retailers dumped them to make room to stock new SR Macbooks. In daily life, they feel about equal, but I have a bit more money in the bank. True, you get Tiger for the OS now, but it doesn't seem like it is a huge gain over Leopard. By waiting, the 1.83 C2D Macbook was actually a little less expensive than a similar notebook from Dell.
    For some people, style trumps function, and that's OK. If you're a sales rep or similar person, where you get brownie points for style, then it makes sense. Also, if you have the money and it makes you feel good, then why not...? You only live once; might as well be happy.
    PS: you could buy the cheaper machine and donate your savings to a charity.

  • Why  are the movies $1 more on apple tv than itunes??

    i was looking on my itunes to day & saw the movies where cheaper on itunes, so why did i pay $129 for the apple tv when & can run my 4m hdmi in to my bravia ?????

    Just to clarify:
    Within the itunes store you can buy movies in:
    480p (standard def.)  = cheapest option
    720p (HD) = Generally $1 more (if available to download in the first place, as not all titles are avail in HD)
    1080p (HD) = Same price as 720p
    On an ATV, by default you only have the option to purchase movies in HD (at the prices noted above), provided an HD format is available in the first place.
    On an ATV-2, you cannot access 1080p rentals at any time (if you try a work around with itunes, you will be dissapointed...  https://discussions.apple.com/message/18013054#18013054)
    To access 1080p rentals within itunes, you must choose to download the higher stream (BUT FIRST)...
    -you must turn on 1080p downloads:
    1)open settings menu
    2) go to preferences
    3) click store
    4)change the default HD videos preference (shown below)

  • Are the old iPods more efficient that the new ones?

    It seemes to me that the old ones are more secure because they aren't "touched" by the "latest technology"...instead the new ones are full of high-tech improvmens that make them more unstable.

    If that doesn't clear it up, post back with the following:

    Is anything else on your TC, besides these backups?  If so, what, and how large?

  • Why are there so many more choices on the USA iTunes Store? Surely having an iTunes account should let you access all itunes availability the world over? Also how do you request films/tv series to the UK itunes?

    Why are there so many more choices on the USA iTunes Store? Surely having an iTunes account should let you access all itunes availability the world over?
    Also how do you request films/tv series to the UK itunes? There's tv series I'd like but they're incomplete like The Batman & Xena Warrior Princess. And films theta aren't available for download but you can purchase in a store like HMV?  Apple isn't doing itself any favours by secluding countries by their store. They'd make billions if you could just select the iTunes Store you want to search & purchase from just by signing in! If anything what they're doing is putting themselves into a corner, other companies like Samsung & HTC are already on too of them for innovation & ease of use. The people they're attracting are predominantly existing Apple users not new customers. What do you guys think?

    It's not Apple's choice, they can only sell a particular item where the content provider/rights-holder has granted them a license to sell them. Content is licensed by the rights-holders to Apple on a country-by-country basis, each country therefore has to have its own store, and you have to be in a country to use its store - they want control over where their content is available.
    You can try requesting that an item be added to the UK store via this page, but unless the rights-holder agrees to then Apple won't be able to sell it here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • Why are the application in the apple store are not compatible with the iPod touch 4g? Apple please realize there are some of us who still have the iPod touch 4g!

    Why are the application in the apple store are not compatible with the iPod touch 4g? Apple please realize there are some of us who still have the iPod touch 4g! I just want to know.

    Once I find the game i will truly screenshot that it states "not compatible for these models". I just find it RIDICULOUS that my iPod touch is in good condition and some of the applications that I want download sometimes are not compatible with my iPod touch 4g. I am not going to buy an ipod 5th generation if my 4g is still going strong since the year of 2010.

  • WHY ARE THE UK USERS PAYING MORE FOR THE CLOUD SERVICES????

    WHY ARE THE UK USERS PAYING MORE FOR THE CLOUD SERVICES????
    OR IS IT JUST LAZYINESS THAT YOU CHANGE THE DOLLAR SIGN FOR THE POUND?

    it obviously doesn't, but then again some people or organisation only care about price when it comes to purchasing their laptops, and it is hard to justify making a special model for a selected few.
    Sure everything can be done if there is a market for it, but Lenovo won't know how large the market is before hand, as such they are hedging a bet by not moving with the market (which Lenovo have done on many occasions). I guess the finanical return is not the worth the risk for Lenovo to keep the 4:3 or 16:10 screens.
    But this debate has been going back and forth for a long time, so no point bringing it up again and again.

  • Are the newer ipod classics (80GB and above) compatible with docks for the older ipod classics (20GB)?)

    are the newer ipod classics (80GB and above) compatible with docks for the older ipod classics (20GB)?)

    I have an iPod Touch 2 with iOS 4.2.1.  This is the highest version that works on this device.  I checked it once and it had to do with iOS 4.3 and above only supporting the higher RAM CPUs on newer devices.
    Apple does make it harder than it needs to be.  There still remain a number of apps available on iTunes that will work but they are hard to find because you must manually look at each app specs to see if the app supports an iOS below 4.3
    App backups are your friend since iTunes has no way to keep older version of apps.
