@marcoarment @mattbirchler you mean iPad Mini Minis?
Developers, and music lovers who don’t want to pay for a large-capacity iPhone

@0xjared@mattbirchler I’ve certainly never needed one. I’ve never owned a Touch.

@marcoarment@mattbirchler Spot on, except: I own every Apple device, and I have an iPod nano for running. iPhone is too bulky in a pocket. - View other replies

@room34@marcoarment You're probably in the minority, but that is s totally valid use case.

@marcoarment@mattbirchler Some really unofficial iPad sales stats. Thanks! very interesting. -
@natisho@marcoarment Unofficial only. I might get in trouble if I included anything specific ;)

@marcoarment@mattbirchler Does seem to be a pundit-driven perception that iPod Touch is worthless:http://brisbin.net/blog/2015/07/17/the-one-ipod-touch-fangirl/ … -
@shelly@marcoarment Also fair. It's hard to see the value in something if it doesn't suit your needs.

@marcoarment@mattbirchler iPod Demographics: Touch - for kids with no phone. Nano - for old people. Shuffle - for ill-conceived gifts. -
@jdlien@marcoarment Kind of sums it up haha

@marcoarment@mattbirchler the line about how much kids love iPads rings so true with my 4 and 3 year olds -
@perfy My wife is a teacher and also says that iPads will quiet an elementary classroom quicker than anything else.

@marcoarment also waterproof iPod Shuffles. Coworker has one. So popular that Amazon advertises them on landing pagepic.twitter.com/Uu43x3YAEt
-
@marcoarment to clarify, my point is that if you search for "iPod Shuffle" Amazon prominently advertises the one that's treated for swimming
-
-
@marcoarment@mattbirchler they also make good test devices. -
Funny. I love my iPod shuffle. Perfect running/walking podcast player with real "no need to look at" interface!

@marcoarment I actually bought an iPod Shuffle for myself, for use at the gym (6+ to big) in the months I was waiting for my Watch to arrive - Show more
