Coming up on Hands on Tech, let's go for a thought experiment.

Should the iPod Classic make a return?

This is Twit.

Hello and welcome to Hands on, or should say, hello and welcome to Hands on Tech. It is December,

one of my favorite months of the year. And today, as is always the case, I, Micah Sargent,

am taking your tech questions and answering them. Occasionally you write in with a question

that is not about tech support per se, but instead

is simply a thought experiment.

And so I'm kind of interested in this question, which comes in from Michael.

Michael is written in with the following.

Do you think Apple will ever create what will be an updated iPod Classic, which could be updated to be a home ecosystem device?

Use an old iPhone device, strip the telephone component, use latest Bluetooth and Wi-Fi standards,

modified software mimicking the iPhone without the telephone.

They would probably have many sales if the price was right, and that would be significantly

less than the lowest price on the lowest level iPhone available today.

Michael, Michael, Michael, let me read this again.

Use an old iPhone device, strip the telephone component,

use the latest Bluetooth and Wi-Fi standards,

and modified software mimicking the iPhone less the telephone.

Are you getting it?

You're describing an iPad, Michael.

I understand that in part what you do mean here is a small device, right?
