Apple becomes the first US company to be worth 1 trillion

That’s the least bit of concern for apple. They consistently release new devices and he customer base is extremely loyal. They do much more than devices. Ever heard of iTunes or the App Store? They’re getting a chunk of everything sold on both of those. If anything, refurb and repair shops create more of a market on their higher margin software sales by enabling more people to afford the hardware part.
Is iTunes still a thing with all the other options out there now a days?
I cant remember the last time I used my iPod or Itunes. When I'm listening to music on my iPad its usually Pandora.
Looooool. Can’t tell if you just guys have a level 10 troll game or not.
Either way I’ll bite - Apple Music is the second largest subscription service behind Spotify. They have it.
I wasnt trolling, was asking a legit question.
Besides myself, I very rarely if ever see friends or family using an iPod or iTunes anymore.
I would never buy another Apple product as long as I live. I sold my Itouch last year when they purposely made that model obsolete with Itunes, and i could no longer connect it with the software or add/remove music with it.
It did work great, but they purposely make their items obsolete so you buy their newer shit.

That's the free market, and i support it.
Lots of good little consumers out there who flock to their stores as soon as their new overpriced crap hits the shelves. I think they call them "lemmings"
My iPod is before the touch screens, lol.
I wonder what would happen if I plugged it in to my PC?
There really isn't any good option for managing a huge music library. Apps have tried, most fail to do the job anywhere near as well as iTunes. There are some paid alternatives but you don't get the library management features unless you pay, and their ability to sync to an iPhone is often tied to having iTunes installed on the machine anyways. I've tried ditching.
I utilize smart playlists, ratings, and make heavy use of music tags to create living playlists. Much of these advanced features aren't available.
The one app that DID kick iTunes ass is dead as a door nail. Winamp's library management is still top notch. Its just dead though.
What I'm really hoping is that Plex gets its act together in regards to music library curation. Right one one key feature they are missing is smart playlists. With the ability to stream music from home, and cache it on my phone, I could completely ditch iTunes and never need to sync music again ever. But while I can filter, and save live filters, the advanced sorting and presentation of the music is lacking.
Whats funny is that Id say half those stores cost more to repair a phone than it is to go to Apple and have it repaired.
