The last iPod Classic with 160GB of storage was made in 2008. You can't get support or parts for it anymore. But, for those of us who travel for extended periods to foreign countries where Internet streaming at acceptable speeds is not available, where national firewalls or DRM prevent cloud access from a foreign country, or where the Internet may not be available at all, the iPod classic remains the lightest, smallest, and most efficient option for carrying music, video, and other digital media. The same is true for travel to areas in the U.S. where the Internet is either not available or, if it is, download speeds are so slow that iCloud streaming is impossible. The storage limit on the iPhone 5 is 64 GB and 128GB on the most expensive iPhone 6. That's not a lot if 5 seasons of the Wire are taking up a lot of space.
Therefore, Apple should revisit its decision and bring the high capacity iPod Classic back into production. I'll buy one! I bet more people like me would too.
