Apple’s only current iPod, the iPod Touch, has very few (if any) advantages over the other products in Apple’s ecosystem.



While some have clamored for a refresh of the iPod Touch – like this concept here – others have proposed a different, potentially more profitable, idea. A retro collectible iPod Classic that uses Apple’s latest and greatest technology.



Thadeu Brandão’s design, pictured below, is just one of a few excellent examples of what this retro collectible could look like.



Thadeu Brandão’s iPod Classic Concept

The concept sports a number of new, useful features that would make this beauty worth buying:

Touchscreen

Apple Watch UI

3D Touch (which could be substituted for haptic touch)

Compatibility with Apple’s W1 chip

Biometric security (TouchID)
