Austin is absolutely correct. The USB Superdrive is the oldest Apple product you can still purchase new. They brought it out in 2008 to go along with the launch of the MacBook Air. The device has seen no revisions or modifications since then. It is, at least, a quality drive; I've had mine for years and years and it still sits on top of my M1 Mac Mini ready to go
If you count cables, the oldest Apple product you can get new is a 30 pin dock cable. It was released with the 1st USB iPod in 2003 whereas the Superdrive was released alongside the 1st Macbook Air in 2007
@@matthewjbauer1990 actually the 30 pin got revised from having little buttons on the side you had to push to unlock the connector to spring loaded pins. This also made the connector a lot less tall. Not sure when that happened but this might make the superdrive the actual oldest product still around.
Actually have to agree with what Matt said about the Xbox controller layout. Whenever I use the PlayStation controller for extended periods of time, my hands will start to hurt, this issue went away after I tried using an Xbox controller. the shape definitely feels nicer to hold and the stick layout really makes sense once you start to use it
Can definitely agree I've used the PS3 controller for 6 years, so I thought the Xbox One controller was gonna be uncomfortable... (Boy I was wrong, imo the Xbox controller is more comfortable now lol)
The original Nintendo controller feels the most natural to hold and use out of all controllers ever made. I don't understand how anyone can use their thumb for both A and B buttons, I use 1 finger on each, and have complete control.
Conspiracy theory: all USB SuperDrive that Apple is selling was made before 2016 and the reason they still keep it around is because they made way too many of them, because they predicted that people are gonna need it, but they were wrong, so they have to keep selling it until it ran out. Even though years have passed, they still have way too many in stock, so they just hope someone would come and buy them all up, so they could officially discontinue this product. Reminder: this is 100% made up. Don’t take it too seriously.
Nah, Apple has no problem removing products that they deem no longer viable. They’ll pull the product and recycle what they can to make other products. Remember, Apple loves to tout about their earth-saving recycling and how it saves from all the stuff going into landfills.
The HD Apple TV has an interesting use in schools here in Germany. Schools buy them in combo with projectors and safe like 10-20€ per room. Since schools are tight on money its worth it.
I believe that the reason why they keep selling those outdated products is for the customers who are viewing their website will see the newer ones as a better deal. Which then will make them want to buy the new one more. It’s better than just seeing one product, you get to compare the products which will make you buy the better product more. It’s there intentionally just to make the newer ones look better, to push the customers to buy the newer ones that feels more like a better deal. #Marketing
This. "This Is" even pointed it out before. They scale the prices of their products to give you this feeling. Oh, if I spend only so and so more I can afford this.... Oh wait... for only a tiny bit more I can get something even better... and so on. I still find it funny that people dont care that children make their products in foreign countries for cheaper production costs yet whatever, its cheaper right? Who cares if children are getting fucked so you get your discount on their shitty products
I think technically the oldest product they still sell on their store is the “Apple iPhone TTY Adapter” which is pictured on their website with an iPhone 3G(?)
Selling headphones, keyboards and adaptors are fine, however the Apple Watch Series 3 should have been replaced a long time ago. It’s missing so many features compared with the other Watch.
I have the AppleTV HD but only because it was included for "free" with my internet package and didn't want to bother spending money on the nicer one lol
Disclosure: I don’t play consoles at all I think that Apple sells the duelsense instead of the xbox controller because it fits their theme better at the end of the day, xbox just doesn’t cut it for apple’s aesthetic.
Apple was dumb to do that, they could have chosen Sony’s route like the way they did Walkman. A chip upgrade as well as adopting of 4.7 inch design , high quality audio jack and adoption of better quality speakers besides doubling down on storage; some products should be kept aside for enthusiasts
@@bandito241 who was buying the ipod touch before it was discontinued?? Not many people. Versus, if they market it as an enthusiast product (give it some more battery, more storage, same DAC as the macbook pro) it would SELL.
@@sweggemen42069 nobody was buying it. That’s the point. That’s why it was discontinued. And making the changes you stated wouldn’t helped. The cheaper iPad and the iPhone SE replaced this product, like it or not. I think most parents are buying their kids iPads if I am not mistaken, as their toys.
Apple would be an idiot to sell a niche product like the Sony Walkman simply because they walkman is a walking man from the dead just like the iPod. Neither of them are suitable in this smartphone era.
I am surprised they are still selling the series 3 around 2 to 3 years ago it would make sense to buy one but now it seems too expensive for the lack of features and speed you can probably buy an amazfit watch which is probably better in every way cuz lot of the tech since then has become cheaper to produce
About the magic keyboard I hate the fact that it doesn't have backlight for the cost, like it's stupid expensive for not having a backlight, I got a keychronic mechnacial keyboard for less money and it has RGB backlight! And the thing is in my setup, I really really really need the backlight
I actually kinda like the wired earpods... Do they sounds amazing? Absolutely not. But they're perfect for work because they're light, comfortable and I don't need to worry about charging them. Would I buy them if I didn't already have them from old iPhones? Probably not, but they suit my needs just fine
Ya that's the thing, for an iPhone specifically because it doesn't have a 3.5 mm headjack, the lightning earpods are a good pair of emergency earphones. They honestly sound ok for music, and way more than decent for watching youtube or netflix. I personally have an android phone with 3.5 mm headjack, so i love using my sony wired earphones with it as they have silicon tips and stay in my ear quite well (along with mic and action button which are both pretty good quality), but if i am switching to an iPhone I lose all my good earphones without using an adapter on it. Wireless isn't really for me as i usually forget to charge them, wired is more convenient to me.
They used to sell the Xbox controller in their stores alongside the DualShock 4 when they added native support, still don’t know why they stopped selling them in all honesty
The Magic Keybord is one of only two physical keyboards that will show up inside the Quest 2 VR environment. That alone means it should continue to exist.
I would beg to disagree with the 3.5mm wired earpods. In my WFH environment and because I still have these even since the 6S Plus, they have been go-to earphones for meetings and calls on my Windows laptop. If buying separately, yeaaaaa it’s overpriced. But if you’re lucky to still own one from the box before the iPhone 7, it’s been really reliable.
Since the pandemic, I see them everywhere in corporate world. I think people buy them for the fact that they're light and comfortable unlike those silicone tips earphone. Also the fact that Apple Store is everywhere so if it's broken you know where to get a new one even when you're on a business trip overseas.
Wikipedia agrees that the SuperDrive is the oldest item still being sold. But that must not be including cables, because you can still buy a 30-pin to USB (or 30 to VGA!!) cable/adapter. 30-pin to usb debuted in 2003(not sure if it was ever modified or not, and not sure when the vga adapter came out). The last product that could even use a 30-pin connection was discontinued 8 years ago. At least the SuperDrive has a use (though I agree, cost is too high for the limited use, throw a Blu-Ray laser in there, along with a usb-c adapter or cable so it can connect to modern macs and it’s appropriate.)
30 pin connector was introduced in 2003 with the 3rd gen iPod and discontinued in 2012 with the iPhone 5 , iPod touch 5th gen, iPod nano 7th gen, iPad 4th gen and iPad mini.
@@aninditabasak7694 correct. The last iPhone model that used it, stopped production in 2014(North America, 2016 in parts of the world), though. That’s where the “8 years ago” comes from. Also, the original model 30-pin used FireWire protocols primarily, not sure if they ever took that out of the spec, or if the FireWire is still buried somewhere in the spec, like if I come across an original model iPod, would a new 30-pin to usb work? Interesting thing to test 😂 (back in the day people talked about walking into a compusa with an iPod and snagging the software from a display mac over the FireWire connection, not sure if anyone ever actually did that, or just a mental exercise in forum posts)
To be fair - the $20 apple earbuds do have better microphones than any other headphone in the price range, and sound way better than any $20 pair of headphones you can find. They're still useful for Macs & iPads. The dirty buds get to stay in my opinion. Insanely portable, sound incredible for the price, and your voice doesn't sound bad, AND can make it through the washer and drier multiple times before giving out. Mine have been through hell for the last 9 months and still kicking.
The Mag Safe Duo is an awesome travel charger. Yeah it should’ve hade fast charging for the watch but the compact footprint and ability to charge both my phone and watch is what I’m looking for in a travel charger.
Can’t imagine any issues but an M1 Mac mini starts at $699 (I got one on sale new for $550!) Intel starts at $1099 Is there something you need on Intel? Intel apps usually work on M1 under Rosetta 2 built in to translate.
Was fully expecting to see the Studio Display on this list, but then looked at the datestamp and realized this came out before many tech media outlets had a chance to drop a review on it lol 😵💫
They still sell a lot of 30 Pin adapters (for some god forsaken reason) and a lot of adapters to standards we just don't use anymore. 30 pin to camera accessories (USB 1.0 I'm pretty sure) and obviously their VGA adapters (not dead port I guess but increasingly disused)
I work in a kitchen and often close. Handling raw chicken and other food stuffs and oil, constantly getting up and down means I don’t want to use my fancy Sony headphones, or my truly wireless earbuds because I don’t want to touch them. So the apple earbuds are perfect because they sound good enough and they’re cheap enough that I don’t care about abusing them
The Magic Mouse is actually amazing when video editing because it easily it the best horizontal scrolling mouse. However for anything else I use a regular mouse.
Remember the Mighty Mouse with the mini scroll ball in the middle? I really enjoyed the horizontal scrolling on that mouse. I think I still have it around somewhere.
Yes the 5 Watt brick is a little ridiculous, BUT it is GREAT if you are wanting to prolong your Batteries' life.... Fast charging kills batteries WAY faster............... I'm on an iPhone 15 Pro Max, and I still rocking the 5 Watt brick. I want my phone to be functional for as long as possible! Honestly these things are still great! And they were right, I am that commenter, because its TRUE!!!!!
I work as a graphic designer and studios love the Magic Mouse and I just don’t get it. I bounce from computer to computer with my cheap Logitech mouse, it’s so much nicer to use.
Nobody loves the magic mouse. Mainly the only people that use it are the ones that feel like they need to have an Apple keyboard and an apple mouse to go with their Apple computer and their apple display.
I have the Apple TV 4K, and don't even use it, it's literally sitting in a box somewhere. I got it when i signed up for Spectrum Cable, I was making payments towards it, but then I moved and had to return the Spectrum equipment but the person at the Spectrum store had no idea what to do about the Apple TV box so she just told me to keep it. So I ended up paying maybe $30 for it in total.
There's some confusion about the magsafe battery pack. The purpose of it is to attach it to your phone so that it has a higher total capacity. It's supposed to be a pseudo-permanent addition, not a charger. The rest of the list is spot on.
I feel sad now cause I got my first Apple Watch for Christmas and it it a series 3, it works really well for just what I need, now I’m upset it’s eventually not gonna have enough storage to even update 😢
many apps no longer work on 4 inch screen. It just igonres tapping because the icons are too small. And battery drains out very quickly on the last gen iPod touch. I thought they would update it though.
I am actually still using the series 3 apple watch 3 years later... I did have the problem updating the OS , but found often if you update through the app on your phone it will work.. would I want a newer Apple watch .. yes.. but this one is still working fine.. is it worth the pricetag they want for it now when newer models are not much more? heck no.. but for what it was when it was new... it was worth it then... not now..
i actually still have an apple watch series 3 that i bought in 2020 and been meaning to upgrade and will probably upgrade to the SE 2022 model soon. I'm using an iPhone 14 Pro Max with a series 3 apple watch. only reason why i kept the watch is i at least still get notifications but yeah storage sucks on it and definately need a huge upgrade
I actually like the cheapest Apple TV because I keep it in a closet and only use it as a HomeKit hub. It works perfectly and there is no point spending extra on something that I don’t even look at.
You can take any DS4 or DualSense controller, put it in pairing mode, and use it on a Mac with no cables or adapter! Great for gaming on it since it works right out of the box.
The thing with the mouse is easily fixed by making it slightly bigger and adding a usb c to the front, and making it usable via usb c and Bluetooth whilst charging
So apple charges you for shit they used to give you with a device? Apple still sells accessories that no longer work with new devices? I knew I didn't like them for good reason..
I work in IT, some colleagues still request a magic mouse stating they can't use anything else. I've tried to convert them to MX Masters... But I give up.
I hate the way it charges but that mouse is great for music mixing and editing/ audio stuff, I’m in college for it and scrolling left and right and just how it is is great. If anyone knows a better option let me know but I love it for what I do
I bought a Apple series 3 last year, I had the storage issue only once(fixed by wiping it clean and then updating) but since then every update has installed without issue soo.., but now it unsupported and just going to be a display piece alongside my iPhone se 2nd gen (i switched back to android)
Yeah, I prefer and use the five watt adapter because I always charge the phone overnight and it slowly charge the phone and the battery health is still at 100% even now after 9 months of use
The thing he said about dvd players can also be said about all their phones etc 😂 Why should you buy their shit if other brands sell products that can do more for less money 😂 +Matt really prefers misplaced sticks? 🤦♂️💀

Probably true. And also the most likely explanation for the Micro-USB/Lightning adapter.
When I worked at Best Buy we still had people buy the USB SuperDrives. Only sold maybe 2 of them a month but still.
That makes sense and only Apple would still charge full price for something that's over 5 years old that never sold

many apps no longer work on 4 inch screen. It just igonres tapping because the icons are too small. And battery drains out very quickly on the last gen iPod touch. I thought they would update it though.
That's a terrible excuse. That is a non issue
I am actually still using the series 3 apple watch 3 years later... I did have the problem updating the OS , but found often if you update through the app on your phone it will work.. would I want a newer Apple watch .. yes.. but this one is still working fine.. is it worth the pricetag they want for it now when newer models are not much more? heck no.. but for what it was when it was new... it was worth it then... not now..
Same I used it until march of 2022
Matt has the best evil laughter lol
I didn't even know you could buy a PS5 controller from Apple, and of course it's the most expensive brand new one that I've seen
best This Is video at least top 3! love it
Wow Matt does a fantastic evil laugh. Kudos Matt!
i actually still have an apple watch series 3 that i bought in 2020 and been meaning to upgrade and will probably upgrade to the SE 2022 model soon. I'm using an iPhone 14 Pro Max with a series 3 apple watch. only reason why i kept the watch is i at least still get notifications but yeah storage sucks on it and definately need a huge upgrade
5:20 That's literally my favorite coffee from Japan.
I actually like the cheapest Apple TV because I keep it in a closet and only use it as a HomeKit hub. It works perfectly and there is no point spending extra on something that I don’t even look at.
fun fact, the dvd drice adapter doesnt even work on the modern macos versions, my macbook on monterey doesnt recognise it as a legitimate device
You’re wrong about the earphones, as an iPod user is very reassuring to know that if/when my pods die, I can get new ones
i actually quite like the lightning standard earpods . they have decent sound, can wear them for hours and have an Excellent microphone on it
I mean, as long as there are still Intel Macs for sale, they need to keep selling the non-Touch ID Magic Keyboard
You can take any DS4 or DualSense controller, put it in pairing mode, and use it on a Mac with no cables or adapter! Great for gaming on it since it works right out of the box.
R.I.P iPod Touch ❌
R.I.P in Peace iPod Touch ✅
The thing with the mouse is easily fixed by making it slightly bigger and adding a usb c to the front, and making it usable via usb c and Bluetooth whilst charging
damn matt's laugh got me crackin'😆
Apple still sells SO-DIMM and full-length DDR4 memory from their site (but you have to use their search function).
🤣 Matt was on a roll today 🤣
Austin, Matt was a great hire for you. I'd like to see the interview video. Maybe a THEN & NOW episode for This Is.
So apple charges you for shit they used to give you with a device?
Apple still sells accessories that no longer work with new devices?
I knew I didn't like them for good reason..
I work in IT, some colleagues still request a magic mouse stating they can't use anything else. I've tried to convert them to MX Masters... But I give up.
Apple really should just discontinue the Magic Mouse and only bother with the Magic Trackpad (which is HEAVILY underrated imo)
Time is a flat circle? Nah. As a wise man on Nickelodeon once said: “ITS SPHERICAL!”
I’ve used my magic mouse for years. Yes, it is annoying when I finally have to charge it. Love it!
Sugar free Red Bull sounds about as good as alcohol free beer, :p
I remember having a relative that had the 11 pro max and the apple charging case. He was also a brain surgeon, but that isnt the point.
I hate the way it charges but that mouse is great for music mixing and editing/ audio stuff, I’m in college for it and scrolling left and right and just how it is is great. If anyone knows a better option let me know but I love it for what I do
I bought a Apple series 3 last year, I had the storage issue only once(fixed by wiping it clean and then updating) but since then every update has installed without issue soo.., but now it unsupported and just going to be a display piece alongside my iPhone se 2nd gen (i switched back to android)
My school has a ton of the disk drives in our yearbook class
I'm getting too distracted by Austin hoodie drip 😵
After the "Are all" line, I got a dental ad
I’ve had my series 3 since the year before last and have never ran into that issue fyi. It’s also the first one that was waterproof.
I am sad. Know why? Because they discontinued the ipod.
There's 2 different kinds of people in the world, those that like offset analog sticks and smart people.
I will never ever buy a little cloth for 20 bucks thats just haha 😆🤣 pro wheels for 700 bucks haha NOPE!! no waay
Yeah, I prefer and use the five watt adapter because I always charge the phone overnight and it slowly charge the phone and the battery health is still at 100% even now after 9 months of use
I’ve got the iPod touch 4th and 7th gen, I’m getting an iPod shuffle 2nd gen, iPod touch 2nd and 3rd gen
I use the magic keyboard Magic Mouse and MagSafe duo every day and love them
The thing he said about dvd players can also be said about all their phones etc 😂
Why should you buy their shit if other brands sell products that can do more for less money 😂
+Matt really prefers misplaced sticks? 🤦♂️💀
