      ilovedagreenday lol no, not by a long shot. People love to write Steve off as a salesman who sold crappy overpriced products but because he’s such a good salesman and conman people would buy the stuff. But the facts are, Apple ran almost no ads with barely a marketing department. With over a billion Apple devices sold, do you think all those people were watching Steve Jobs talk and were immediately convinced to buy because of his sales pitch? A very low percentage of consumers even bother to watch the WWDC or keynotes Apple puts forth. Truth is, even if Steve didn’t talk at all the devices would’ve sold in similar fashion. Consumers don’t care about nice words and sales pitches, they care about the product being satisfactory so that they’ll buy it again or recommend it to friends. And Apple has the highest customer satisfaction so I guess you’re the idiot here.

      HD video cameras have been around since the 90s and Apple had already added HD H.264 support to quicktime when this was filmed.

    Never understood why this product got so much hate. 15 years later and it is still hands down the best single enclosure stereo I have ever owned and ties with the original iPhone SE as the best Apple product I have had the pleasure of using. Hell, its sound quality arguably even trumps B&W’s many iterations of the luxe Zeppelin!
    Jobs was right about the soundstage disappearing on this: you can’t really tell that the sound is coming out of a single enclosure - proof that the folks at Apple who worked on the tuning of the drivers employed some serious voodoo trickery to make it sound so convincing despite the physical limitations of the chassis.
    Paired with an Airport Express and a mini toslink cable, this speaker is every bit as relevant as all the other speakers that are out there today.

This thing was okay , it sounded great for the bedroom or the small living room, but the price wasn't worth it.

      Wasn't that because of the file sharing applications of the early 2000s like Napster, Gnutella, Limewire, etc.? Those popularized 128kbps mp3 files long before Apple got into the music business. Still much better than 64kbps/32kbps wmv or rm files from before then.

    • @DanandJoeMusic
      @DanandJoeMusic 4 года назад

      Yes, very true. But 128kbps just sounds so crappy, especially in those days when they were just rips of CDs, and not separately mastered for iTunes. But to their credit, Apple did adapt to 256 kbps lossy files rather quickly. And inmy opinion, there's no reason not to offer lossless streaming / iTunes downloads at this point. :)

      it's still stereo if you notice there's 3 speakers in the thing i'm sure it's engineered in a way that it will sound stereo even though it's coming from one box but i'm not sure it's going to be better than a real high quality stereo, also even the ipods at that time did not have Bluetooth since i assume Bluetooth was not advanced enough to send high quality audio back then idk but it was definitely not common you would only see Bluetooth on these little mono ear things to use your phone without touching it also the iphone was not out yet so apple had no Bluetooth device up to that point, now i can't say if the hi-fi was good or not since i never heard one in person but from what other people here say they are satisfied with it. Keep in mind the ipod was the most popular mp3 player back then and no phone were really good at playing music also i doubt any mp3 player of that era had Bluetooth so it made no sense to add it back in 2006.

    Not as good an invention as the Ipod, Iphone, or Ipad but pretty good nonetheless. I wonder what Apple will invent next!

      @Me Too Apple doesn't always innovate the new tech, but what they damn sure usually get right is the user interface.

    The only argument to put on $350 was "home stereo quality" but Bose cheap speaker still better than the apple

    I found the deafening silence of the audience depressing. It's too bad that this product didn't get the respect it deserved, especially when (sonically) compared agains the competition. Personally, I feel that this is one of the few times that Jobs minimalism and simplicity worked against sales. And yes, I join all the others here with how much I miss him.
