So what are the chances Apple starts making iPods again? It’s getting more and more traction. It’d absolutely make a profit. The only thing that’d stop them from doing it is that it’d be weird.

MP3 players are commodities now. Anyone who just wants iPod functionality can get it cheap, and there are even upmarket options for audio files with support for things like low impedance headphones that the iPod never supported.
There’s just not enough room in the market for Apple to re-insert themselves.
Also, they’d never ship a product that couldn’t somehow use AppleMusic.
