What if... the iPod lineup existed in 2022?

What if Apple had the iPod lineup in 2022?

With Apple discontinuing the iPod lineup once and for all with the iPod touch being announced for sale until all units are gone, I decided to create an alternative universe where the iPod was still a strong segment in Apple's product stack.

* iPod touch: taking inspiration from the current iPhone design language, the overall shape is inspired by the iPhone 13 and features a single poke-hole camera rather than a notch.
* iPod classic: more of a stylistic choice, but this blends the current Apple lineup design with the first-generation iPod. If Apple can go throwback for their current line of MacBook Pros, then they can with an iPod classic in this alternate universe
* iPod nano: the Apple watch and 6th gen iPod nano can finally co-exist together, silmmer bezels and updated to support Apple Music.
* iPod shuffle: this is the iPod I would re-do in another go-around, reusing the nano's general body would be a measure to drive cost down, but if I wanted to approach this like 2022 Apple, the clickwheel would not be here and would be replaced by a Siri button, and utilize the Apple Music Voice plan.
