I wish they would have added iPod dock 😢😢
Comment from : lol

Nah, not crazy at all! Now they need a USB-C port sticking up for the upcoming iPhones and current iPads!brOr as another commenter posted, a wireless charger

It would have been awesome to see them actually do this As soon as you dock your iPod, it goes into FairPlay mode and plays music or movies

Should I sell my Mac Mini 2012? It still functions but I worry about the future
Comment from : chris bodrum

excellent video; I would have bought something like this if they put in the production process I would have liked to see how it would have worked out
Comment from : Robin Brzezinska

Cool… my still working iPod classic won’t work on that dock😂
Comment from : Benedict Tam

"Leave a like, get subscribed below" right at the beginning of the video SMH Why do people need to beg for likes and subs like that?? It really annoys me It's like you're forcing us to subscribe No, I will NOT subscribe because you tell me to I will subscribe ONLY if I FEEL like it and ONLY if you are worthy of a subscription And because you tell people to subscribe right at the start of your videos, I won't be subscribing I hate when people so that crap Stop forcing us We will subscribe if we feel like it, not because YOU tell us to I hope you understand and to not pull that crap again Thank you very much I HATE being told what to do
Comment from : PlatinumEagleStudios

The spiritual successor of this would be a wireless charger on the surface of the Mac Studio and Mac Mini
Comment from : Henry Wallace

I’d like to point out “EVT” is actually pretty late in the development cycle, as it’s typically the last or second to last NPI build before the product is handed off and finalized This would have been a massive change to make that late into the product cycle
Comment from : McNibbler

Your apartment looks so nice I wanna buy it off you or be your roomie
Comment from : a single french fry

So your telling us that that's an iPod nano connected to Mac Mini, connected to Apple Cinema Display aka Apple Display MAX?brbrNo wonder that didn't flybrbrJust kidding
Comment from : Carlos Osuna

i've got a iphone smart battery case prototype here it's outside is basically retail but it's running a EVT firmware with all sorts of fun stuff the iphone XS smart battery case still has air power references the case was originally designed to be released with the iphone x

geez just choose a title already
Comment from : John Myers

It is an interesting idea, but I don't see how it would work with most desk layouts that have a Mac Mini in them
Comment from : Katrina Bryce

I think it would have been cool if it was geared towards all iPods
Comment from : Omega Riddler

I don‘t have much to say about the Mac, however, you should make a video about the first gen iPod Nano It‘s my favorite Apple product to date
Comment from : Sashka

We all know this Mac mini is derived from those Kodak Easyshare docks that preceded
Comment from : Joseph Dimos

what an opening stunt!
Comment from : David Daniel Wouters

It'd be cool if they made 30 pin on a 2022 mac
Comment from : St Freja

I bet that exact iPod and that exact Mac mini have met before 🤯
Comment from : Tyler Phalen

Luke, do you have an account on whatsup?
Comment from : Florin Iaru

I don’t know if it is the angle you are recording it at but the notch is slightly off centre and it is really triggering me
Comment from : x_pogboy50

Did you sell the mac mini at cloud 9?
Comment from : psiFellow

Hi Luke Head Up I think there is a hacker that impersonate as you, reply to comments from your fan, and ask your fan to reach out to him via Telegram
Comment from : Cheng Kun Wang

Hi Luke Just want to make sure that I have been talking to you in Telegram I am suspecting that your YouTube channel and Telegram may have been hijacked

And to think Jobs probably interacted with that very mac mini
Comment from : SynthD

If they went USB-C and M1 (or whatever name they pick in the future), they most definitely could go back to this concept! Imagine; you plug your iPhone or iPod into a special dock and it has a Mac OS X desktop (like Samsung DeX, but better) And whenever you need to go, you grab your iPhone or iPod You are literally taking your full desktop with you, so wherever you go you can finish what you were doing Maybe a feature could be made (kind of like remote desktop) to interface with the desktop on the go (Apple Screen Magnifier?) And since iOS is pretty much Mac OS for ARM i-devices, I don't believe it would be too difficult for Apple to handle
Comment from : Mysterious Ghost

Has me wanting to glue a MagSafe stand onto the top of my M1 mini
Comment from : Michael Moy

MacMini1,1 is the intel Mac Mini’s MachineID the G4 Mac Mini had the ID of PowerMac10,1
Comment from : themacintoshnerd

Cool!
Comment from : R-TECH

I'm guessing they decided not to do this because of the MFi program - made for iPod
Comment from : thelifeaquatica

Great video! I definitely think this could have been a good product if the dock could be used on all 30pin connection devices (like say a speaker dock)
Comment from : Keith S

0:00 or a first gen Mac Studio
Comment from : Sean Wiedemer

Make sure you clone that internal hard drive since that OS may have special software to allow that iPod to show up on the desktop
Comment from : David Ticzon

I saw the thumbnail and decided to load the video But I won’t watch it I’m just here to say that the thumbnail is a turn-off I feel insulted when people pose with fake expressions and emotions, especially when the fake emotions being depicted are not even present in the video Wanna hook me? Show an interesting shot of the content of the video Don’t expect me to think, “wow, that guy looks shocked like he just saw aliens land! I wanna feel that too!” especially if you don’t deliver what’s in the thumbnail
Comment from : Zizi Mugen

Interesting Also I'd have seen it if the two were sold together, maybe, or as an option
Comment from : egmccann

Mac mini/Studio with iPhone Mag Safe charging Just putting that idea here
Comment from : Casper S�

Ich finde Ihre Beiträge immer (!) super gut und schaue Ihnen immer gerne zu aber müssen denn alle YouTube sendende ihren Mund öffnen und meinen, dass das mehr Klicks gibt? Ich frage nur für einen Freund 😉
Comment from : Silke Susanne Kemmer

I miss when Apple use to supply the user with a dock when buying an iPod or iPhone in it’s package Good times
Comment from : Bassistking

Idea for a video:brApple machine with the highest "GPU power/prize" factor
Comment from : Filip Wasil

The sticker on the bottom Says MediMac I googled this Very interesting May make for a good future video? Thanks for sharing!
Comment from : Jeff Adams

How did this development sample leak out of the Apple facilities? Usually these things are not allowed to be given out
Comment from : ThinkingBetter

Should have come with available 30pin adapter/s that would allow ANY sized iPod to be docked Duh!
Comment from : Chumba Wumba

I think I like your sponsor messages as much as I like your videos Keep up the good work
Comment from : Darel Crochran

Back in 2005 it would have been easier to sync your iPod by docking it 🧐 It actually would have been cool to charge and update your music on the iPod by docking it to your Mac Silly, but cool 🤓
Comment from : Vid Tech w/Rick

Very Cool!!!😎
Comment from : Vid Tech w/Rick

Great infomercial for caseify!
Comment from : James Jamias

An iPod classic doc on a mac mini would have made this a must have in the mid 00’s
Comment from : Tomino Cabana

They didnt have to make it an iPod nano dock they shouldve just made it a big normal dock port universal, for every iPod
Comment from : Tamay

I have a Tivoli Audio with an old style iPod charger on it Dang good stereo though
Comment from : *

just imagine what happens to precise camera module even with this Casetify case you won't drop your smartphone ever
Comment from : Mv

No he wasn't
Comment from : Graphics Guild

Was this like a hobbyist idea, or something that was ever practically considered? I struggle to come up with a use case (no pun intended) for docking your iPod (or an iPhone of the time) to a Mac Mini
Comment from : Miguel Toledo

Imagine what this could have turned into, a Mac mini that you could dock your iPhone in and have it as a co-processor to boost performance
Comment from : Joe Vose

I’m almost surprised Apple didn’t see it as an opportunity to sell adapters for every different iPod Putting wireless charge on top of the Mac mini today would be cool Just put the iPhone on the Mac
Comment from : werty werrtyson

I miss Steve Jobs… Apple made cool stuffs for nerds when he was around Now it’s just status symbols centric
Comment from : James Latief

hear me outmagsafe wireless charging on top of the mac mini & mac studio
Comment from : myra oluchi

Another reason you are my favorite Fruit company fanboi (fruit fly) - you do things that others don't do and that goes into history of Fruit products Thank you for taking the time to do this I just wasted 5 minutes of my life watching Brownlee do yet another M2 review - he offers nothing compelling But you do Thanks for taking the time and keep up the good work
Comment from : ultraviolet tp

1:20 I don't live in the US How does the case knows how many meters I am about to drop it from ? 😂
Comment from : El Fedora Usado

Oh my God… This video triggered flashbacks of iPod docks… The kind that came with a bunch of plastic adapters to try and fit as many iPod sizes and shapes as they could… Meanwhile Apple was furiously changing the sizes and shapes of the iPod lineup The iPod was actually a great external hard drive you could always opt to have it appear as a disk and I used mine to backup files all the time… so it makes sense for that, but design obsolescence would have been a major problem
Comment from : Matt Pipes

We need more prototype videos
Comment from : Anthony Castro

i love the iPod Dock Mini
Comment from : JamesnLollify

I love the way the CD-to-iPod data conveyer is right there
Comment from : whophd

I literally found my G4 Mac Mini yesterday, and have no idea what I should do with it
Comment from : whophd

One of the advantages of a Mac Mini is it ismini (and fits easily under the monitor or on a small desk organizer) You couldn't do that if it had a iPod doc on top
Comment from : snarkyguy

what’s up with ur roof?
Comment from : Vinny

For when a best budget ecossystem with refurbished/used models?
Comment from : Luís Samúdio

Love it!!!
Comment from : Andrea DePa

Looks more like a MacBook notch to me, with how it’s a little more squared/goes down deeper
Comment from : Halami

I didn't know these were real, I saw an image of it on the internet, but I thought it was fake
Comment from : asadava

Would you rather ugly case or apple care?
Comment from : Polo4413

I wanna see a modern version of this, a MacMini with a Qi charger on top
Comment from : Yash Atishay

I think the primary reason would have been form over function Mac mini can't ft in lot of places with an hanging iPod at the top of it
Comment from : Will Phoenix

I’m a new subscriber and binge watched your channel for 2 weeks straight Like a few hundred episodes Because of your channel I bought a 2012 Mac i7 Mini and tricked it out with 16G RAM, 256 SSD, Big Sur, paired with a 2011 Apple 27” Cinema Display (2560x1440), Apple Magic Keyboard & Mouse for my home office (have new Apple gear at work) Have $400 into this entire setup My son wants to do the same now
