As we all know, Apple products are very popular, and basically every new product launched will be sought after by consumers. But in fact, Apple also has a time to roll over. Some products have been "beaten into the cold palace" by consumers before they are released, and some products have not even had the opportunity to be listed by Apple. Today, our fruit powder home will come to talk to our friends about some of the rollover products launched by Apple in recent years.

At the autumn conference in 2020, in addition to the release of the new iPhone 12 series, Apple also introduced the MagSafe charger and related accessories to the majority of media friends. According to Apple, the MagSafe charger makes wireless charging fast and convenient, and it fits in with the iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 Pro, which greatly improves the speed of wireless charging (up to 15W fast charging).

However, it may be that MagSafe has a higher research and development cost, and the high price of MagSafe accessories is also prohibitive for users. A MagSafe charger sold for 329 yuan, MagSafe double charger is as high as 1049 yuan, and the MagSafe external battery (charging treasure) launched last year was sold to 749 yuan, which was complained by netizens that it was an IQ tax.

MagSafe charger is indeed relatively more convenient than traditional chargers, but also solves many problems encountered by many users in the use of wireless charging, but compared with its high price, users who pursue cost performance may choose to overcome or ignore these differences and use traditional wired chargers.

Talking about AirPods Max, I believe many people have not even said this headset, as the only headset in the AirPods series, AirPods Max combines custom acoustic design, H1 chip and advanced software to support computing audio, through adaptive equalization, active noise reduction, transparency mode and spatial audio to bring a breakthrough listening experience.

Despite the outstanding performance, AirPods Max is far less than AirPods Pro and other little brothers in terms of sales and popularity, on the one hand, because the price of 4399 yuan has dissuaded many users; on the other hand, AirPods Max is too large to carry, and users are more willing to choose small and convenient AirPods Pro or AirPods 1/2/3.

Compared to the previous two released products, the AirPower wireless charging pillow is even more difficult. AirPower is a wireless charging pillow released by Apple in the fall of 2017, a new accessory that can wirelessly charge three Apple products at the same time, and users only need to put the iPhone or other wireless charging device on the mat to charge.

This wireless charger was originally scheduled to be launched in 2018, but later because of heat dissipation and other issues that could not meet the relevant standards set by Apple, it was cancelled by Apple. It's also the only product Apple has ever released but hasn't been released. There are technical problems are not solved on the rush to release, do not know whether Apple is demanding or eager to achieve, doomed AirPower is a failed product.

It's hard to imagine that in 2022, Apple's official website is still selling iPod Touch with similar "MP5" functions. In Jobs's time, the iPod made a great contribution to Apple, which drove CDs off the altar and ushered in a new era of portable digital music. But with the development of smartphones, the iPod also began to decline, followed by the current iPod Touch.

In the post-iPhone era, the positioning of the iPod Touch is also becoming more and more awkward, not only can not make calls, the configuration is also several streets lower than the same generation of iPhones. Take the current latest iPod touch as an example, equipped with an A10 processor, a 4-inch screen, 1136x640 resolution (consistent with the iPhone 5s)... These are all outdated configurations from five or six years ago, who would spend thousands of dollars to buy this thing?

Xiaobian went to Apple's official website in the morning to check it, and found that the home page of the official website has removed the iPod Touch purchase option, if the user wants to buy iPod Touch, he also needs to use the search bar in the upper right corner of the official website to search for "iPod Touch" to go directly to the purchase page, it seems that this product is not far from the day it was removed.

The iPhone series has always been the most popular among Apple products, but the iPhone also has a time to roll over, such as the iPhone 5c released in 2013, its hardware specifications are almost the same as the iPhone 5, but the initial price is as high as 4488 yuan, only 800 yuan worse than the iPhone 5s. Spend more than 800 yuan to have a stronger performance, higher value and support fingerprint unlocking 5s, who still buy 5c?

In addition to the above familiar products, Apple has many products that have been complained about by netizens as failed products, such as Apple's computer Apple III launched on May 19, 1980 due to heat dissipation and hardware problems; apple pippin, a game console developed in the mid-1990s, which was thrown a few streets by competitors; Apple's first handheld apple newton launched in 1993, and macintosh TV, which was removed from the shelves only 4 months after listing ; Anti-human design mouse Hockey Puck released in 1998, etc.:
