In 2009, Apple experimented with an iPod built for mobile gaming with a second Click Wheel used for control inputs. It was canned after an engineer showed Jobs and he struggled to complete a game of Tetris due to Click Wheel drift.

The MacBook Neo was originally planned to accompany the MacBook and the MacBook Pro in 2006 as a 12-inch entry model, however the processor limitations resulted it being shelved. That is, until 20 years later when Apple Silicon finally made it possible.

Due to rising NAND prices, Apple takes inspiration from the original MacBook Air and ships the M5 generation of MacBooks with iPod hard drives instead of SSDs. Despite the slower speeds, they earned improved iFixit scores due to the better repairability.
