Heh
I assume you mean iPod classic? Not touch?
Problem is that ipods aren't expansible. You'll be playing through the nose for a 128gig iPhone (I work selling phones, about $1100 if you want a 128 6 plus)
And the ipod Classic is disconiued, cost about $700 for a new one. Sound is the greatest from them, not much power, but they use a 30pin connector. Works as a line out to a good portable amp
They are niche players, even the best selling of them do not sell anywhere near the numbers of an iPod Classic even during the year it was discontinued. On top of that 160GB mechanical drives were much cheaper then than 256GB flash costs today, combine that with low volumes and you get massive mark up for those companies to keep profitable. So I am quite happy with the current situation of using cards really.
BTW if you are happy without top notch sound but large storage how about an iPod Touch Classic? I have a 128GB iPhone 6, could store all my music and I wouldn't come near filling it yet I still bought an iBasso DX90 horses for courses I guess.
