      You can sell out on anything, no matter how unpopular it is, if you don’t make enough of them. How many of these things did they actually make?

      For those not hallucinating, the headline and article says “discontinued”. Not “sold out”.

      Apple does not discontinue products that are popular. The obvious conclusion is that nobody wanted this bullshit.
