I work in audio video and I still come across so many products with iPod docks. It was like every audio/video product sold in that time period came with an iPod dock or it had an external iPod dock accessory.
Last week I was installing a new router and access points at a clients beach house. I opened up their av cabinet and they had 3 different iPod docking products and a few different Sirius XM satellite radio receivers. Everything was plugged in and powered up which I thought was funny. It's probably been 15 years since anyone used those iPod docks or the satellite radio receivers.
I’m sure they have a chunk of subscribers who pay the $30-40/mo rack rates without noticing it that make up a large portion of their revenue. As opposed to people like me who get on chat once a year to threaten to cancel until they lower my price to $6/mo 😂
High end cars have had xm radio as an option since like 2003 I think and if I remember right they did multiple promos where if you bought a car with it equipped they gave you a free radio receiver or something. They've probably had xm in every car since then, so yeah probably paying for and using the subscription, knowing the rich types
