Apple Music 404 Not Found

I can't believe no one I've seen has called out the secret game! Go to Settings>About and then hold the center button for 5 seconds. I used to play so much of this bricks game in college when procrastinating from studying in the library.

Really is heartbreaking that the click wheel is such an incredible and satisfying user interface but technology has evolved such that we have no need for it anymore.

I chuckle knowing that somewhere in Apple there is an SRE or engineer who is getting paged for elevated 404 rates, and has to silence the pages hoping that no real missing page issue crops up while we all hit this page. :)

It's kind of nice seeing Apple get a tad whimsical with things like this. We don't really get that side of the company very often.

It's really cute. I wonder if we'll see a significant market for plain MP3 players with the whole digital detox fad lining up with the nostalgia. There's already a lot of people buying refurb and bluetooth-modded modded ipod classics.

Hilariously, I can't load this in Safari, because it auto-redirects to the Apple Music app for that link, with no way to prevent it.

Pretty cool in other browsers, though.

If they had a better sense of humor, the only U2 songs on the device would be from Songs of Innocence [1].
