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.

It's a Breakout clone. I mean that's what they're generally called in case you did not already know this.

A piece of lore I never knew.

Digging into it just now, an important distinction I initially missed is that they worked on the original arcade cabinet (all game logic implemented directly in hardware), which predated the 2600 and its software version by several years (by which time they had already founded Apple).

lol. Woz did work on Breakout for Atari (Atari didn't know this). Jobs got most of the money (Woz didn't know this).

It's literally one of the "big prick" items of Job's history, along with disowning his own child.

I saw an interview where someone asked woz about getting screwed out of a lot of the Atari money It was apparently new information to Woz, and he simply deflated a little, and muttered "not again, Steve..."

It was heartbreaking.

		I think you are dramatizing it a bit. Woz says he found out about it from Walter Isaacson's book. https://youtube.com/shorts/MpuPbQ8TY-I

Also, holding down the menu key for a second turns on the "backlight", like the real iPod (for those that don't know).

Though it's cute that it's the 404 page, you can get to the page directly via https://music.apple.com/us/ipod.
