This is the end of an era for fans of the apple brand music player. The giant announced on Tuesday that it would end production of the iPod, which launched 20 years ago, when “stocks ran out”.
If you want to get your hands on an iPod Touch, the only music player still sold by Apple, you need to act fast.
The very first iPod hit the shelves in 2001. According to Apple, its spirit will live onespecially through other brand devices, such as the iPad, Apple TV, HomePod Mini and iPhone.
The first iPod model primarily served as a music player, as did most of the following models, including the iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle, which were sold until 2017. But the giant began innovating with the iPod Touch in 2007, namely of the iPhone launched the same. years, which added new functions, such as Internet connection, the possibility of downloading applications, taking pictures, etc.
It is also the last model, whose seventh generation was unveiled in 2019, which is still on the market today.
The giant must have also felt the iPod running out of steam, as it hasn’t declared its sales since 2015. It must be said that smart phones can easily replace the walkman these days.
