Apple has announced that the iPod Touch, a music player that was warmly hailed for revolutionizing how people listen to music, would be discontinued.

The initial iPod, released in 2001, had a 1,000-track capacity. Apple’s streaming service now has over 90 million songs available.

The iPod Touch was created by the same team that eventually created the iPhone, which swiftly surpassed the iPod in popularity.
The iPod was last updated in 2019.

Various iPod versions have been developed throughout the years, including the Nano and Shuffle, but the iPod Touch was the last to be discontinued in 2007.

Apple said it will be available for purchase “while supplies last.”

iPod users have gone to social media to express their feelings at the news and memories associated with the music players.

To me, the IPOD is the most innovative product of our lifetimes. It led to the changes in the way we communicate, function, and collaborate. It was not 1st in class but it was the most efficient.

Heck of a run IPOD! @Apple

iPod users have resorted to social media to express their feelings over the news. Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled the initial generation of the iPod in 2001, with considerable hoopla and expectation, and dressed in his usual trousers and black turtleneck.

After the invitation for the launch event said, “Hint: It’s not a Mac,” there were rumor’s that the business was going to introduce a new music player. “Everyone’s life revolves around music. Music has always existed. It’ll always be there, “During his hour-long lecture, Jobs stated.

“1,000 tunes in your pocket,” was the major headline for the night.

“Bringing music to hundreds of millions of consumers in the way iPod did influenced more than just the music business – it also transformed how music is found, listened to, and shared,” Apple said in a statement. “Today, the spirit of iPod lives on” through the company’s other music-enabled devices.
