The digital music player will be laid to rest once the iPod Touch sells out.
the iPod Touch, the last remaining iPod, would only be available while supplies last, marking the end of a 20-year era for the dedicated portable music player.
For many, the iPod was the gateway to digital music. But in the same way that it helped kill the CD, the iPod’s days became numbered the moment Steve Jobs stepped on stage in 2007 to reveal the iPhone, which the Apple co-founder described as a combination of a “widescreen iPod with touch controls,” a mobile phone, and an internet communicator.
When it was first revealed by Jobs in 2001, the original iPod was described as a portable hard drive with CD-quality music that let you purchase songs at a low price and store them in your pocket. It’s hard to make that sound revolutionary in today’s world, but it was groundbreaking at a time when people were carrying around CD players, changing out discs to go from one album to another.
The iPod went through countless iterations, giving customers more portable options for using on a run or at the gym, but also larger ones with big screens for easier navigation. With each passing year, Apple whittled down its options by killing off the iPod Nano, iPod Shuffle, and iPod Mini. For the past few years, all that remained was the iPod touch. Now, it too will meet its end.
