An era has come to an end: Apple unplugged the iPod line

The iPod, which had a serious impact on the 2000s and is considered one of the most important technological gadgets of modern times, finally bids us goodbye. Apple has unplugged the 7th generation iPod Touch, the last member of the iPod.

“The spirit of the iPod will live on in all our products”

Introduced in the 7th generation in 2019, the iPod Touch has an A10 Fusion processor and a 4-inch screen. The end of the road is in sight for this device, which is considered old even for 2019. Apple has announced that it has unplugged the iPod Touch. The company reported that iPod Touch sales will continue until stocks run out. Unplugging the Nano and Shuffle series in 2017, Apple also unplugged the iPod Touch, finally ending the iPod family completely. Apple stated that although iPod devices have come to the end of the road, the spirit of the iPod will continue to live on all Apple devices that play music such as iPhone, iPad and HomePod.

With the smart phone revolution, music player sales had decreased significantly. For a long time, it was always wondered why Apple still continued to sell iPods. It seems that Apple has finally taken the inevitable road. Tony Fadell, one of the developers of the original iPod, in an interview with The Verge, was aware of the fact that the existence of the iPhone is a danger to the entire music player market, including the iPod. Fadell stated that every device made at Steve Jobs’ Apple had to be perfect, so Apple would never turn down features from the iPhone so as not to hurt the iPod.

Thus, iPod, one of Apple’s most important devices, set out for the dusty shelves of history. Although Apple’s iPod sale will end very soon, nostalgia lovers will continue to make projects with the iPod and keep the iPod’s spirit alive for a while. Goodbye iPod, thanks for everything.
