RIP to the iPod
iPods
. Though the company hasn’t been making them like it did during its mid-2000s glory years , it’s noteworthy due to the impact it made during those early file-trading days. It wasn’t the first MP3 player, but it’s easily the most influential.what Greg Joswiak, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing, had to say about the iPod going away:
“Music has always been part of our core at Apple, and bringing it to hundreds of millions of users in the way iPod did impacted more than just the music industry — it also redefined how music is discovered, listened to, and shared. Today, the spirit of iPod lives on. We’ve integrated an incredible music experience across all of our products, from the iPhone to the Apple Watch to HomePod mini, and across Mac, iPad, and Apple TV.
The first iPod was available for purchase in October 2001. The original iPod had a clickwheel to navigate and select what you wanted to listen to. Over the next few years, the first generations of iPods would go away, leading to other editions like the Mini, a video-capable version of the original version, the Shuffle, Nano and eventually the Touch, which was similar to the iPhone.
