Apple have announced that they are stopping production on iPod

Apple have announced that after 20 years, the iPod is coming to the end of its life, as the music app on iPhone, inside of Mac devices, iPads and even HomePods has made it quite redundant.

Apple have plenty of iPod touch units around, but once they are sold out, that is it, there will be no more.

“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,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “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. And Apple Music delivers industry-leading sound quality with support for Spatial Audio — there’s no better way to enjoy, discover and experience music.”

If you want to buy one, for some random reason, you can do so direct from Apple, or check out your preferred retailer that sells Apple hardware. For laughs though, check out the original iPod commercial for the USA.
