End of an era: Apple to discontinue IPod
New York: Smartphone manufacturer Apple has said it will discontinue its music player, the iPod Touch, marking an end to an era of listening music.
When the first iPod was launched in 2001, it could store 1,000 tracks. Today there are more than 90 million songs on Apple's streaming service, reports BBC.
In 2019, Apple had last updated the IPod, a device which had revolutionized the way people listened to music.
“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.”
Customers can purchase iPod touch through apple.com/in,and Apple Authorised Resellers while supplies last, the company announced.
