After years of wondering, it’s finally been officially confirmed that it’s only a matter of time before it happens. Apple killed the iPod. He communicated this in a press release in which he recalls the story of the music player that turned the industry upside down and remained alive for twenty and a half years.
Apple is clear that killing the iPod doesn’t kill its soul. That soul has spread in the form of music players on Macs, iPhones, iPads, Apple TVs, and HomePod minis, all embroidered with the Apple Music experience. “The Spirit of the iPod Lives On”says global vice president of marketing at Apple Greg Joswiak.
The change is already reflected on Apple’s Spanish site with a notice: “only while supplies last”
What will happen now? Well, the iPod touch, the last officially released iPod, will no longer be manufactured. And therefore will stop selling forever once stock is sold out. This change has already been reflected around the world, with notices even on Apple’s Spanish website.
Collectors, now is your time. If you want one of the last iPod touches on sale in 2022, now’s the time to grab one before it’s gone. Of course, after a while, will become a collector’s item just like old Macintoshes in hobby houses and museums. Here they complete almost 21 years of history revolutionizing music.
