The iPod helped to change the music industry after it was announced in 2001. Now the last of the company’s portable music players is coming to an end.
The tech giant’s original iPod, introduced on Oct. 23, 2001, was the first MP3 player to deliver what was then an unprecedented 1,000 songs (!) into a compact, portable device. Since then, Apple has introduced a variety of iPod models.
Apple iPod Touch is the only model available in the market and is priced at Rs 19,600 in India. It comes in 32GB, 128GB and 256GB storage models and six colours – Space Grey, Silver, Pink, Blue, Gold and PRODUCT RED.
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 the 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.
Apple enthusiasts can still buy the iPod Touch (7th Gen) in Apple Stores and at authorised retail shops but it will be only till stocks last.
