Goodbye iPod

iPod touch fifth generation

Apple has given the definitive goodbye to the iPod after announcing that the only model that resisted sale, the iPod touch, will stop being sold when current stocks run out.

The iPod is already history. What was Apple's best-known device for years, one of its great successes and the dream of many of us who now have gray hair, will no longer be available on the shelves of the Apple Store. is the A Chronicle of a Death Foretold that we have all been waiting for years. The current iPod touch has not been renewed since 2019, and the previous model took 4 years to renew.

The arrival of the iPhone began to cast doubt on the need for a music player like the iPod, especially after Apple's smartphone became so popular and more affordable models arrived. Still, many users still preferred a dedicated music player without having to carry a full smartphone with them. The lace was given by streaming music, since the iPod touch had WiFi connectivity, but not mobile, so to listen to music from your streaming services without a Wi-Fi connection, you had to download it to the device.

For many it was our first Apple device, for what it meant, for its price and for its benefits. I bought my first iPod nano in 2008, and the battery is still holding despite the fact that it has been in the drawer for years and I only recharge it when I get homesick and want to see how its touch wheel works, an element that was the icon Apple for more than a decade. In fact, the iPhone was rumored to include a touch wheel like the iPod. As Apple says, the spirit of the iPod will live on in all Apple devices with which you can listen to music.
