The iPod touch is being discontinued by Apple. While stocks last, the firm says it will remain available to buy.

It was updated in 2019.

The MP3 player could hold up to 1,000 tracks. There are more than 90 million songs available on Apple Music.

It was designed by Tony Fadell.

The senior vice president of worldwide marketing at Apple said the device defined how music is discovered, listened to and shared.

Ben Wood, chief analyst at CCS Insight, said that it was inevitable that the iPod would be replaced by the iPhone.

He said that Apple knew that the beginning of the end of the iPod would be marked by the creation of the iPhone.

It is amazing that the iPod has been around for 15 years.

Carolina Milanesi from Creative Strategies said that the decline of iPod sales was connected to the rise of iPhone sales.

She said that the demise of the iPod was the best example of Apple not being concerned about cannibalising its own products.

The iPod was not the first mp3 player on the market, but that unique Apple design proved to be the push digital music needed to start to entice people away from CD and cassette players.

After the launch of the iPod, it was able to make money by selling legitimate downloads.

Apple was in a market dominated by Windows PCs.

Steve jobs introduced it on stage at an event in 2001.

He said that with iPod, listening to music will never be the same again. He was correct in many ways.
