It has been over 20 years since the first release of the first generation iPod, and now the end of an era has begun. Just recently Apple announced its discontinuation of the iPod. Apple's iPod was created to store and play music, but now with Apple Music being heavily used and put in iPhone products it would seem that the need for such a product wouldn't make sense.


“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.”


The growth and time spent into developing these products are now visible to the eyes of every Apple consumer. For those of you looking to give the tech one last hurrah, Amazon still has several models of the latest iPod touch in stock, in a variety of colors:


You can pick up a 32GB model in Gold, Blue, Pink, Silver and Space Gray right now for $189.99, which is $10 off its normal price of $199.


This may be one of your last chances to snap up an iPod touch at a discount, especially as all colors and models sold out via Apple just a day after the tech was discontinued. Buyers still may be able to obtain the products through third-party resellers.


The childhood nostalgia these devices bring will be remembered for a lifetime, we are looking forward to what Apple will do now with music going forward.


Take a look of some comments made by Apple Consumers:

"The first thing I got with my first paycheck was an iPod"

"OG iPod nano is the GOAT"

"one of the greatest apple products"

"iPod shuffle was so cool especially for workouts"

"Great things do come to an end always"


So long to one of the G.O.A.T. Apple products.
