Apple Inc is discontinuing the iPod, for more than 20 years once it became the face of portable music and propelled the company’s dramatic rise to become the world’s largest business.
Apple announced in a blog post on Tuesday that the iPod Touch, the only version of the portable music player still being produced, will be available till supplies last.
Since its launch in 2001, the iPod has battled a slew of rival music players before succumbing to smartphones, online music streaming, and, within Apple’s own ranks, the iPhone’s rise.
Since its conception, the iPod has gone through multiple revisions, each with a scroll wheel, 1,000 song storage capacity, and 10-hour battery life. The iPod Touch, which is still in use today, was launched in 2007, the same year as the iPhone.
