Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Apple to discontinue the iPod after 21 years
Many mobile music listeners have used iPods for some time, a series of portable media players and multi-purpose mobile devices designed and marketed by Apple Inc. It revolutionized how people listened to music. Before iPod, mobile listeners had used Walkman cassette players, portable CD players, and MP players. The big difference from them is that iPod is a mobile data storage device using hard drives, micro-drives, or flash memory depending on the model. When it was first introduced in 2001, Steve Jobs, then Apple’s CEO, said listening to music would never be the same again. Indeed, music started to be sold by title and copyright rather than in the media. However, as smartphones became more popular and capable, people started to listen to music from the all-in-one device instead of the iPod. In fact, Apple knew that transition would occur when it introduced the first iPhone in 2007. 15 years later, Apple finally announced discontinuing this iconic music device. Indeed, the birth of the iPhone was the beginning of the end of the iPod.
Enjoy reading the article and remembering what mobile listening device you used to use.
