As Apple discontinues iPods, here’s looking at 6 popular iPods that changed how we grooved to music

New Delhi: Apple has announced the discontinuation of the iPod music streaming device, in a move that will end a 20-year legacy. The Cupertino-based tech giant first launched iPod 20 years ago.

The light-weighted devices killed portable CD players and personal FM radios in a snap, becoming an overnight sensation in the world of music. But nothing lasts forever. And it’s time, we bid farewell to Apple iPods.

1/6

iPod Nano 7

iPod Nano 7 was a budget music listening device which existed along with the iPhone even though they came with basic features -- Bluetooth and impressive storage.

2/6

iPod Classic

iPod Classic was one of the most preferred music listening devices. A generation grew up listening to songs on the now discounted device. It used to come with a decent enough storage to store all the titles in one place.

iPod Mini 1

iPod Mini 1 was also one of the most popular iPods of its time. The palm-sized device used to come in pretty colours and the classic wheel gave iPods the much-loved look to it.

4/6

iPod Touch 7

The Touch 7 (an iPhone without the phone) beats the Nano 6 (a multitouch Shuffle). The Nano 6 just tries a little too hard for its too-small screen. The Touch 7 was Apple's last model before it discontinued the iPod line on May 10, 2022.

iPod Shuffle 1

iPod Shuffle 1 offered a standard USB plug, which was missing from all its peers. The screenless device offered limited storage but had impressive sound quality.

6/6

Apple iPod Touch

Finally, coming to the last iPod in the lot. The device will remain available in India till stocks last. It is available in Space Grey, Silver, Pink, Blue, Gold, and PRODUCT RED, with storage capacities of 32GB, 128GB, and 256GB.
