The iPod touch, the last portable audio player marketed by Apple that is still on sale, will cease production and will only be available to consumers while supplies last, the company announced.

“Music has always been part of who we are at Apple, and bringing it to hundreds of millions of users, the way the iPod did, impacted more than just the music industry,” said Greg Joswiak, senior vice president global marketing of the company.

The first iPod was introduced in October 2001, so shortly; With the suspension of its latest model of the music player, it will conclude a long history of almost 21 years of revolution in the field of music mania.

In addition, the iPod touch, which has not been updated since 2019, made it easier for many users to access a cheap and quality product with the iOS operating system. Apart from making calls, the ‘gadget’ is compatible with the same applications as the expensive iPhone, but at a price of 199 dollars and, in addition, without monthly payments to the mobile telephone operator.

“Today, the spirit of the iPod lives on,” Joswiak stressed. “We’ve delivered an incredible music experience across all of our products, from iPhone to Apple Watch and HomePod mini, as well as Mac, iPad and Apple TV,” he said.
