Apple has discontinued the iPod after 2 decades. Twitter is filled with nostalgia

The Apple iPod was launched in 2001.

It’s the end of an era today as Apple decided to discontinue the iPod after two decades of revolutionizing music.

The launch of the iPod 20 years ago was just the beginning of Apple’s meteoric rise to becoming the tech giant it is today.

But with online music streaming platforms and smart phones with ample storage space, the iPod slowly became eclipsed.

Apple, in its blog, announced that the iPod Touch, the only version of the player still in circulation, will be available till stocks last.

Twitter bid an emotional goodbye to the iPod with nostalgic posts.

I've had my ipod classic since 2006. Last year it finally stopped working so I replaced the very scratched up face, the battery and replaced the HDD with an SD card adapter. Now a full charge lasts a month with daily use and it holds almost 500GB of music. I love this thing pic.twitter.com/pl9f1HPnz1
