iPods
Discontinued Apple players
A iPod is a portable music player that was first released by Apple in 2001.
It was the first of its kind and its release marked a watershed in the history of music listening.
The success of the iPod may have been one of the reasons that Apple later developed the iPhone, which has many of the same features as an iPod, in addition to being a phone.
