I'm a relic iPod user. I looked into buying another one, but they are either sold out or at jacked up prices, or refurbished (which I'm not comfortable with). Unfortunately, I'm pretty invested into Apple in this area, so I'll probably wind up buying an iPhone down the line.The end of an era! Apple discontinues the iPod after 20 years - but insists its 'spirit lives on' in other devices
The Cupertino tech giant has announced it's discontinued the iPod, more than 20 years after the very first one was released, back in October 2001. A spokesperson for the tech giant said the iPod redefined how music is discovered and listened to, and that its spirit lives on. Pictured are various iPod models - the original released in 2001 (left), the iPod Mini range (2004, top right) and the seventh generation iPod Touch (2019, bottom right), the final iPod model ever to be released.

Damn! That's painful!
