Apple’s iPod helped revolutionize the music industry when it was introduced more than two decades ago. Now, music fans will soon bid adieu to the portable player.
“If we didn’t do the iPod, the iPhone wouldn’t have come out,” Tony Fadell, a former Apple senior vice president who is credited with inventing the iPod, said. “The iPod brought us confidence. It brought Steve confidence that we could do something outside of the map and that we could actually continue to innovate in new areas.”
IPhones are now equipped with music streaming, advanced cameras, maps with GPS navigation and many more functions, all factors that contributed to the iPod’s obsolescence. “For me, when I got the first iPod Mini, I just remember thinking like this is the coolest thing,” he said, recalling how before his iPod, he played music on a CD player that would hang out of his sweatshirt pocket. “There was nothing better than an iPod to me.”
