A few days ago the end of an era was announced, since Apple announced that the production of iPod had reached its conclusion, somewhat harsh news for some followers of the brand. For that reason, we decided to make a mini chronology of the models that were emerging, starting from the classic to the revolutionary touch that everyone knows.
birth of classical
It all started in 2001when Steve Jobs made his device known to the world MP3, in which users could put their favorite songs without the need to use a disk limited to 700 MB. And it is that this first model innovated with 5GB inside, something that would double to 10 GB in a short time, without a doubt a must buy for music lovers.
The evolution of the device was adding interesting things, among them the characteristic wheel to change between songs, the integration of colors, its passage through birth and change to iTunes and of course, the ability to play videos. This type of iPod it went all the way to the sixth generation in 2017, finishing with a maximum storage of 160GB.
Nano was the evolution of the classic
While the classic version of iPod It was at its peak, during the 2004 a cheaper version was created, this in order that everyone had a device within reach. This was called Miniwhich after two generations was renamed to Elder brother. It quickly became the most popular, it could even surpass the classic.
For a long time it was evolving, and along the way a screen was added to include videos, images and other interesting elements. But without a doubt, what people liked the most was the integration of a camera in the year 2009to this the touch capacity was added the following year, culminating its life in generation seven, specifically in the year 2017.
Shuffle was the ultimate portability
Some users found it cumbersome to have a screen on their iPodwhich is why in the year 2005 I arrive shuffle, which was totally dedicated to playing songs and nothing else. Its portability was so efficient that it even took the form of a brooch to fit clothing, a very functional accessory for sports people.
Despite having a tiny size, it could be customized with the different metallic colors to choose from, although many criticized the model for its limited storage space. The capacity reached up to 2 GB of memory, and that led to the model being discontinued in the year 2017, after four generations of existence.
iPod’s pinnacle moment was the Touch
In the year 2007 the fad for touch screens was getting stronger, which is why Manzana was not going to be left behind and created the ipod touchby far the company’s greatest invention next to the iPod. Since this not only allowed to listen to songs and record things, but also could connect to the internet and download applications.
With the passing of its generations, the screen had more sensitivity, a camera was included and even the way to make video calls on social networks such as Facebook and even in his own face time. In addition, it finally surpassed the classic model in terms of storage memory, filling it up to a maximum of 256 GB.
Despite having become a kind of brother to the iPhone most current for 2019 (Model 7), just the seventh generation of Touch came to an end with the announcement of Manzana. This means that the family iPod is over to hand over the baton to the company’s own current phone and tablets.
Thank you so much for everything, iPod.
