After more than 20 years on the market, Apple is finally discontinuing the iPod, with the current 7th Generation Touch the last model to ever be released.
The tech giant announced the iPod's discontinuation on its website, saying that the MP3 player is essentially redundant amid Apple's range of other products that are capable of playing music, including the iPhone, iPad, and HomePod Mini, to name a few.
The iPod Touch will be available at several retailers as well as Apple's direct website, while supplies last.

“Music has always been part of our core at Apple, and bringing it to hundreds of millions of users in the way iPod did impacted more than just the music industry — it also redefined how music is discovered, listened to, and shared,” Apple Senior VP of Worldwide Marketing Greg Joswiak said in a recent press release.
The first iPod was released in October 2001 and has since gone through 26 different iterations with the most recent model, the seventh generation iPod Touch released on May 28, 2019.
