iPod Touch
The iPod Touch is the descendant of the iPod family. The first-generation iPod touch was launched in 2007, when the iPhone was released, and it emerged as a cheap alternative to those who wanted to experience iOS devices. The series has been regularly updated over the years, but Apple's focus shifted as the iPhone grew in popularity.
The spirit of the iPod is still alive, and its music experience has been incorporated into iPhone, Apple Watch, HomePod mini, Mac, and iPad products. Apple Music delivers industry-leading, high-quality music with spatial audio, giving users a great way to enjoy, discover, and experience music. “
On the other hand, through the music streaming service Apple Music, Apple's music experience has a wider coverage and also supports non-Apple devices, such as Android phones and tablets, and smart TVs from mainstream manufacturers.
Over the years, the iPod line has expanded several times with the addition of products like the iPod shuffle, iPod nano, iPod classic, and iPod touch, but then contracted several times after the iPhone. It can be said that after the appearance of the iPhone, the iPod is destined to be the one to be replaced. It has persisted for more than 20 years, which is very rare for an electronic product.
