Apple Discontinues iPod touch

Apple announced today that it has officially discontinued the iPod touch.

Since its introduction over 20 years ago, iPod has captivated users all over the world who love the ability to take their music with them on the go. Today, the experience of taking one’s music library out into the world has been integrated across Apple’s product line — from iPhone and Apple Watch to iPad and Mac — along with access to more than 90 million songs and over 30,000 playlists available via Apple Music.




“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,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “Today, the spirit of iPod lives on. We’ve integrated an incredible music experience across all of our products, from the iPhone to the Apple Watch to HomePod mini, and across Mac, iPad, and Apple TV. And Apple Music delivers industry-leading sound quality with support for spatial audio — there’s no better way to enjoy, discover, and experience music.”

Apple notes that users can enjoy music across a wide range of its devices, including smartphones ranging from the iPhone SE to the iPhone 13 Pro Max, Apple Watch, iPad, and HomePod.

Customers can purchase iPod touch through apple.com, Apple Store locations, and Apple Authorized Resellers while supplies last. Currently, Amazon has the iPod touch (32GB) on sale for $184.99, down from $199.
