Why iPods Don't Exist Anymore

Harley said:
I really miss the iPod and wanted to talk about it here. I remember when I was about 10 or 11, my dad gave me a Sony MP3 player he brought back from a trip. Before that, we had things like the Discman. But everything changed when I got my first iPod, the iPod Touch 3rd Gen. It was the first Apple product I ever owned, and it blew my mind. It’s also why I ended up getting a Mac and iPhone later on.

After the 4th Gen, I never bought another iPod, but I still think we could use something like it today. Offline music and videos still matter, and I think an iPod with a touchscreen and some AI features could be great. The iPods had great design, and while things like the Rabbit R1 and Humane AI Pin sound cool, they’re not quite right.

What do you all think?

I still use my iPod because I’ve got a big MP3 collection, but I think I’m in the minority. Most people are happy to just stream their music now.

I use an iPod for my music and nothing else. I have the 5th Gen and I’ll never switch to streaming services!

There are still MP3 players out there, but most people just use their smartphones and stream now.

I bet most people buying those high-end MP3 players aren’t even using MP3s on them.

I like collecting iPods, but I have to admit, my iPhone with its 256GB storage is way more convenient. I don’t have to carry multiple devices, and I can listen to any song on demand with streaming. Still, I do like the feel of an iPod in hand.
