#ipod touch

Apple has recently shuffled three devices onto its vintage and obsolete products list: a sixth-generation iPod touch, a 2015 21.5-inch iMac, and the iPhone 5S. Launched in 2013 that introduced the Apple A7 chipset along with the revolutionary (at the time) Touch ID fingerprint sensor, the 5S is officially considered "obsolete" worldwide.

Joining the 5S in the dustbin are the iPod touch (6th generation) and the late 2015 edition of the 21.5-inch iMac with a Retina 4K display. The sixth-generation iPod touch, released in 2015, was the second-to-last model in the once-ubiquitous music player line. Apple officially discontinued the iPod touch line entirely in 2022, marking the end of an era for portable MP3 players. The music lives on as Apple is set to discontinue its iPod lineup Announced last Tuesday in Apple's Newsroom, it was made apparent that Apple will now be killing off its line of one of its most iconic devices, the iPod. The company announced that its last model, the iPod Touch, will now only be available until supplies last.
