R.I.P iPod 2001-2022. 😥
Gone but never forgotten.
We will always keep this music player in our hearts.
😢
yes i love you ipod
i even still have an ipod classic second generation with 20GB to this day
☹️
@@Acycio yeah
iPods are MP3 players while it lasted.
Here commenting on this as of May 10, 2022:
iPod is no longer with us. Apple officially announced the discontinuation of the iPod Touch along with the brand name. We will never forget.
2001-2022
Yes ipod is dead
Wait, What?!
@@vincentsullivan5199 it’s true
But.....why?
@@ashleychanforever not enough ppl bought it
Just me or anyone else here after iPod discontinued announcement?
Yes I’m here
here
Here I am!!!!!

I miss my iPod classic SO much. That thing lasted SO long and it was so reliable. When mine finally died, I could no longer find one to buy except second hand online and I was worried that they wouldn't work.
I just recently got a new iPod touch. I know my phone CAN play music, but i prefer to use my phone's memory for games and photos, not songs! I am dreading the day ipods disappear entirely :(
that day has already come unfortunately, they've been discontinued
@@Jamesquish yeah
Anyway, so what if you have a phone, its YOUR phone, and if YOU DON'T want to use your phone for any reason, then dag nabit that is your right!
the make-a-wish foundation granted
iPods never die, the battery just becomes too old. You take your iPod to get a new battery installed and then it’s good as new. The only problem is that as time goes by the batteries for the iPod become harder to find.
Will forever remember my iPod classic. It died just a few months ago, opened it up, it’s complete toast. Man, good memories.
probably the battery or a bad hard drive
😂😂😂
man i remember my ipod nanos back in the day. that thing was awesome. something that isn't mentioned here: the apple store actually released games for the ipods pre touch.
Wow really?
@@prismiemona yeah i have some on a 3rd Gen Nano somewhere
Good memories. I Had The Nano Gen 1 Than 3
YO WTF
I remember playing sonic the hedgehog on my 3rd Gen!!
Just a brief addition to that intro:
Walkmen were actually pretty small (sizes range but generally around 13 by 7 cm) and the cassettes actually sounded really nice (still use old sound formats as a hobby). Plus, with 90 mines of music per cassette it was quite portable.
BONUS: The sony discman existed for cds
Agree ngl! :D
Then came along the walkman B E A N
I got an old Walkman MP3 player (in competition to the Zune and iPod)
I still have the old iPod Touch and Shuffle and it’s a time traveler-like device for me! I’d wouldn’t give it away but keep it as a memory
i have the iPod Nano 5th generation and the iPod Touch 5th generation. i decided not give them away and i want to keep them as memories too
@@SpongeB00b_is_a_savage I have the 4th gen and I use it for fun,back then this device was so good like it has games,fitness,lock screen and a lot more.When I better think of it it was really good for the time when it was invented
@@quacky5961 i remember the card games and vortex it was really fun when i was bored
I have a ipod touch 2nd gen and a ipod touch fourth gen
Important note: most iPod nanos are affected by battery expansion and for reason are a fire hazard. They were very small which allows no headroom for expansion and causes black spots on the screen. Swollen batteries were hard to repair on some models because it involves soldering and you have to slide the internals out. Due to this, Apple recalled the first generation of the nano in 2011 and the iPod nano lineup is the most notorious one amongst the iPod community.
THE BLACK SPOT
And they made fun of the note 7
it’s mainly just the 1st gen but most before the 6th gen nano did have this issue
My grandfather bought a 5th gen iPod classic in 2005 I believe. It went from him, to my mom, the to my dad and now to me. 17 years later and still works perfectly, I love having some of my Spotify playlist over there
This big company survived in the past by selling unique and beautifully design MP3s. While smartphone companies at that time are competing with each other. PS. I still get chills and goosebumps when watching Steve's video introducing the 1st iPhone, even to the snippets shown at the end of this video.
Its amazing seeing the difference between the first and latest iphone
I feel like with technology allowing us to make devices like phones multitask really took some life & vibe away from humanity.
Back in the days having an mp3 or a walkman cd player had some vibe and feeling to it.
Like how you can make a playlist on a cd and share it among friends or love ones😍😭
A couple of years ago, my aunt moved from another country. She brought an iPod Nano (the recent one) and I was impressed by this. The songs were just some German podcast that's she is trying to learn German from. As she recently moved to Michigan, she told me to keep it and I was happy. To this day, the iPod feels very valuable to me even though it doesn't have a bunch of features.
Creper*
It was a evolution that started iconic and I really miss it, this was really nostalgic😭😭😭
THIS gives me memories! Before I worked for Apple, I couldn't afford an iPhone, so I bought iPods's and the iPod touch up to the 5th gen and then I got a job offer and my first iPhone was iPhone XS max. I remember the nano and shuffle, the videos are remarkable, they give you really good old memories!
:D

Who's watching this video after apple discontinuing the last iPod 🙂🙂?
Me R.I.P

Me but I have iPod Touch 7th generation
In 2002 I had my first 20GB iPod. Having thousands of CD’s, it was a big deal. My friends all claimed it was too expensive and nothing special…until they used it.
20gb in 2002 haha nice, you had a mind melting amount of storage! I think the first time I ever saw gigabyte memory was when xbox 360 came out
iPod was before windows xp...
iPod Classic, iPod Mini, iPod Nano, iPod Shuffle, iPod Touch. I wish these iPods were never discontinued 😢
Another great video loving the animation and nice to see another apple video.
(I also have an iPod Nano 3rd gen, it does not work but still fun to now know how much it was sold for in those times, Also me and my siblings all had the Ipod touch 5th gen)
"Even today, the 7th generation iPod Touch is still in production"
that didn't age well
Aged like a fine mayonnaise
Man! you are skyrocketing with subs! I subscribed when you were at 30k or something and look at you now going on to a solid 300k!
RIP to one of the greatest products of all time. My childhood thanks you ❤️
Could you please make a vid about the evolution of Maserati I love your evolution vids btw
Great idea
Alfa Romeo birth all Italian Sport race cars...
Me too
But not the Biturbo era
Can you make airpods
evolution
I like that you are covering a variety of brands on this channel . I found your channel through the evolution of Microsoft flight simulator video (it was recently posted back when i watched it) and i subscribed when i saw the videos covering nintendo , playstation and xbox
Cool
It reminded me to my old iPod 🥺
I still use my iPod Touch 4, not as much now due to owning an iPhone. I use my iPod mainly for alarms and occasionally as a backup music device in case my phone runs out of battery (my iphone 6s desperately needs a battery replacement). I have such good childhood memories of playing games and recording funny videos using my iPod. I've owned it since 2012 and it still has not a single crack on the screen. To me it is one of my most valuable possessions.
RIP IPOD
That is why I'm here
@@thetruthstrangerthanfictio954 oh
team bring ipod back
👇
I have a full collection of iPods. Love every single generation
Thank you, Flatlife!
I love this channel very very much. It gives very good and interesting content every time. One of my favourite channels in the entire youtube. Great work. Keep it up. 👌👌👌👍👍👍❤️
My dad bought the 1st gen ipod touch when it first came out and it still turns on and works, but its locked out for around 50 years :/
Why
@@ousmansano21 Because I kinda forgot the password and kept trying to unlock it
@@anonymous_foenonymous7992 just factory reset it if you don’t care about the data on it but I think it’s possible to remove password through some software on your computer. I think it’s only possible on older models so I guess 1st gen will unlock flawlessly. Check on TH-cam or somewhere
@@kubanowakowski3869 well there are pictures of me when I was around 4 years old, I might just take it to a tech place though
@@anonymous_foenonymous7992 sure just do it safe 💜
6:04 OMG AMONGUS
Literally 3 moths after this video the iPod touch was discontinued
Your Channel Is Growing So Much I Subscribe To Your Channel Since You Where At 10K Subscribers Keep Up The Hard Work!
R.i.p. iPod. First tech ever. Loved it. So sad it was discontinued,
I would love to see evolution of VR! Keep up the good work buddy!
uP
why tf are people replying with up
@Mateusinhoyt thanks but this isn't reddit, you can just say yeah or smth, it's fine anyways, ty for agreeing :)
@@randoingss up
Omg thanks! Love your art!
Thank you for this video! I wanted to see an evolution of the iPod
WOW! That's great!!
Man, I love how apple always manages to surprise the audience every time even with just a simple idea: A media player device.
Thank you for posting this
This is awesome I love your videos!!!
I cant believe the iPod is STILL in production!
hope they don’t stop.
The only member left alive is the iPod touch
Aged like milk
iPod has been discontinued now R.I.P I remember getting a gen 6 touch before I was allowed to get an “adult phone” 😅
RIP iPod
2001-2022
You will be missed.
R.I.P iPod 2001-2023 😢 we will forever miss you. I remember using it as my only phone when I was a kid.
Mini discs and MP3 CD Walkmans where both ‘a thing’ post Walkman, pre iPod.
Also you showed some MP3 players that existed before the iPod (like the Creative Labs).
Apple didn’t invent the MP3 player - they just did it far, far better than the competition.
i invented video players called "the mp4".
I used to love the iPod Touch (I had gen 2 and 5) but I was always waiting on a bigger leap before I could upgrade again, as Apple made only small improvements from there on. If they cared about continuing it, they would’ve offered more incentive.
I have get this 7 IPODS. I have a 5th Gen Classic, 1st and 2nd gen Touch. 2 2nd gen nanos, 3rd gen nano and a 6th gen nano
Had my 160gb Classic Video left jn the attic for 10 years, charged it up lastnight, works perfectly, love my pod big time
If you put the 6th gen iPod nano on top of the 4th gen iPod shuffle it’s gonna look like a full iPod
lmao, now that i think of it, that wouldve been a great concept
Even tho they aren’t that used anymore and the iPod Touch 7th generation might be the last one, the iPod was still a unique piece of history from Apple
I don't represent what the ipod touch 7 is all about if you can do the same thing on an iphone.I understand the older models where only mp3 was intended.
@@specterlocators1603 I agree sense the iPod touch has everything the iPhone has expect calling so just buy an iPhone
@@Br00keAC i have new 13
@@specterlocators1603 nice 👍🏼
Update: as of May 10th, 2022 the iPod touch line has been discontinued thus no models are in production anymore
RIP iPod, it's the of an era.
Man this video made me remember my older sister's pink ipod nano back in the day. It was hers but i remember hijacking it when she wasnt using so i could listen to her songs lmao. It was, like, the only viable way for me to listen to music. Someone stole the thing while she was in a birthday party, i remember getting really sad about it. And then after a while i got an ipod touch !! It was awesome and it was my main eletronic device at the time. I had like a crappy phone back then, used only for calls, and did everything else in the ipod with wi fi connection and whatnot. I have so many good memories with this thing. I still have it, and i know it works last i checked, but i dont have the charging cable anymore. Still hold it close to my heart though!! Nowadays i just find it easier to use my phone for music. Which is quite a shame, honestly. I know we're at a point where technology has evolved so much we don't need multiple devices for different things. Im thankful for that i guess. But i just think that things had so much more charm back then. Before smartphones, phones had awesome designs and they dared be creative and fun and different. No phone was like the other. Now everything looks the same. Even the last ipod is just an iphone but it cant make calls, clearly looking the part. Idk. Im venting i guess. I know technology is supposed to be the easiest, best thing it can be. But its so... boring. Idk if its just the bostalgia kicking in, and maybe it is, but i feel like a lot of new technologies simply lack personality. Amyway im gonna stop rambling now lmao.
to think 10 GB and a MP3 Player was for 300$ in 2002...
It took a long time but I'm commenting on an iPod touch 4th gen
7:43 I never realized that was how it started. Can you make an evolution of the Apple Watch next?
I still use my 6th gen iPod Classic due to ITAR regulations at my job. Works like a charm after all these years.
I really like his videos keep up the work
@Flatlife you’re kind of wrong about the iPod classic there was 7 generations. But the 6th and 7th generation looked exactly the same. The difference was coding in the iPod itself. The early 6th GEN iPods. The 7th generation was released around 2009-ISH. The difference between the 6th and 7th GEN is The serial number and for anyone modding an iPod the amount of storage you could hold The 16th only hold up 128gb modified in the early ones. The 7th GEN can hold a lot more when modified due to the coding inside the software. Also the 7th GEN iPod was my first iPod ever. and it was either the s”6th or 7th gen iPod that they added to suffix classic The other iPods were just referenced as full size iPods. Also Apple had a trade-in policy where if your 7th GEN iPod was damaged only the 7th GEN you could get it replaced for a hefty cost of either $250 Canadian or $350 Canadian depending on when you did it.
the fact that ipod touch have a calculator and iPad doesn't
I still have my ipod nano. Ah all the memories :,)
Wow this video is amazing 😍🤩👏
The 2nd gen Shuffle was my first Apple product. I loved it so much I bought an iMac soon after. I was all in from there. It was a gateway drug.
4G iPod touch is what got me into the eco system
Good times
Bought it off a high school classmate for $80
Incredible video about the iPods from 2001 to now
Wow! Amazing video once again
I remember once seeing an iPod nano in person. It was 2014 - 15 and I was like 6 -7 years old. I was traveling with my grandma and aunt in my aunt’s car. I thought it was like a mini phone and I did want one. I didn’t know what it meant, but I remember seeing those app buttons. I still want one to this day, even if it is outdated.
I heard the iPod is getting discontinued. RIP
Great video! I’m surprised that you didn’t talke about the wrist strap on the 5th or 6 gen touches. It might just have been only one of those but it was a feature included.
Finally you made i really request this iPod
Second
Plz do eviloution of ford trucks!!!
Thanks for the memories… had all of’em… still the best music player out there… 👍
I loved this video and as always amazing animations and can u make a evolution of VR headsets.
This video explains why iPod Touch isn't dead yet.
Fun Fact:
iPod Touch = iPhone for kids (nowadays)
It has similar features and specs to the iPhone.
Apple underclocked the CPU from iPod Touch on purpose because of the battery with low capacity (around 1043 mAh).
First, if you see this comment, then you are a legend :D
Congratulations 👏🏻👏🏻🎉🎉
No one cares
@@gheorghenegruta7578 who asked?
Ok
@Gheorghe Negruta nobody cares about you
i love how the thumbnail shows the ipods completely out of order so it could go from smallest to biggest
THANKS!!!
This didn’t age well….
Fantastic Video!!! Thank you!!!!!!
That iPod shuffle 2nd gen bring back great memories..that was my first apple product
man, i love the internet, individual, inform, instruct and inspire pod
I still have my iPod touch :)
My very first apple device was the iPod shuffle nano because someone gave it to me. Then I had the iPod touch 4th gen. Now I have everything else. Wow sad to know they’re being discontinued, but I’d buy a retro version if they come back with it in the future.
Rip iPod
Mum:Time to turn off the 📺
You:Evolotion of iPod 📱
Me:Can I only watch this video?
I loved the 6th Gen Nano! I used it as a watch for years.
Broooo
Evolution of Nokia would be a very good video
Living in a place with unstable electricity, I still use iPods and they are very useful
I just love watches videos about the Ipod. I own an Ipod nano 2nd gen and an Ipod touch 5th gen as of today. but still very nice.
3:51 ‘i’ also stands for ‘intelligence’
I still have my iPod touch 4th gen that I got for Christmas. I recently found it amongst my old childhood things and have since forgotten my passcode. Damn it lol
Exactly, iPod touch 4 is still my daily driver to listen to music and do other activities. I wish Apple were more consistent and supported weather app in iPod. It is there, but not working anymore.
I can’t help but smile every time I see the video of the reveal of the first iphone
