Steve delivered keynotes like a rockstar. This and the 2007 keynotes were so freaking exciting. I was blown away by the reveal of the iPhone in 2007. Everyone was. And much of that was attributed to his excellent, enthusiastic, and above all, passionate, public speaking. To me, that was what set Apple news apart from any other computer news. It wasn't just about numbers and units. It was about new and exciting things made to enhance our lives.
Lol but you can't base the price of songs off the price of the device. You still have to pay for the songs you download on top of the price if the (way overpriced device). I have always hated apple. Back then I was able to download and listen to any song I wanted to for free. Here we are in 2020 and apple is still overpriced garbage.
this is the time when apple is on the brink of bankruptcy then they got a hit on ipod then the rest is history and now they are a trillion dollar company
I love how he's managed to sell a vendor lock-in mechanic (the reliance on macOS, or at least iTunes) as a brilliant feature that's going to greatly improve the user experience, rather than a blatantly obvious trick to kill off the existing competition that was doing just fine up until that point.
Happy 10th Birthday, iPod. Ten years later, still as awesome as ever. Thank you Steve Jobs and the brilliant development teams at Apple for such a wonderful, impacting product.
@@neiltolman7866 Wow, has it really been that long? Haha, I think I remember typing this comment using my Nintendo Wii's browser with my Wii Remote. Man time flies. Happy 20th Birthday, iPod! Still got my 160GB iPod Classic, thankfully still kickin'. 🤙
@Coty K That's what I love, you just can't beat the classics. You buy a song and it'll be with you for quite a long time to come. I even still burn my music to CDs for physical copies and backups. It's entirely worthwhile.
8:31 oh my god lmao, 160kbps very high quality.... So funny nowadays standard for mp3s that you bought is 320kbps which goes up to 20khz and you can hear no compression, and youtube is still 128kbps I think
A 'breakthrough device' that most other electronics companies had already manufactured for years. Don't get me wrong, it was the best one there was, but the 'personal mp3 player' breakthrough happened in the mid-90s.
Andrew Sparkes Yes, everyone knows that. But Apple redesigned it to be an MP3 player people would actually buy and use. Until the iPod, MP3 players were clunky, difficult to use with computers, and most people preferred CDs still. Apple changed all of that, as they have for smartphones and tablets. True, Apple never invented these things. They just made them mainstream.
@@trylikeafool Yep. Spot on. Apple may not have invented anything but they sure as hell reinvented a few product categories. It doesn't matter that they weren't first to do certain things because their versions of these different products were much better than what was already on the market. They played a major role in turning all sorts of things from niche products to mainstream ones.
Jobs was the only guy on earth who could pull off a keynote in comic sans.
its so sad how nobody realizes how that product really changed the music industry
I was born that day
+The Super J damn you're young
Do you have a 3.5mm headphone jack?
Bro no way, me too
@@TheBaseballSource haha blood bros

About 20 years ago

The first iPod was made in 2001. I wasn't born till 2002!

AmaIng how all this stuff is either simple today or just out dated concepts but back then they genuinely were ahead of there time

Was 160kbps MP3 very high quality then?
RIP Steve
Long live the iPod
Who’s watching this because of the discontinuation of the last iPod in the lineup on May 10, 2022?
you literally cant get along without it..man his wording is on point and very literal thats actually what happens now!
We've got itv 1 itv 2 and itv 3 already :D
this is the time when apple is on the brink of bankruptcy then they got a hit on ipod then the rest is history and now they are a trillion dollar company
RIP steve, we will always miss your excellent products
His products exist. You will miss his excellence.
I love how he's managed to sell a vendor lock-in mechanic (the reliance on macOS, or at least iTunes) as a brilliant feature that's going to greatly improve the user experience, rather than a blatantly obvious trick to kill off the existing competition that was doing just fine up until that point.
he actually believed that himself...
Yay,i have an iPod
7:12 Or when the CD gets jumpy after one little bang. :/
Thanks Steve,thanks for making lots of amazing devices

Ipod wasn't thing back then.
Steve jobs change the world he changed the way how we use phone he changed the way we listened to music Steve jobs your awesome :)

Happy 10th Birthday, comment. 🥳

he still wears the same clothes?!
simple wardrobe see
Three days later the PS2 came out in North America.
@d1995a3 yeah but the video the guy presented that he wanted to be in the same class as the hardrive where they were an average of 30cents per song
@sixflags26 and steve going from a chubby aggressive presenter to a skinny (hope he gets well soon) timid nice guy
So flagrant when watching videos as his final few years on earth, lost so much weight... Here is alright but on last video he looks like a skeleton...
half a video
Wow I have the 4th generation iPod and probably getting the 5th for Christmas! And my iPod has 32 gigabyte
His voice and mannerisms here are very Christian Bale
@sixflags26 in 84 when they announced the mac it was a huge stage with a load of people.
@StubbaH Nah, he's just lost a lot of weight after being sick.
@danieleifyable 2001 isnt that much long ago i wouldnt be surprised it was released in 2001
Haha, wow. Still wearing the same exact outfit for every presentation XD
It's crazy, to think they made 5 different generation of iPods in just under 4 years!
@jellyfishslapper Umm... I think this coming Christmas, actually.
He says a CD player costs $75 and plays 15 songs so that equals $5 per song. No it doesn't, a CD costs $10 so that's roughly 65 cents a song.
James Freeman he was talking about the cost of the songs relative to the price of the device not the medium you use to use that device
8:31 oh my god lmao, 160kbps very high quality.... So funny nowadays standard for mp3s that you bought is 320kbps which goes up to 20khz and you can hear no compression, and youtube is still 128kbps I think
And now imagine what you will comment in 20 years about what we had.
wow we are just 9 years ahead of this O_O.. it looks like 30 years old when you see the iphone 4 XD
yvaaar haha now 9 years from this comment, and iPhones have continued to lead the market. Nothing will beat the iPhone 4 in terms of innovative design
Also, what's up with the crowd? Everybody seems so dead and quiet.
Pixelcitizen It was 2001. Apple wasn’t Apple again yet.
that thing would fit in your pocket like a book
lol in 3:13 the mac has i.e. in the dock
lol 20 million dvd players in the US
steve talked a lot faster then in 2011

what happened to 30 cents a song
Before Apple discovered Helvetica.
Look at how small the room was.
Steve Jobs looks so young!
The government happened.
theyve found the recipe.
lol - " what is iPod? "
What's a "DVD?"
Huge WIN!
HUGE WIN
