FOUND: Rip ipod my magical musical device | Mind Blowing Facts

My first was white, boxy, in a rubbery blue case. My second, silver. My third, pink – and that was a Shuffle, barely the size of my thumb, so it's lost somewhere in the house. If my child finds it, even though he has his own old and cracked Touch model, I'm not sure he'll know what it is. It's the Apple iPod and it's dead. 

Over two decades ago, the first iPod, the portable music player from Apple, was introduced. Apple has announced the last remaining model, the iPod Touch, will be its swan song; it's discontinuing the product. With no new models planned, the iPod Touch will be available for sale only "while supplies last," as The Verge reported.
