The End Of iPod: Apple Suddenly Announces Surprise Cancellation ... (Forbes)

It's the end of an era. Today's cancellation of the seventh-generation iPod touch means the iPod range is over.

Apart from the Mac, the iPod is the longest-lasting Apple product, so today’s sudden announcement is a big change. Additionally, the iPod was never updated to add Face ID or an advanced camera, sticking with the four-inch display first seen on the iPhone 5. There’s only one iPod available to buy these days, and that’s the iPod touch.

This is just the latest step in Apple's changes. Yet it upended not just the music experience for audiences, but music creation for artists, and the music industry. For those who weren't around, or who weren't able to afford such a device 21 years ago, try to imagine what it was like to carry clunky CDs or cassette tapes everywhere you went if you wanted a variety in your music.

C'est officiel, Apple abandonne l'iPod touch et tire un trait sur l'iPod (Le Journal du Geek)

Apple vient d'annoncer l'arrêt de la commercialisation de l'iPod touch. La marque à la pomme tourne définitivement la page iPod.

L’arrêt de la commercialisation de l’iPod classic en 2014 avait déjà sonné la fin de l’iPod en tant que tel ; le modèle touch étant plus présenté comme un « cousin » de l’iPhone, sans les fonctions de téléphonie ou de photo. On l’avait un peu oublié ces dernières années, mais l’iPod occupait toujours une petite place sur les étagères d’Apple. Symbole d’une époque révolue, l’iPod va définitivement prendre sa retraite après plus de vingt ans de bons et loyaux services. La fin de l’iPod est logique et le baladeur n’était plus vraiment mis en avant.
