Obviously the first and mythical first model of iPod is no longer available for purchase even though not so long ago since Apple removed it from the market, it was during Apple's keynote in the past 9th September 2014 where we saw disappear "the first model" of these iPods called how: iPod Classic. But we are going to put aside what Apple for reasons of evolution and others eliminates from its product catalog and we are going to congratulate you on 14 years that have been marketing this type of music player.
Apple realized the opportunity to launch a new product during the past year 2000 when digital music players were big and slow or small and useless. These devices in the sight of the late Steve Jobs, had terrible user interfaces and Apple held a special event on October 23, 2001 where Jobs himself showed the new Apple iPod. The first of the iPods caused a major stir in the music sector and the device that had 5GB of capacity cost $ 399.
This first iPod had the FireWire port and it was a shiny silver and black color. Without a doubt, it had nothing to do with the thin iPods that we have on the market, and it measured 4.02 ″ x 2.42 ″ x 0.78 ″ and weighed just under 200 grams. Also at the beginning it should be noted that it was compatible only with Mac. We leave the presentation video made by Steve Jobs himself, which is not wasted and shows us where the Apple company comes from and where it is right now:
All that remains is to congratulate the long history of the iPod and wish you a long life despite the changes in music devices and players. Today they are devices less used by the arrival of powerful smartphones but at the same time they continue to endure the onslaught with notable improvements such as those of the iPod Touch with its own screen, in terms of miniaturization of components as can be seen in the iPod Nano and Shuffle, etc.
