After years of being outsold by the iPhone, the venerable iPod has taken a big step toward eventual oblivion.
Apple said on Thursday it was discontinuing two of the cheapest iPod models: the nano and shuffle. The two products have been removed from the Apple online store and will vanish from retail locations as well.
Apple demoted the iPod’s placement in its retail stores a couple of years ago, moving the devices to the company’s accessory shelves. The US$149 (NZ$199) nano and US$49 shuffle were last updated with new colours in 2015, but the nano hasn’t been revamped since 2012 while the shuffle hasn’t been redesigned since 2010.
“Today, we are simplifying our iPod lineup with two models of iPod touch now with double the capacity starting at just US$199 and we are discontinuing the iPod shuffle and iPod nano,” Apple said in a statement.
