When Was the Last iPod Made
Apple discontinued the last iPod models in 2022. The iPod Touch (7th generation), introduced in 2019, was the final iPod product sold by Apple. The iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle were discontinued earlier, in 2017.
Final iPod Model and Features
The iPod Touch 7th generation featured a 4-inch Retina display, an A10 Fusion chip, and support for augmented reality apps. It was positioned as a portable media player and gaming device without cellular connectivity.
Why Apple Stopped Making the iPod
Apple shifted focus to the iPhone, which replaced most iPod functions. Streaming services and integrated smartphone features reduced demand for standalone music players. The company officially removed the iPod category from its website in 2022.
