🗯 I had predicted the death of the iPod 22 years back 🗯
Unfortunately, it was my worst prediction 😀
Apple came up with a stunning yet boxy device that was easy to use but tough to fill with music. iTunes was a nightmare to use and there were already many portable MP3 players out in the market. Plus the iPod was expensive and you couldn't put pirated music on it. I had predicted then that, like quite a few other Apple failures like the Newton and Apple Macintosh Portable, the iPod too would fail. Of course, we all know how successful the iPod went on to become, how it redefined how we source and listen to music.
And I obviously got a lot of egg on my face :)
Now 22 years later, my prediction has come true. The iPod is being laid to rest.
That's my iPod nostalgia story. What's yours?
How many of you even knew that the iPod was still selling?
How many of you have owned or used an iPod in the last 22 years?
Which was your favourite model?
