Apple discontinued iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle after 12 years
Apple has taken a very bold step towards its iPod music players by discontinuing both iPod Nano and iPad Shuffle.
This is evident when the company deleted the pages of the two devices that can be purchased and recognized through them from its official site, so that the iPod Touch is the only music player available through the store.
This was a predictable step and could even be said it has been delayed because the latest updates to the iPod Nano were in 2012, and with the revolution in mobile phones and smart wearable watches, the need for music and music players was much less than Before.
“Today, we are simplifying our iPod line-up with two models of iPod Touch, now with double the capacity, starting at just $199, and we are discontinuing the iPod Shuffle and iPod Nano,”
the company said in the statement.
Yes, it seems that the iPod Touch is the perfect alternative to the usual iPod, because it not only plays music like previous versions, but has an integrated iOS system enables the owner to run the many applications on the store and the possibility of surfing the Internet as well.

The decision came three years after the iPod Classic was shut down in 2014, and the iPod Touch is the flagship of this category of Apple devices, and is currently available in two editions through the Apple Store starting from $ 199 as the statement said.
The first versions of the iPod were released in 2001, with ads focusing on the ability to carry 1000 music tracks, while iPod Nano and iPad Shuffle were released in 2005 to a smaller size than the iPod Classic.
When the first iPhone released it made the sales of music players almost halve, to stop at the end after more than ten years of work and presence on the battlefield.
