The iconic MP3 player has been removed from the company's online store.



From Hexus:

After the grand reveal of the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and Apple Watch at Apple's much hyped press conference yesterday, the company has silently removed the original iPod Classic from its iPod product page lineup. Now we are left with just the iPod touch, iPod nano and iPod shuffle to appeal to the shrinking dedicated MP3 player market.

The Click-Wheel controlled music player debuted in 2007 and evolved with some slimming down, click wheel tweaks and aesthetic changes implemented from around 2009. It has been a stolid member of Apple's music player product lineup while other products gradually moved to touchscreen interfaces and iOS. Apple continued to sell it in silver and black, its larger chassis meant that the company was able to push the device as its most voluminous music player, with 160GB of internal storage on a spinning hard drive. The most capacious iPod model now available comes with just 64GB of storage for your music and videos.
