History of the iPod

[@frncs.r]

I remember my aunt giving me an original iPod on the Christmas of ‘01 still have it till this day. Very beautifully designed product.

[@jameshall5171]

Wow I never realized there was so much stress involved with the original iPod's development. And to think it's the most important device Apple created. Amazing!

[@jameshall5171]

@Jay Talents Not a fan of Apple? That's cool, I get it. But there's no need to be rude about it.

Excellently executed history! We all miss Steve he was a visionary with regards to consumer electronics and the ipod well it was a benchmark in portable music gadgetry!

[@BeesonsCars]

The iPod was by far the most popular media player. When I was younger, it was seen as cool to have an iPod. Kids would compare them and see who had more storage and who had the better model. The Nano 2G and 3G were super popular. But the iPod Touch was the most popular by far. Everyone wanted or had an “itouch”. They were incredibly common among young people and were definitely a big part of the App Store growing. During elementary and junior high about 70% of kids in my school had an iPod Touch or used to have one and had a smartphone to replace it. They were awesome devices that introduced so many to the Apple ecosystem.

[@racerboy9ify]

Tyler Beeson I agree. I got an IPod shuffle for Christmas and I sold it to put money towards the second generation of IPod Touch. I was one of the first kids in my class to have one. I was in 6th grade at the time. That’s how I got into the ecosystem and I’m not going anywhere

Having even just simple iMovie and the iLife suite on my MacBook in the late 2000s and eagerly 2019s when I was in Jr. High and High school made it much easer for me to do really awesome things for school projects really easily.

[@enzmondo]

I thought you’d do a timeline of all iPod products. Classic, Nano, Shuffle, and Touch. But this is very interesting.

[@SpaceyMcSpacer]

This was Apples best product! I still have my iPod Nano 4th gen and I still use it!!! It really helped my when riding the school bus!!!

it’s not a history of the ipod because it doesn’t tell about every next ipod. please do another vid about all of them!

[@unkn0wnjay]

That’s called Evolution, not history

[@uthmanbaksh3530]

Not only was the iPod revolutionary tech, but it probably helped heal a nation after the tragic events of September 11th, 2001.

[@XbikXBd]

Great video. I just thought you’d go all the way up its history. Not just first production.

Greg does have other videos that show the iPod’s history. Please check them out.

I just discovered your channel last night. I have been binge watching since.

Taajwur Collins I agree... I thought this was going to cover all iPods or iPod “classics” as they were later called...

There’s already a couple other videos on this channel about the history of all the iPods and their evolution. This one is an origin story.

[@hakonaasekristiansen2973]

Great video! Maybe, for another video you can focus on the development and versions of the iPod. That is also an interesting story about how the product adjusts to the market throughout the smartphone-revolution.

[@masterkamen371]

2:04 that is the most early 2000s picture I've ever seen

[@tenchimasake]

iPod to this day is still Apple's greatest achievement. There's alternatives to Macintosh, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, but among MP3 players nothing begins to compare with the perfect usability and design of the iPod, which helped launch Apple to the superstardom that made it America's first publicly-traded trillion-dollar company. I still use iPod for listening to music on the go. Additionally, as referenced in the video, iPod launched in the wake of 9/11, the Anthrax murders and the invasion of Afghanistan, the beginning of the endless "War on Terror", at a time when America's mood was dark and on-edge. iPod was an achievement that reminded everybody to keep living their everyday lives, and of what American technology can do.

[@raresmacovei8382]

Pfft, lol at the hiperbole. Microsoft's Zune was better than the iPod in all ways back in the day.

[@moonlight_oats]

My first apple product was the iPod Touch and I loved it even though now it’s bad it was good enough for me back then

[@Romiedahomie415]

This video was awesome!! I Thanks Greg for another great history Lesson I highly recommend and respect your Chanel for its content and in depth detail I personally myself own the iPod Touch 6th generation in space grey 128 gigabytes but my 1st iPod was the iPod Nano 1st generation 4GB in white in 2005

This was a great bit of history. I like how you spoke a lot about FIREWIRE. I haven't used it much but always wondered about it. I mean Apple had it on their computers till 2012??? I think that's when it went away. Also, the info on the iPod and it's history is wonderful. I knew some of this but not all of it. Have you done one of these on the iPod Touch? Thank you for providing us with wonderful videos.

[@ranchocommodorereef]

What's cool is that the first iPod shipped around the same time as Windows XP

[@Otokichi786]

My first digital music players (MP3) were Creative units with 512KB-2GB capacities. I got my old "person of interest" a 15GB Series 3 iPod, since the iPod Minis had sketchy reputations. I stumbled along with 4-16GB digital music players from Sansa and Philips for a while. Eventually I found a 20GB iPod (Series 4) on eBay, and I had a reason to download iTunes. (I had been using MusicMatch on the desktop PC and Lenovo ThinkPad SL410.

[@themightyavenger1023]

Awesome job! I get a comicsexplained vibe from this

[@rooneye]

I remember getting my first iPod in 2003. I got one because I saw it on 50cents P.I.M.P music video and thought it looked awesome ^_^ The 2003 iPod is still by far the sexiest and best iPod ever made IMO with the redish lighting on the buttons and the touch wheel. Sadly I lost it a couple years later by which time they'd updated the model. Also I had no idea Fostex made Apples earbuds. Their T50RPs are really good, specially when modded.

[@tmutaytay]

Should have used a picture of firewire 400 the original, as thats what the iPod used. You showed firewire 800. Anyway love your videos, huge fan :)

The iPod Touch 6G and iPod Classic 7th Gen (Black), was awesome. And the best.

[@facurojas4477]

The fact that the "iPod" name comes from "Shuttle Pod" from Star Trek is amazing to me

[@janetwoodville3643]

I wish Apple would bring back the iPod Nano. It had a built in FM radio that we could pause, plus it had onboard space. I do have the 6th and 7th Generation. Which is the little square one and the one that looks like an mini iPod touch.

When the phones can do it the job of the touch, why make a lot or tweak them a lot.

[@teacosts]

BloodRider 14 iPod touch sales only take 1% of apples sales. It's not a good idea to bring back something no one's buys anymore you can just get an iPhone SE for $150 more.

[@TimothyRichard12345]

jazzisqueen Actually the SE is even cheaper than the 6th gen.

I was annoyed enough by cheaply built mp3 players that i got in 2004 i think the iPod Mini and daaaamn.... biggest storage ever in that size, a nice, "legendary" click wheel UI and so. Had it for a long time, even upgraded the original 4GB microdrive with a 64GB compact flash card, renewed battery and hell, BEST MP3 PLAYER I EVER OWNED (and is still in working condition, but inside my glass vitrine next to other iPods i collected 2nd hand/broken for the style)

[@WizzRacing]

This was the item that got windows users to look at Apple Products. As they now had iTunes for windows on there desktop...That was the marketing genius.... Then the iPod Audio\Video appeared... You could now watch movies in high resolution. As the dock allowed you to port that video into a TV. Straight out of the iPod. No need for a bulky VCR...And if you notice. The VCR\DVD players are long gone...

I'm making this comment in late 2021... Once again it's amazing to know that younger people who look at the Apple brand today may not even know of an, "iPod" or if they do they dismiss it. Today it's all iPhone and glaring at the screen for TikTok.... I'm never going to get angry at new ways of communicating with people, but I'm going to be disappointed in people who barely look up from their phones when you're trying to show them the history of the technology they literally rely on and they only shrug and go straight back to an App.

[@byakuya98]

Why wouldn’t Apple just phase out their iPod line? The advent of the iPhone pretty much replaced the one notable function of the iPod as an MP3.

[@Stereo6400]

I remember thinking that my iPod was absolutely the best thing in the entire world. When I got my first iPad my mind exploded. I never had seen anything better. (And in the trash my Samsung went.) I remember the days when you had to download music off of your computer..... pff. No Alexa, no _real_ iTunes, nothing. Just CDs, a primitive iTunes and your iPod, which made you the coolest kid on planet earth if anyone saw you with it.

Haha i remember i saw that very 1st iPod 1st gen wayback 2002 on my colleague while we were duty in a hospital... as a music lover i brought my discman and some CDs on my shift... one of my colleague have this white gadget that i have no idea what was that.... when i asked her about it she said it was an MP3 player that can store 1000 songs.. i cant believe on that and i was shocked and wow... coz on that time i still use discman and CDs for playing music and still dont have any idea what was MP3 coz on that time it was not very popular yet.... amazed that thousand of songs in a gadget... My very 1st iPod was the 4th gen non colored 20gb i got wayback 2005.... then shifted to iPod Photo U2 edition 4th gen that was already a colored screen and love the black red color... i skipped the iPod video 5th gen and got the iPod classic 80gb 6th.. when the very 1st iPhone 2G came out in 2007 i sold my very last iPod classic..... after long years having no iPod anymore, i bought again an iPod classic 160gb in 2019 coz i want to have a gadget that is only dedicated for playing music... since most people today use also their mobile for music....
