It’s been exactly 20 years since Apple co-founder Steve Jobs unveiled the first iPod at a small event at the Town Hall Hall at the former Infinite Loop headquarters.
1,000 songs in your pocket
If you take a look at Apple’s official website on October 23, 2001, you can see that “Say hello to iPod.” And the original iPod are all pushed out (Wayback Machine).
The original iPod is said to be one of the most important products in Apple’s history, and is known to be the driving force behind the success of Apple, which was on the verge of bankruptcy along with the original iMac.
When Jobs introduced the iPod, many people would remember the moment when he actually took the device out of his pocket, saying, “I can put 1,000 songs in my pocket.”
“With the iPod, Apple has invented a whole new category of digital music players,” Jobs said in a press release. “The iPod will radically change listening to music.”
The current model of the iPod is only the iPod touch, but in anticipation of further development of the device, the concept design of the “iPod 20” commemorating the 20th anniversary has also been released.
