In addition to his Keynote, Apple has removed its Store iPod Classic. From its inception in 2001 to his iPod as offering greater capacity, it marked the history of music players.
It is discreetly that giant iPod bade farewell when updating the Apple Store to make room for news. Overshadowed by announcements of the iPhone 6 (Plus) and the Apple Watch , the latest digital music player from Apple brand has to carry a hard disk takes a well-deserved retirement.
Indeed, if he had changed in 8 years, the iPod Classic was nothing more unless the direct descendant of the first iPod. The suffix "Classic" was not also added that during the release of the sixth and final generation. Over the years, one that will give Apple the front of the stage win feature (color display, playback photos and videos), capacity (5GB iPod for the first and up to 160 GB for the iPod Classic 6G) and benefit changes in design while remaining true to his famous wheel.
However, its decision is not a surprise as the iPod sales fall for several years, we are talking also regularly in the publication of results from Apple. Competition from increasingly versatile smartphones and the ability of growing, the iPod Classic has simply no place on a player market is dying. Only iPod nano with its flash memory, with its small size Shuffle and iPod Touch are resisting the Apple catalog.
However, the end of the iPod offering the largest capacity, ideal for those who like to carry their entire music library or music files uncompressed (the ALAC format we regret FLAC is not supported by the iPod).
Finally, we note in passing that the end of this iPod also causes the end of 30-pin dock connector. The end of an era.
