As our chart illustrates, iPod accounted for as much as 40 percent of the company’s revenue in 2006, the year before the first iPhone was released. The first iPod jumpstarted the rise of digital music and quickly became Apple’s hit product.
“With iPod, listening to music will never be the same again,” Jobs added and right he was. “With iPod, Apple has invented a whole new category of digital music player that lets you put your entire music collection in your pocket and listen to it wherever you go,” Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO at the time, said when the first iPod was introduced in October 2001. The iPod touch has been the last iPod standing ever since Apple discontinued the iPod Shuffle and iPod Nano in 2017. That means Apple will no longer make the iPod touch, which will, however, remain available until it eventually runs out of stock. More than 20 years after Apple introduced the first iPod, the company officially discontinued its iconic line of portable music players on May 10, 2022.
