IPod Classic
iPod Classic is a portable media player created and formerly marketed by Apple Inc.. It was the first of the iPod line and was continued until 2014. The iPod Classic models are known for their distinctive click wheel interface and large storage capacities compared to other iPod models.
History[edit | edit source]
The iPod Classic was first introduced on October 23, 2001, by Steve Jobs at an Apple press event. The device was marketed as a "1000 songs in your pocket," highlighting its large storage capacity. The iPod Classic went through six generations, with the last model being released in September 2009.
Design[edit | edit source]
The iPod Classic's design is characterized by its click wheel interface, which allows users to navigate through menus and control playback using a circular touch-sensitive trackpad. The device also features a monochrome or color display, depending on the model, which displays album art and other media information.
Features[edit | edit source]
The iPod Classic supports a variety of media formats, including MP3, AAC, WAV, and AIFF audio files, as well as JPEG, BMP, GIF, TIFF, and PNG image files. The device also supports video playback on later models. In addition to media playback, the iPod Classic includes features such as a calendar, contacts, and games.
Legacy[edit | edit source]
The iPod Classic was discontinued in 2014, but its influence can still be seen in modern Apple products. The click wheel interface, for example, was a precursor to the touch interfaces used in the iPhone and iPad. The iPod Classic also helped to establish Apple's reputation as a leading innovator in consumer electronics.
