14 DAY TRIAL // Do you remember the iPod classic? Yes, that device that didn't have a touch screen, WiFi, but it used to store a large collection of music. Well, it appears that Apple just killed it. They no longer sell the iPod classic on Apple.com. For a little while you will be able to get it from Amazon and other big retailers, however.
The latest iPod classic was the 7th generation. Amazon sells the 160GB model for less than $330 (€254.84). This device was good for one reason only: the large capacity. But as of next week, Apple will introduce a 128GB iPhone so storing all your music and video on a portable device will not be an issue anymore.
The iPod classic became part of Apple's lineup back in 2011, but with the recent advancements in technology, the device seems a bit too old for this era. You can play audio for about 36 hours or watch videos on the 2.5-inch display for about 6 hours.
The screen was not even close to retina at just 320 x 240 pixels. The iconic design, complete with the click wheel was one of the most innovative ways to navigate a large collection of music back when the device showed up. The iPod lineup currently has the shuffle, nano, and the iPod touch. None of those is still using the 30-pin connector. Apple actually removed all the devices using it, including the iPhone 4S.
Take a look at the promotional video for the first iPod.
