Apple discontinues its last iPod model

Apple’s iPod, a groundbreaking device that upended the music and electronics industries more than two decades ago, is no more.

The company announced Tuesday that it would discontinue the iPod Touch, the last remnant of a product line that first went on sale in October 2001. The touch-screen model, launched in 2007, will remain on sale until supplies run out.

Apple released dozens of versions of the iPod over the years, but the product was gradually eclipsed by its other devices.
