Description

The iPod was unveiled by Steve Jobs on October 23, 2001, as a portable digital music player with a 5 GB hard drive that could hold 1,000 songs. Developed in less than a year by a team led by Jon Rubinstein and Tony Fadell, the device featured a revolutionary scroll wheel interface and a FireWire connection for fast music transfer. The iPod went on to dominate the digital music player market, with an estimated 450 million units sold over its 21-year lifespan before being discontinued in 2022.
