I was ready to buy the iPod even if it was launched in its old form as the 5th, 6th, and 7th generation, because I am loyal to this series by virtue of being the first device I owned the Touch 4 from which I learned the technology and its news and love Apple products to the point that I am more interested in the iPod than any other Apple product! I wish it was manufactured, even in the old form, with a relatively old processor, as Apple usually does, and it was terminated without any honoring of it, even though it is the famous device that made Apple a lot of money in its early days. I have 4, 5 and 6 generation devices, and 7! Hey Hasafa, but on this oppressed device after you used to release it with the iPhone every year! It was replaced by a heavy weight iPhone, Apple Watch, HomePod, and iPad, according to Apple, even the Mac was mentioned in the justification for Apple, something close to the iPad and the Mac who hears audios of this size! I only saw all the technical news via the iPod. Back in the days of technology applications, including Zamin, who did not update my device, the 7th generation, because of the favorites in it. Encyclopedia of technology all and will not forget it! I knew Apple was going to abandon it when the word "iPod" was removed from the accessories made for iPhone and iPad! Best iPod Memories!
Indeed, the light weight of the iPod and its small size was one of the most important features… I also started following the technology on the iPod Touch 4 and using the iPhone Islam app!
The iPod Touch 4 still has an Islamic iPhone application and a lot of my favorite articles in it! Good days in every article he comes to open and read!
I am personally touched by this announcement as my first Apple device was the iPod Touch 4 and it was a magical experience. Have you ever owned an iPod? This device is still with my daughter, the first device I bought for her, thank you Dr./ Kareem
❤️
The news is accessible to the emerging audience. Thank you 🤩 iPhone Islam
