iPod 谢幕，我的青春结束了！【健谈英语】

【头条播报】
More than 20 years ago, Apple introduced a rectangular device called the iPod that could store up to 1,000 songs and fit in your pocket. The gadget was soon a status symbol that changed the way people listened to music. Now, the music has stopped for the iPod, with Apple saying that it is discontinuing the iPod Touch. People can still get their hands on the product, but only as long as supplies last, the company said. Apple had previously discontinued earlier versions of the iPod, such as the iPod Shuffle and iPod Nano, leaving the 2019 iPod touch as the only device in its line of dedicated music players.
