Once the dust settled after September presentation, Users will notice something very sad - Apple quietly "killed" iPod Classic, iPod with a single click-wheel. The maximum amount of disk it was 160 GB, which meant about 40,000 of your favorite songs. Music lovers and fans of the device, which has become a legend in the music world, very hard took the news.
However, this is not the first time that Apple quietly removes their old products, after the announcement of new products.
The original Apple earbuds
IPod and iPhone users is very easy to recognize by the characteristic white wires protruding from their ears. Iconic white headphones supplied with portable devices the company ever since the very first iPod, introduced in 2001.
They are slightly updated for many years, "overgrown" additions and improvements. But in 2012, with the release of the iPhone 5, Apple has completely changed the design of complete headphones and gave them a different name - EarPod.
Square iPod nano
iPod nano was introduced in 2005, when Steve Jobs pointed to a small pocket of jeans and asking for what you need it, I took out a miniature iPod. The player passed through many iterations and almost each of them has changed beyond recognition, but the sixth generation was something special. He was equipped with a 1.55-inch touch screen and put on him a special strap, you can turn it into a stunning watch.
In 2012, Apple announced the seventh generation iPod nano, and moved away from the square shape, returning to the classic format of the rectangle, thus sending all the straps and bracelets in a landfill.
Port 30-pin
Cables with proprietary 30-pin connector used for synchronization and charging of mobile Apple devices until they are replaced Lightning cables, which appeared in 2012.
Most comfortable in the new cables was that they had a universal socket, which can be inserted in the device by any party, so that a connection problem in the dark or with erased markings - were behind. At the same time we got the incompatibility problem and the need to replace all existing accessories (of chargers, docks, and other audio systems).
iWeb
iLife suite of applications for Apple computers includes iPhoto and iMovie, GarageBand. In iLife'06 Apple introduced the iWeb, a simple to use application that allows you to easily create websites. iWeb contained numerous branded templates and themes that allow users to select a suitable site for their taste design. And integration with other products iLife has been implemented in it.
It was great, but in 2012, Apple has transferred users to iCloud, «killing" in the transition iWeb. Without the support of left millions of user sites and blogs, decorated in the style of Apple.
32-gigabyte iPhone
The first iPhone with a 32-gigabyte drive was iPhone 3gs. It was the maximum, "younger brothers" had a capacity of 8 and 16 GB. The iPhone 4s appeared the 64-gigabyte version, and users have a choice of 16, 32 or 64 GB. The iPhone 5, as in the iPhone 5s, nothing has changed (except for the iPhone 5c, which had only two versions: 16 and 32 GB).
With the release of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus is, there were 128-gigabyte version, but at the same time, Apple picked up and removed from the line version with 32 GB. Many people from it not in delight.
iPhone 5
In 2013, after the announcement of the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c, Apple discontinued the iPhone 5 release. It was an interesting move, because the earlier the company has always used the previous generation of its smart phones, to fill a budget gap, they are usually sold at a price of $ 99. Instead, Apple holds a "afloat» iPhone 4s, using it for this purpose and completely get rid of the iPhone 5.
For many users, this does not matter much because the iPhone 5c has the same features as the iPhone 5. In fact, it was the same as a smartphone, but in the case of colored polycarbonate and not made of metal.
iPad 2
iPad 2 was released in 2011 and was a huge redesign of first-generation iPad. Users was available two colors (black and white), new covers Smart Cover with a magnetic latch, and debuted on it front-facing camera.
Three years later (this is the life of modern gadgets), Apple discovered that the iPad mini with Retina-display, which was sold at the same price ($ 399), has a much greater demand and sent iPad 2 on retire.
iPad 3
iPad 3 (or the New iPad, as called by Apple) suffered even more sad fate - he was released in March of 2012, but after some months (th October 2012), it was quickly removed from production and replaced with the new iPad 4 and iPad mini. This happy, not all users.
MacBook
Oh, those beautiful MacBook in white polycarbonate body. Introduced in 2006, they occupied the budget niche Apple laptop family. They were aimed at the home user segment, as well as education - teachers, students and pupils.
After launching Air line in 2011, Apple dropped support for conventional white MacBook, but still sold them for school. Later, in 2012, their production was stopped completely.
Aperture and iPhoto
After the developer conference, held this year, Apple announced that iPhoto closes and stops the development of Aperture. Instead, the company intends to focus on a comprehensive photo tool with a simple name Photo.
Needless to say, both were dissatisfied with the professionals who worked for years with the Aperture?
iPod Classic
iPod Classic, which debuted a few months after the launch of the first iPhone in 2007, was the only player companies that used click-wheel. In the "top of the range" of its 160-gigabyte hard drive can hold up to 40,000 songs.
But his time is up, too. After the presentation of iPhone 6, attentive Apple fans have noticed that the iPod Classic is no longer available for purchase, and its profile is completely "drank" from the official website.
Apple in its history made a lot of good products. Some of them have survived to the present day, others long gone. The company is moving forward on the path of progress, and "taking" we have some product that always fills the void that appears something others, yet sometimes we are sad for the good old devices that pleased us in past years, and which are associated with warm memories.
For example, I have this iPod nano 5g - the most convenient, in my opinion, the compact iPod. And on what device or Apple product miss you, dear readers? Tell us about it in the comments!
