Do you remember iPods? For a while, it was selling like crazy and everyone had one. The product, which started its life in 2001, made its last debut in 2019. Over the past 18 years, it has become more than a music player, but it went out of fashion early. But someone must still love him. Because the 16-year-old refurbished iPod models were sold in a hurry recently. Here are the details…
Refurbished 16-year-old iPod models were sold for more than new ones!
With the iPod, released on October 23, 2001, Apple aimed to add a new dimension to products classified as music players. iPods, which first had a small screen and later gained a touch screen and App Store support, became iPhones that no longer made calls in their latest Touch generation.
The last iPod Touch, the 7th generation, appeared in 2019. The product lost its popularity with the iPhone 11 series, which was released at that time. In general, users preferred to buy an iPhone directly instead of buying an iPod. The biggest reason for this was that the device had as many features as a phone but could not be used as a phone.
There are some people who think that the device is obsolete and will not be sold. Yes, this is partially correct. But a former supplier of Apple products showed us that the opposite is true. This retailer brought back to life the second-hand iPod 5th generations it had in its possession. It added a new battery and 128 GB flash storage to all devices. In addition, he also gifted an original Apple synchronization cable and headphones to customers who purchased them.
Stating that the products are from 2007, the supplier says that even though they are old, people have switched to iPods both for nostalgia and to listen to music in high quality. These iPods, which were sold by Apple for 249 dollars in 2007, were sold by the supplier for 349 dollars in 2023. As we mentioned before, the products sold out quickly.
