RIP to the iPod.
1. Yesterday, Apple announced that they were discontinuing their last iPod product, the iPod Touch.
Scott Gries / Getty Images5. Everyone either had one or wanted one…
Marcel Thomas / FilmMagic / Getty Images6. …and you were really proud of that thing.
Gregory Pace / FilmMagic / Getty Images7. I mean, just look how happy Rihanna is posing with one!
Mychal Watts / Getty Images8. For background, the iPod launched in 2001.
Getty Images9. The first iPod could hold up to 1,000 songs, which was 980 more than a standard burned CD could hold.
Justin Sullivan / Getty Images10. It had a grip on tweens unlike any other piece of technology.
Medianews Group / MediaNews Group via Getty Images11. I remember being so jealous of anyone who had one. That thing was a million times better than my janky CD player.
Jeff Hutchens / Getty Images12. Remember: This was back when you had an iPod and a phone.
Medianews Group / MediaNews Group via Getty Images13. You had to fit both in your pockets.
David Paul Morris / Getty Images14. Celebs were just as intrigued with them as us plebes.
Justin Sullivan / Getty Images15. From Madonna…
C. Uncle / FilmMagic / Getty Images16. …to Matthew McConaughey…
Jean Baptiste Lacroix / WireImage / Getty Images17. …to Lil Jon…
Jamie Mccarthy / WireImage / Getty Images18. …to Paris Hilton, with her bedazzled one.
Jamie Mccarthy / WireImage / Getty Images19. It was the piece of technology EVERYONE needed.
Chris Haston / WireImage20. Like you felt naked without it.
Chris Haston / WireImage / Getty Images21. The iPod Mini was my personal favorite.
Justin Sullivan / Getty Images22. It could fit in your hand.
Justin Sullivan / Getty Images23. It was also really well made, like it had good weight.
Justin Sullivan / Getty Images24. One of the most revolutionary upgrades was when the iPod started supporting video.
Justin Sullivan / Getty Images25. Now you could watch whole movies and TV shows on a teeny, tiny screen.
The Age / Fairfax Media via Getty Images26. So fun!
Scott Barbour / Getty Images27. Also, I can literally hear that spin wheel. The scrolling noise was like my first experience with ASMR. It was so satisfying.
Cate Gillon / Getty Images28. There were so many iPod accessories.
Justin Sullivan / Getty Images29. You had the iHome speaker.
Justin Sullivan / Getty Images30. The arm bands.
Steve Finn / Getty Images31. And my personal favorite, these adorable socks.
Justin Sullivan / Getty Images32. Every Apple event was super exciting because there was always an update to the iPod line.
Justin Sullivan / Getty Images33. Steve Jobs would go up there and unveil the new model.
Justin Sullivan / Getty Images34. They were always innovating.
Cate Gillon / Getty Images35. And they were always getting smaller.
Mario Tama / Getty Images36. I almost completely forgot about that one people wore around their necks.
Justin Sullivan / Getty Images37. Also, remember the U2 one? That was a thing.
Tim Mosenfelder / Getty Images38. The ads were equally iconic.
Justin Sullivan / Getty Images39. Remember this one?
Justin Sullivan / Getty Images40. And this one?
Justin Sullivan / Getty Images41. Truly a legendary piece of advertising.
Justin Sullivan / Getty Images42. Basically, just wanted to say RIP to the iPod.
Ramin Talaie / Corbis via Getty Images43. What a time to be alive.
Gareth Cattermole / Getty Images44. And let’s pour one out for anyone who got one of these iPod toilet paper dock things. What a mistake.
