If you own an iPod, they’re about to become a collectors item

Apple has announced it’s discontinuing the iPod touch, the tech giant’s original music player.

The iconic MP3 player was last updated in 2019 but first launched back in 2001.

The iPod was invented by the same guy who made the iPhone.

Today there are more than 90 million songs available via Apple’s streaming service Apple Music, but people will have to consume their tunes with other Apple products instead.

Many analysts aren’t surprised with the announcement saying it was always inevitable that the iPhone would one day replace the iPod.

That’s because the decline of iPod sales can be connected to the rise of iPhone sales – like the move from digital downloads to streaming.

iPods will still be available until stocks last.

While the fate of TikTok remains uncertain in the U.S.—there is no shortage of possibilities.

Several investors are hoping to benefit from a new federal law that requires TikTok’s China-based parent company to sell the popular platform or face a ban.

This comes after ByteDance and TikTok filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government to block the law from going into effect.

Meanwhile, eight TikTok creators filed their own challenge, arguing the law violates their First Amendment rights to free speech.

But as the saga continues many media outlets are defending the platform.
