Video: The History of the iPod Classic

The video goes through the various models of the iPod Classic, starting with the original from 2001 all the way to the latest in 2014 when the company officially discontinued the line. Hackett highlights improvements seen in various models, including the size increases, design changes and features such as the ability to show photos and play video.

It’s crazy to think that this is the product that truly helped get the smartphone revolution off the ground. Without it, who knows if the iPhone or iPad would be where they are today.
