Apple revives the original iPod as an Apple Music easter egg
Apple Music has an interactive virtual iPod on its 404 page with songs from the early 2000s, appearing as the iPod hits its 25th anniversary.
If you’ve been feeling nostalgic for your old iPod, you can head over to Apple Music’s 404 page to listen to music on a virtual re-creation of the first-generation iPod. The hidden iPod was spotted by users on social media on Friday. It’s appropriately stocked with music from the early 2000s, like Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida” or Gorillaz’s “Feel Good Inc.” The iPod seems to pop up on any non-existent Apple Music page, so you can find it by just adding a string of random letters after the main Apple Music URL. [Media: The iPod is likely an easter egg for the device’s 25th anniversary. Apple announced the original iPod on October 23rd, 2001, for $399. iPods were a core pillar at Apple for 20 years until they were eventually discontinued in 2022, but they’ve been making a comeback over the past few years.
