When Retro Pod started making the round in late December, TikTokers praised the app’s ability to replicate the iPod’s “tactile, bumpy, vibratey feels” that have been lost in the era of music streaming.Videos featuring the app racked up nearly 5 million views, but by the second week of January, viewers started commenting they couldn’t find the app at all.It peaked at number 11 among music apps in the US before it was apparently removed by January 8th.Three years ago, Apple was still selling iPods (even if that last model, the iPod Touch, was basically just an iPhone minus the phone).Between Apple stepping back from the iPod and consumers’ nostalgia for the product, Anslow thinks there is greater need than ever for an app that can turn an iPhone into an iPod."
