Câu 11

1. The iPod was a series of portable media players and multi-purpose devices made by Apple. The first iPod came out in November 2001, ten months after Apple released iTunes. By 2012, Apple had sold around 350 million iPods. However, the product line was discontinued on May 10, 2022, marking the end of the longest-running Apple brand.

2. Before the iPod, portable MP3 players have existed since 1997, but Apple found them too large and hard to use. For smaller ones, they had limited memory, which isn't convenient. Apple decided to create a new MP3 player to fix these problems. The name "iPod" was suggested by Vinnie Chieco, a freelance copywriter. He was inspired by the line "Open the pod bay doors, Hal" from the sci-fi movie “2001: A Space Odyssey”, comparing the iPod to the pods on a spaceship.

3. The iPod was seen as a game-changer for portable audio players. The iPod also played a big role in changing the music industry, as it allowed people to listen to individual songs rather than a whole album, which hastened the end of the album era in pop music.
