Fifteen years ago on the 23rd of October the world was first introduced to a whole new way of listening to music; it was on that day that we saw the first of many Apple iPods.<\/span><\/p>\n

In honour of the iPod’s 15th birthday we take a look at how far it’s come<\/h2>\n

Back in 2001 the very first iPod cost $399 and featured 5GB of storage space.

It was then that Apple released a version of iTunes that was compatible with Windows, and introduced the very first iTunes Music Store. Apple began\u00a0seeing souring sales for the iPod as users could now purchase their favourite music, sync it with the iPod and get listening all within a few minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n
