On May 30, 2013, Apple marked the sale of the 100 millionth iPod touch by launching a new, stripped-down model with a budget price of $229.
The new iPod touch lacked some features of its high-end siblings but had a lower price tag, making it appealing to new customers.
The 2013 iPod touch featured a 4-inch Retina display, dual-core A5 chip, front-facing 1.2-megapixel FaceTime HD camera, and suited for mobile gaming.
Apple discontinued the iPod touch on May 10, 2022, after its significant impact on Apple and the culture, but its influence lives on in the Apple ecosystem.
