Apple’s iconic iPod has long been discontinued by the company. But thanks to superfans, iPods aren’t just not dead—they’re getting better than ever. Thanks to renewed interest, more custom iPod components are available now than ever before. “When the iPod Classic was discontinued, the availability of custom parts was a shell of what it is now … you could really only get batteries and real Apple parts,” says Austin Lucas, a trusted iPod part supplier. “2020 was when the purple, green, and blue faceplates came out for the sixth- and seventh-gen iPods, and then that fall the rainbow, blue, and purple backs came out. That added a little freshness and excitement … people would log on and they’d see a green iPod. Woah! When was that possible?”

  3. Did…did you make up fake artists/songs to avoid a comment section full of jokes about bad music taste?
