I really miss Steve giving the keynotes. He had a certain flair, and would talk to the audience like he was showing his friends a great new gadget, rather than do a list of specs like they do now.
So true…. When Steve passed, you could clearly tell that there was a certain magic that was lost. Sure, his legacy is embedded into the company - but he was the heart and soul and didn’t just make Apple a company full of numbers and specs but brought life into the corporation. By the time I was actually interested in Apple, Jobs was already gone - and now I find myself watching more and more old keynotes, events, product introductions that HE did over any of the recent of events that Apple has compiled in recent years. I wish I was more into technology when I was younger so I could appreciate all of this as it happened. Nowadays I take for granted all the music that simply streams from my iPhone not thinking that in the past it was CD players, MP3 players, Walkmans with only a handful of songs or the thrill of listening to the radio when your favorite song comes on. The world wanted it now and they got it now. And that’s not something that we shouldn’t be grateful for but, again, you get the feeling that there’s no magic to it anymore and Steve was *one of* the pioneers who made it happen.
Apple cannot operate in the same manner it did back then. Their production quality and professionalism has increased tremendously because the brand is established now. I still really love their keynotes especially how they add an infographic of list of features towards the end
And the majority of those critics panned it as a bad product that was too expensive, for the first couple days. The reception was lukewarm at best. But Apple was smart: They gave everyone who attended a free iPod to take with them, and after using it for a few days, most of them changed their view on the product to strongly recommending it.
Same, watching on my 14 pro max with my airpod pros with my apple watch on my wrist which can play all my apple music and spotify music without even needing my phone… crazy how far we’ve come.
I lost my iPod that was a gift from an uncle living in USA. My dad couldnt buy me one in Mexico it was sad. Then I was able to buy iPod nano with my savings. Now watching these videos trying to buy an ipod classic 5.5 with bluetooth.
I agree, I DO love my iPhone, however there's a time to use it and a time to not touch it... notice how everyone is paying attention to Steve and NOT looking at their phones?
u know? the most difficult problem of computing science in 1980s, was " how to use computers to display and input Chinese Characters?" still now Chinese computer(cellphone ipad)users need to "change input method" before typing.
Love it when he talks about Japanese language characters being enabled and playing international Japanese music they pan to the asian in the room hahahaha
Back before this event, the world had no idea how Apple would shape the world. Now here we are, commenting on these videos, most likely on our iPhones and MacBooks
The way this person delivered his speeches, still gives me goosebumps, carefully crafted presentations and flawless speaking, he knew the art of wooing ppl with his choice of words 👏
Simple is difficult. Offering one product, in one color, in one spec, with effectively one button was a lesson in genius and a discipline that seems forgotten by all manufacturers since Steve's sad passing.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ok, I'm better now. One color/one spec is literally the world that Apple railed against with the "1984" ad. People like the FREEDOM to CHOOSE, while AppleDrones, much like the mindless slaves in the "1984" ad all dress alike, and use the same devices, exactly the same way... The way Apple tells them to.
Steve Jobs combined being casual and professional at the same time on stage like nobody else can. You don't learn that, you are just born with that. He had the look, the voice, the mannerisms, knew how to pace, no language fillers (uum, aah), and when he used one on a rare occasion because of his voice, they did not sound distracting. Masterful presentations.
Yeah. I’ve heard about the insane amount of work that went into these presentations. With that in mind, it really is incredible how effortless he made it all look. It’s like he’s just casually demoing stuff to his friends here!
@@aymanfaris6782 its because steve really focused on simplicity. We live in a world that is complicated because its easier to be complicated. To distill simple insights is the beauty.
@@Toecuttr bitch, please. You don’t necessarily have to be born with it. What you’re talking about is charisma, which can be acquired if you put in the work, just like anything else.
the only thing I manage to transfer more files a bit faster with my first mp3 player usb 1.1 was using Fraunhofer IIS codec by lowering the size using 64kbps and was kinda hard to distinguish its quality for my teenager ears back then not to mention I didn't had a quality headphone to begin with.
The iPod and OSX was what brought me back to Apple in 2005 after having abandoned them for PCs around 1989. Still using them to this day. Never looked back.
Same. I bought mac after college in 92. I then bought the in 96 Mac which shipped with Dos and it was a total lemon at over $3,000. I did not buy another Apple product til 2015 when I got 5k iMac to use iMovie and Final Cut. Like above, I have not looked back.
People under 30 don’t realize how revolutionary this was back in the day. The whole reason we have phones and media consumption, streaming, etc in our pockets is because of this one product
uhhh. walkman? cybiko? cmon man stop acting like apple creates new things. they take other people's good ideas and redesign them. design is their biggest strength, not invention.
@bankruptsee You must be under 30... If you said this about the iPhone, then you'd look less silly. I spent years with a Nokia in my left pocket and an iPod in my right pocket... The iPhone changed this, and the iPhone 5 (4G) finally opened up streaming.
@mr.jellyfish5544 This maketh no sense... Cassette tape was only one method of media consumption, and has nothing to do telecommunications. Almost everyone with an iPhone would give it up if the phone stopped working, or they had no means of sending/receiving messages and emails. Software birthed the iPhone and shaped the hardware... Walkman claiming the iPhone is like Filofax claiming the iPhone.
I remember that player. It was a chunky S.O.B. I do remember being impressed with the Rio while knowing it was a little cumbersome. But it was a good stepping stone product.
I know we have some amazing tech now, but if you see the newest phone released, it's still a touchscreen phone. At the end of the 90s and early 2000s, it was really exciting and fun to watch new things like this come out. They were totally new and exciting, and Apple was the leader in making people feel that way.
Apple was not the first with a touchscreen phone, was not the first "smartphone', was not the first with a "portable" music player, so... Not sure what you mean by "leader"?
2000-2004 was such an amazing time to be an Apple user…. Max osX would BLOW people’s minds. The first time I saw my friend use a Sony Ericsson phone to control his Mac using g ‘Bluetooth’ I thought I had seen alien tech!
"I'm gonna put 100 songs in your pocket. 1000 songs. 500 songs, somewhere between 100 and 1000 songs. Right in your pocket. Because I can't stand looking at that ridiculous Walkman anymore."
Steve dreamed about many things but the first step to his unique world of innovation is the iPod... i watched a documentary about him and in that film a friend of Steve said that once in the 80s he talked about a device connects people together with a big interface and this device show all the things that matters to that person.. in other words iPad !
I like the way Steve took it so lightly in the beginning saying "hey we are doing an music player called iPod". Then with all those people like Smash Mouth and Seal coming and saying how great iPod is, it became immediately clear how BIG the deal iPod was. When it is over, Steve left people in awe sitting there and couldn't believe what they just saw, which was a historical product that led to iPhone and iPad and the whole world was changed right there...
Saying the iPod was "historical" is rather ridiculous. There were already comparable products on the market in 1999 like the Personal Jukebox. The iPod was just looking cooler and it had the better interface. But that's all.
@X1SLE in 2001 that cellphone would cost you like 20k, be grateful for this prices. We get accustom to this type of tech but we shouldn’t take it for granted is ridiculously advanced, aesthetically pleasing and the price is a little more than $1.000. If you want cheap stuff Just wait a year and it will soon be 30% cheaper.
Had to check this out, after I heard Apple was discontinuing the iPod. The iPod really changed the way we listened to music. You gotta remember this was back when you had to burn CDs and play music on a Discman and of course if you didn't have an anti-skip feature it was a real pain.
What I find crazy is with the new apple vision I can actually see a point in time that the iPhone someday feels like a legacy product just as the iPod does now
Amazing how technological evolution has taken us. I’ve briefly lived the life of carrying around a clunky CD player with an album full of CDs. Can’t believe that’s just how it was and not once thinking it wasn’t practical.
Yeah people can hate on him all they want but really catapulted Apple into the big leagues and you can tell he loved his job. Great humor and very entertaining to hear him talk during his keynotes.
Compare this to the iPhone and the Macintosh announcement and how they were so boisterous and how the iPod announcement was very subtle and quiet. Interesting.
Japanese guy enthusiasm is contagious! I love my 6th Gen iPod!!! By the way, I remember when I first got it, it became a nightmare to organize all of my music, because of ID3 Tag info, but once I learned how to edit it with iTunes the whole thing made sense
iPod was amazing! I never enjoyed using a mp3 player as much as I did using my Black Nano gen3 8gb. It was more than just a mp3 player, it was aesthetically very pleasing, great functionality, fun to use and it held 8gb of my fav music!!!
That was their old on campus theater. Before they built the kinda gaudy “Steve Jobs Theater” this is where a lot of big announcements happened. Truthfully, I kinda prefer the old set up. Way more personal.
Now in 2024 I have a 128 gb phone with a 3200x1440 pixel amoled screen, hundreds of times the prepossessing power, 4 optically stabilized cameras that can shoot up to 8K video, and with a host of sensors such as lidar, barometer, and magnetometer, and I only payed $275 for this gizmo. Thanks Steve!
I miss using the click wheel. :( I wish just for the hell of it, Apple would include a digital click wheel on the iPhone/touch just for nostalgia purposes xD
At the time I wanted a iPod but in Brazil it was too expensive. In 10 years I had four average mp3 players that broke easily. Finally I bought an iPod Nano in 2011 which I still use it a lot. It's perfect!
I had the first gen iPod in 2002 and it was truly amazing. Being able to download a whole George Carlin album over night and listening to it on the train to work the next day really felt like the future.
This announcement is historic, not because of the significance of the iPod itself, but because virtually no one could understand why Apple would design and sell a music player - something that was completely at odds with their product line-up. It turned out to be one of the greatest ‘halo’ effects ever, and set the tone for Apple becoming a lifestyle rather than computer brand.
@@jeff4362 I think 2010 is when the iPhone truly did take over. But the iPod was different because people had no basis on why the iPod would succeed. It was clear the iphone would at least succeed because they had the basis of the iPod beforehand. The iPod was truly a "come out of nowhere" hit.
Apple presentations were much better when they were in front of an audience. Their post-pandemic style WWDCs are anemic in comparison. There’s something about a speaker making an audience go Wow or laugh that is completely infectious and that’s gone from Apple these days.
Shocking that Sony even gave Apple a chance in this field. Shows how short-sighted Sony was with this stuff. Their ATRAC players were useless when everyone had hard drives full of MP3s. I remember them launching a store with only Sony artists, and one song was £1.25, and delivered in ATRAC only. Fail.
Sony couldn't adapt to the software era. In fact, Japan period couldn't. It's why Japan is completely irrelevant in electronics now. They were an engineering culture when the world was turning to software (Apple solved this problem with iTunes).
Same thing with sony smartphones today. They have the technology to outclass apple in every field, better displays, better cameras, better sound, the list goes on, yet Sony insists on spending their company resources into other projects that never do very well. Their mobile division, most people have never even heard of, yet here they are selling phones with 4k oled HDR displays at 120hz, and camera tech that outclasses even apple's most advanced iphone 13. Why? because They've never done a single advertisement for them, and beyond that, they're too short sighted as you said, too push their product out. It's a total disappointment, because in genuine reality, they can be a massive success in the states and in europe if they tried just a little bit harder, and invested a little bit more money into it.
I remember that day, when I saw the white head phones, I was like... no way... but we know now, it was Genius move. Even today after 24 years, we still think of the white headphones as apple.
It’s actually really funny how short a lifespan the mp3 revolution actually was. From 2001 to 2007. That was it. Sure iPods hung on for a few more years but it’s amazing how quickly we moved on from the dedicated music player.
@@drinkingpoolwater But you can't do so many other things... By the way, everything you can do on an iPhone you can also do on any other smartphone. Just saying.
He sure was and he will continue to inspire. More than ever Apple and companies who are trying to model themselves after what Steve built must always put their passion first. If you are all about the money, than don't look to Apple, there are far easier ways to make money. But if you are about doing something great, look no further.
Ive watched this many times in various times in my life. Im just happy we exist in the universe where all this worked out for Steve Jobs. What does this world look like without Steve Jobs! Incredible how this device plus his engineering with the Macs of the time led to the creation of the iPhone. The most popular technology on the planet by far.
I really miss Steve giving the keynotes. He had a certain flair, and would talk to the audience like he was showing his friends a great new gadget, rather than do a list of specs like they do now.

Amazing how technological evolution has taken us. I’ve briefly lived the life of carrying around a clunky CD player with an album full of CDs. Can’t believe that’s just how it was and not once thinking it wasn’t practical.
these video materials are golden
Yeah people can hate on him all they want but really catapulted Apple into the big leagues and you can tell he loved his job. Great humor and very entertaining to hear him talk during his keynotes.
And now this baby is at least 23 years old. :P Time flies!
Technology wouldn't have come this far if it wasn't for you. Hats off....you'll always be remembered!
I was 9 when it launched and i was still listening music with Cassette and CD
That first iPod was worth every penny.
Compare this to the iPhone and the Macintosh announcement and how they were so boisterous and how the iPod announcement was very subtle and quiet. Interesting.
Yeah that's very true, I still think iPod was actually more revolutionary IMHO and yet a subtle keynote
Because the company was almost bankrupt. You think Steve wouldn’t have rather launched this in a giant auditorium?!
I think it was subtle and quiet because it was a month after 9/11. At that particular time, I don't think a flashy event would have gone over well.
2024 - Still miss you Steve Jobs. With love a fan
Very refreshing to see how calm the audience was back in 2001 :-)...
Japanese guy enthusiasm is contagious! I love my 6th Gen iPod!!! By the way, I remember when I first got it, it became a nightmare to organize all of my music, because of ID3 Tag info, but once I learned how to edit it with iTunes the whole thing made sense
My iPod 5 GB still works after 20 years!
iPod was amazing! I never enjoyed using a mp3 player as much as I did using my Black Nano gen3 8gb. It was more than just a mp3 player, it was aesthetically very pleasing, great functionality, fun to use and it held 8gb of my fav music!!!
Nah my Sony Walkman was better, not into compressed music with have the data gone.
Such a tiny auditorium! It's incredible how much Apple has grown over the past dozen years. And it was the iPod that started that explosive growth.
That was their old on campus theater. Before they built the kinda gaudy “Steve Jobs Theater” this is where a lot of big announcements happened. Truthfully, I kinda prefer the old set up. Way more personal.
I love how they zoom in on the asian guys when he talks about japanese.
glad to know that Steve Jobs had Utada Hikaru ((宇多田 ヒカル) songs on his ipod :D
"Had"
Carlo Sebastian Campos-Alvarez thx for correcting
I came here after hearing the news that Apple is discontinuing the iPod after 20 years with the last surviving iPod Touch.
R.I.P.
iPod
(2001-2022)
Now in 2024 I have a 128 gb phone with a 3200x1440 pixel amoled screen, hundreds of times the prepossessing power, 4 optically stabilized cameras that can shoot up to 8K video, and with a host of sensors such as lidar, barometer, and magnetometer, and I only payed $275 for this gizmo. Thanks Steve!
46:27 'everyone is going to have one of these' ... They do now!
I miss using the click wheel. :( I wish just for the hell of it, Apple would include a digital click wheel on the iPhone/touch just for nostalgia purposes xD
At the time I wanted a iPod but in Brazil it was too expensive. In 10 years I had four average mp3 players that broke easily. Finally I bought an iPod Nano in 2011 which I still use it a lot. It's perfect!
25:55 I'm sure he was there earlier in the video, but wow, seeing Tim Cook also looking in awe like the rest of us people.
I had the first gen iPod in 2002 and it was truly amazing. Being able to download a whole George Carlin album over night and listening to it on the train to work the next day really felt like the future.
This announcement is historic, not because of the significance of the iPod itself, but because virtually no one could understand why Apple would design and sell a music player - something that was completely at odds with their product line-up. It turned out to be one of the greatest ‘halo’ effects ever, and set the tone for Apple becoming a lifestyle rather than computer brand.
Those nerds had no idea they were in the midst of a revolution except Steve and that’s why he’s a genius
Steve didn't know either. It wasn't til 2003 til they realized just how huge the iPod would be.
@@McDonaldsDude Just as iPhone, it wasn't till 2010 when the world realized it was huge
@@jeff4362 I think 2010 is when the iPhone truly did take over. But the iPod was different because people had no basis on why the iPod would succeed. It was clear the iphone would at least succeed because they had the basis of the iPod beforehand.
The iPod was truly a "come out of nowhere" hit.
@@McDonaldsDude Defo agreed
Ridiculous. He didn't know and he was far from being a genius. Steve Wozniak was a genius. Right, the guy that was betrayed by Jobs.
Apple presentations were much better when they were in front of an audience. Their post-pandemic style WWDCs are anemic in comparison. There’s something about a speaker making an audience go Wow or laugh that is completely infectious and that’s gone from Apple these days.
Man, the nostalgia!!! Simpler more exciting times!
Shocking that Sony even gave Apple a chance in this field.
Shows how short-sighted Sony was with this stuff. Their ATRAC players were useless when everyone had hard drives full of MP3s.
I remember them launching a store with only Sony artists, and one song was £1.25, and delivered in ATRAC only. Fail.
Sony couldn't adapt to the software era. In fact, Japan period couldn't. It's why Japan is completely irrelevant in electronics now. They were an engineering culture when the world was turning to software (Apple solved this problem with iTunes).
Same thing with sony smartphones today. They have the technology to outclass apple in every field, better displays, better cameras, better sound, the list goes on, yet Sony insists on spending their company resources into other projects that never do very well. Their mobile division, most people have never even heard of, yet here they are selling phones with 4k oled HDR displays at 120hz, and camera tech that outclasses even apple's most advanced iphone 13. Why? because They've never done a single advertisement for them, and beyond that, they're too short sighted as you said, too push their product out. It's a total disappointment, because in genuine reality, they can be a massive success in the states and in europe if they tried just a little bit harder, and invested a little bit more money into it.
Sony was still doing minidisc
@@jlouis4407 Minidisc was pretty cool, actually. I had one of these players and I really liked it.
Miss Steve talking to me it’s like your best friend showing you stuff ❤
iPod is 10 years and 3 days old....
This keynote was the start of changing our lives..........
20 years
@@billyidolrockstar52222 years .😂 someone got to pass the baton
FireWire is still the standard of most recording studios, worldwide..
Can't wait to see, when Thunderbolt kicks in!
I remember that day, when I saw the white head phones, I was like... no way... but we know now, it was Genius move. Even today after 24 years, we still think of the white headphones as apple.
It’s actually really funny how short a lifespan the mp3 revolution actually was. From 2001 to 2007. That was it. Sure iPods hung on for a few more years but it’s amazing how quickly we moved on from the dedicated music player.
i feel the same way about computers now. the iphone replaced everything in my opinion. you can even create and edit movies on an iphone now.
@@drinkingpoolwater But you can't do so many other things...
By the way, everything you can do on an iPhone you can also do on any other smartphone. Just saying.
What do you think streaming services are playing
Happy anniversary to the iPod….how far we’ve come
I was born in that year, and I've never seen an ipod in real life.
Steve jobs: im gonna make apple so that u cant live without it
2020: *yes,yes indeed*
He sure was and he will continue to inspire. More than ever Apple and companies who are trying to model themselves after what Steve built must always put their passion first. If you are all about the money, than don't look to Apple, there are far easier ways to make money. But if you are about doing something great, look no further.
Ive watched this many times in various times in my life. Im just happy we exist in the universe where all this worked out for Steve Jobs. What does this world look like without Steve Jobs! Incredible how this device plus his engineering with the Macs of the time led to the creation of the iPhone. The most popular technology on the planet by far.
Wow! A true breakthrough compared to today’s Apple keynotes. The iPod UI was another level at the time.
14:45 - What is iPod?
21:00
I think this was Apple’s biggest breakthrough product, which made them a household name.
32:03 HOLY SHIT THE TENTH DOCOR witnessed the first iPod unveiling
What a product. I should get one.
