Apple isn&#8217;t manufacturing new models, but used iPods in good condition are selling on marketplaces like eBay despite their limitations. The original iPod can&#8217;t connect to streaming services, and you need to transfer tracks to the music player for offline listening.<\/p>\n<p>Older users may be aware of Apple&#8217;s &#8220;1,000 songs in your pocket&#8221; tagline that the company used for the original iPod in 2001, a way to show how generous that 5 GB capacity was compared to alternative MP3 players, but younger iPod owners may worry that&#8217;s not enough for all their favorite music today, when the base iPhone 17 model comes with 256 GB of storage. If you were wondering how many original iPods you&#8217;d need to match the cheapest iPhone 17, the math is really simple. You&#8217;d need <strong>51.2 iPods<\/strong> to get 256 GB of storage space for music.<\/p>\n<p>Apple also launched a 10 GB iPod in the spring of 2002, advertising it as a music player that allowed users to store 2,000 songs. You&#8217;d need 25.6 units to reach the iPhone 17&#8217;s 256 GB storage capacity. The iPhone 17 also comes in a 512 GB version, while iPhone 17 Pro models go up to 1 TB and 2 TB in storage capacity, depending on the model.<\/p>\n<p>In the years that followed the original iPod&#8217;s release, Apple launched other iPod models featuring various storage capacities.
