The app that converts iPhone to iPod has been removed from the App Store
Retro Pod, which transformed the iPhone interface into iPod, went viral on social media in December and January. However, the Retro Pod has reportedly been removed from the App Store. Although the reason for the application’s closure is not clear yet, it is not difficult to guess. Apple has strict policies against apps that copy their products.
It is possible to say that the Retro Pod is quite successful. According to analytics firm Sensor Tower, the app reached nearly 500,000 downloads on iOS, including 275,000 in the first week of January. It reached number 11 among music apps in the US before being removed by January 8.
Apple changed its mind: MacBook with touchscreen is coming!
It turned out that technology giant Apple is working on a touchscreen MacBook! Here are the details…
Applications that brought the iPod back to the fore from time to time appeared in the App Store. For example, the iClassic was launched in 2009. In 2019, a different retropod application was released on Android, and the website iPod.js was also launched as an iPod.
Although the tech world still sees the iPod as a popular device, for Apple it is nothing more than a nostalgic device. Apple, with its strict policies, indicates that the iPod cannot come back with an iOS app. Unless Apple decides to release such an application, it is unlikely that a real iPhone-iPod application will survive.
It should be noted that neither the developer of the Retro Pod nor Apple has made a statement on the subject.
