Steve, I don't know if you can read this, but Tim Cook is selling a monitor stand for $999...

To think at some time apples slideshow looked like my 7th grade PowerPoint in 2007

"160 kbps is a very high compression rate of mp3." oh the times

When people didn't clap for every word said

Describe Steve Jobs in one sentence. "It's 2019 and i want to buy an iPod gen 1 because of this video"

Man, we just take his stuff for granted now...

I find it amazing that Steve used comic sans in all of his keynotes

Steve Jobs is one of the best presenters that ever lived

Magical words:"... Holds a thousand songs, and it fits right in my pocket"

Steve jobs can sell anything, he can sell water to a fish if he wants to.

His public speaking and presentation skills are actually just so amazing. I remember watching these back in the early 2000s for every single Apple product. And the way he speaks and presents all the problems and inconveniences with other products and then makes you want it is truly genius. The dude knew how to sell his product.

Only thing sad about this video is that I didn't buy their stock @ $7 bucks/share

No overbearing chorus of applause when he unveils the device? It was just the beginning!

RIP iPod. Thanks for decade of fun and companionship. You will be missed.

Jobs was talking about fast charging 17 years ago. And here we are getting regular charge bricks still shipping with thousand dollar iPhones. 🤦‍♂️

I'm watching this video on my 1987 Casio cassette player

The beginning of everything

Its amazing how much the current design looks like the original despite being 15 years old. The original iPod still looks modern today.

The Beatles were on the phone with their lawyers halfway through this show.

2022 here... Truly mind boggling to see how far we've come.

Not sure if most people realize this... but this Keynote is amazing. The speech/ presentation is what started the world we live in today. No matter if you have a windows phone, droid or iPhone. This is what started it all. Absolutely amazing.

just watching jobs first scene and came here to relate to it :D

He actually knows his market, He knows exactly to whom he should target, He dont confuse his customers he explains everything on point & talks only what the customer wants to hear. Biggest reason of apple’s success

When he said, "it holds FIVE GIGABYTES" and it was like, WHOA thats a lot of memory xD

Apple is not the same without you steve :'(

Here 20 years later 🙌

Chills. straight chills.

a revolutionary moment. todays technology pretty much only upgrading the previous version, almost nothing groundbreaking anymore

This is their first product to get their foot into every household. Amazing how little fanfare there was in his presentation, albeit somewhat expected considering it was their first major 'i' product. Such a different contrast when compared to today's Apple keynotes!

Then: 1000 songs in your pocket Now: 999 dollars on your desk for a screen holder

This laid the groundwork for smart phones. Such a quietly historic video. The leap in tech over the past 20 years is really head-spinning. Never been a Jobs sycophant, but I’m not sure we’re this far without his leadership at Apple during that time. Bought my first iPod in 2006 and was blown away how different and better my music experience was compared to the rest of my life.

Long live the iPod! (2001-2022)

He was the kind of guy who could've sold a steak to a vegan

The cheek of the man to stand in front of that PowerPoint presentation and say, “we’ve got one of the best design teams in the world…”

I love that they don’t reveal the device until the very end, talking it up and announcing all of these innovations before finally revealing that signature Apple design. Also, amazing how commonplace charging and data transfer is so commonplace nowadays but was innovative back when this was released. Apple truly was an incredible company.

Man he could deliver a speech without effort. Love or hate Apple, Steve was unique, the Apple line-up would have been drastically different if her were alive, i bet my iPhone X wouldn’t have a notch.

It is amazing to see a keynote audience so quiet. It's as if they don't quite get it. Completely different to the modern audiences where they have heard rumours and then cheer as Steve confirms them as true :)

Looking back to a time where small numbers made a huge difference. Now we have every song ever made, the best camera, every movie you want combined with a cell phone all in your pocket. Thin as a cigarette and featherlight. What a time to be alive.

I like how he automatically thinks of doubts people might have brings them up and then explains why there is no need to doubt.

Most important moment in recent electronics history. iPod revolutionised the music industry, and then iPhone the smart phone industry.

I'm watching this on my Apple TV via AirPlay on my iPad. Oh, how times have advanced. We miss you, Steve! Thank you for everything.

I never had an iPod but I remember one of my friends had it. It was such a cool device and I still love its design. I wish I had it now.

You can see how he had a polished delivery back then. But, as you watch subsequent presentations, he perfected the art of the product reveal where he learned to really build up the anticipation.

Steve jobs 2001: 80% in one hour Fast charger Elon Musk 2020: 80% charge in half an hour on a Car My how things have changed

20 years later! Im watching it today 😍

The press... "right, no big deal, an MP3 player"... You were WRONG

Steve ALWAYS compared a new product to the competitors. Its a super smart move and he showed you right away how much better the iPod was. He did the same with the iPhone and the iPad. He loved physically showing the product because he was proud of it. Slideshow and a passionate Steve. Amazing showmanship

I still have a 2005 ipod classic engraved with its cable, still working and with a couple of thousand songs that I kept. Amazing how the battery still has power.

Watching this on my iPad Air 2 😄

This is fascinating! The crowd didn't know what to do when he said iPod!!! Wow!!!

I feel like watching a " prehistoric documentary" about dinosaurs. My God... :D

It's funny how thick it looks to me as he's showing how thin it is. That thing is a brick by today's standards

Such a special moment.

That was an amazing presentation. I wish I'd knew Steve more when he was still here with us. This man changed so much of the electronic industry.

Steve was truly a genius. I was so connected to the presentation I wanted to buy one! Steve Jobs is my idol.

Truly the end of an era. Thanks for memories iPod ❤️

This is the beginning of the "Apple Age". The first time I saw it was in the Chip Magazine in 2002 and I was just so blown away, I can still remember that feeling. I was using a Sony Diskman but I always wanted this one. My time came when I finally owned my first iPod in 2009 and its among the happiest moments of my life!! I still feel that iPod is the greatest invention of Apple. Without it there would be no iTunes, iPhone or iPad. This is where it all started.... :)

I love how in all the following Apple rallies there is thunderous applause every time he stops speaking. At this point everyone there was like, "Apple, you are finished, but what you got?"

Really cool charger that ships as apart of the iPod? This is why we love Steve

The delivery, the build up... just perfect!

The way he presented every new product apple has launched is remarkable. I never bought macbook or iphone but after watching him on the stage now i want the macintosh 💕

I never thought I would see comic sans on a professional PowerPoint.

remember when my teacher back in early 2002, brought an ipod to school, he spent half the lesson showing it off and playing music LOL, i will never forget that day.

The only presentation in Comic Sans that works

HE WAS INCREDIBLE AT BEING A VISIONARY, HE SAW THINGS AHEAD

that's a terrible font

6:04 "This is a more advanced battery than we even use in our *PORTABLE* computers" 😂

When Apple used comic sans for their presentations 😂

Today Apple has officially discontinued the last iPod. Many of us grow up with this device and we’ll miss it. Farewell, sweet child, you’ve done well

i’m impressed at Steve’s composure towards everyone not losing their minds at this thing

I am seeing this in 2021 and I am still impressed . Revolutionary in ALL aspects.

An absolute marketing genius. Probably the GOAT of marketing

I was born a couple hours before the ipod was announced. :)

What a genius, in every way of the word. The way he sells it to the public is amazing

I bought my son the first I-Pod. He was so in love with it. It was the perfect fit to our cool green I-Mac computer.

Amazing, incredible, stunning!!!

I can’t believe nobody’s cheering or clapping or freaking out, this was absolutely revolutionary for the time and everyone’s just sitting there staring at Steve

These old keynotes just have a feeling of honesty and realism that I can relate to. Completely different from the behemoth money printing company Apple is now.

this is history...this should not be erased ang forgotten...

I come back every year to these videos to feel how far we have come, those days people cared about a 1000 songs in pocket now we have the world in our pocket still watching this feels so personal like I'm watching my life back in time the nostalgia the simpler times when cd player was a big deal makes me emotional ❤ especially with Steve jobs talking because I don't like Tim Cook at all . If I respect apple that's only because of jobs.

Investment in stocks is a great way to invest your money. The team is constantly checking the market for changes and make sure that you are always informed about the best time to invest. As a result, I have made more money than ever before, and I don't have to manage my portfolio on my own! Invest in stocks, it's worth it!

Watching on my MacBook! Thanks Steve! :D

Can‘t believe they used Comic Sans in the original iPod release keynote

This man is a genius. Can't wait to see what he comes up with next.

This is amazing! Watching this from my IPhone.

Oh man, I totally forgot when Ipod was a thing! Can't even imagine what life was like before then!

watching this on my original iPod miss u Steve.

It amazes me how there are empy seats, like people didn’t know that apple was about to drop the massive bomb and some one was like “meh i dont want to go to that apple presentation, maybe later” haha

I am studying this man for my product launch. Steve was really amazing

2019: Entire Universe in Pocket...😍

I remember the forums when this came out: “why the hell is Apple making a KIDS TOY?” “It’s a gimmick” “They should stick to the Mac” and look, it changed the world. It changed music, personal computing, now our whole world right in our pocket.

I was 15, and I bought a gen 1 IPod on release. It was an amazing device, truly beautiful thing. I wish I never bought it though - I wish I had spent the money on Apple shares….no one realised quite where Apple was going. Amazing times! I love this era.

The launch price of the first iPod was 399 USD on Nov 10, 2001. If you had put this 399 USD into Apple stock on the very same day, you now would have 257,000 USD. Mind boggling.

This man created one of the worlds most largest music consuming devices in history. I wish I had the same gift as his brilliant mind.

I’ve still got that original scroll wheel iPod sliding around a drawer somewhere. Was an amazing device 20 years ago!

bro talked for 8 minutes straight without showing the ipod and i never even felt like skipping to when he shows it. thats what you call a good speaker

Damn we miss this man! One of a kind dude!

I remember being 8 when the first iPod came out and thinking that was the coolest, smallest thing ever. When my dad told me you could fit about 300 songs on there, I thought, "Do you even need those many songs?" Lo and behold, 10 years later, I have an iPhone 4 32GB, Macbook air, 8GB iPod, and a little shuffle for my lite days. Thank you, Steve. Bless you. I've taken my Apple products for granted and I probably always will. Nonetheless, I can't imagine my life without your innovations. Peace!

I've still got one of those first iPod's - and it still works, or at least, the last time I "booted" it up, 8 years ago, it did 😄 I would imagine the battery is now well and truly dead though.

It’s 2023 and I want to buy this!
