There was no formal ceremony, there was not announcement to mark the retirement, but Apple has finally bid their goodbye to the iPod Classic, after seven years it was introduced in the market since Walkman went obsolete.

Once-revolutionary design, Tech aficionados, was among the first to take note of the Classice version as it swiftly disappeared in the webpage. Music lovers, who stored their favorite music in the 160 GB gadget, that could carry 40,000 songs in their pouch and pocket, seemed to be sad at Apple's decision on Tuesday, after the new Smartwatch launch. In 2001, the first iPod was introduced to the market.

The Crane Wife author, Patrick Ness, posted on Twitter, "Apple introduced a phone with the same crappy battery, a wristwatch no one wants and killed the iPod Classic. Why do you like them again?"

From Mashable, Senior Tech Analyst, Christina Warren said, "The iPod classic is finally dead. RIP little iPod. You remade Apple, changed the way we listen to music, and are one of my top five gadgets."

"Goodnight, sweet click-wheel," The simple message of the internet magazine, Pitchfork.

Although, no on ever notices, the Chief Executive Officer of Apple, Tim Cook, gave respect to the device by paying tribute furing the Apple Watch launch on Tuesday, "It turns out, with every revolutionary product that Apple has created, a breakthrough in user-interface was required," he said. "With the Mac, we introduced the mouse. The click-wheel on the iPod. And with iPhone, multi-touch gave us the ability to interact with a beautiful canvas of photos or video or music."

The last Apple device that used the click-wheel was iPod Classic, first on the iPod Mini, introduced in 2004. The feature was so simple, changing various buttons that integrated four functional buttons, that became an instant hit.
