The very first iPod (packing a whopping 5 GB) to enter the fray in a long and successful line of portable MP3 players came out on October, 23, 2001, with iTunes following later in January.

To celebrate the tenth anniversary of the iPod, we take a look at the many iterations of Apple's revolutionary device throughout the past decade.

The iPod is and was a truly revolutionary device when it was released nearly a decade ago. The release of the iPod helped shape Apple into the company it is today and can be directly attributed to the Cupertino-based company’s success — and overall relevance. Additionally, the iPod has almost single-handedly shaped the modern smartphone as we know it and changed the way we purchase and listen to music, media, and more.
