Wired has published a piece arguing that the iPod remains the perfect gadget, more than two decades after it launched and two years after Apple discontinued it. The article reflects on the device's simplicity, single-purpose design and lasting cultural impact, at a time when smartphones have absorbed the functions of nearly every dedicated gadget.
Why now: Nostalgia for dedicated single-purpose devices is a recurring topic as modern gadgets grow more complex, prompting readers to debate whether the iPod was Apple's best-ever product.
