I think the best example is the PlayStation 2 being discontinued in 2013, as well the PlayStation 1 in 2006

The iPod was discontinued in 2022. I'm guessing there's already a lot of kids who have no idea where the term "podcast" comes from.

The Famicom Disk System, which uses a kind of floppy disk for the Japanese market NES, had kiosks where you could copy games onto disks. The last of those kiosks were removed in 2003 It overlapped the Game Cube.

Is the iTouch still around? I remember my beige got one and it was essentially an iPhone without sim card.

Adult content could still be accessed, so Apple were to bring out the iTouch kids.

Never happened. :/

Apple never made a product called iTouch. You're thinking of a product called "iPod Touch". It was the touchscreen version of the iPod (without the iconic clickwheel). The first one was essentially a slimmer iPhone 3G without a cellular modem.

I worked in an electronics repair store just after they came out. We replaced hundreds of broken screens on them. The sheer number of people who called them "iTouch" was surprising, considering Apple never called it that.
