Its the end of an era. Apple introduced the first iPod back in October 2001, when the company was highly depending on its Mac computer system sales and still on unsteady monetary ground.

Now, in 2022, the company is lastly terminating the iPod touch, which will only be readily available in shops “while materials last.” Its the final death knell for the renowned gizmo: Apple dropped the iPod classic in 2014, and both the iPod nano and iPod shuffle were ceased in 2017.
The iPhone, ironically, was what eliminated the iPod, combining MP3 (not to discuss video) playback with cellular networks, WiFi, apps, video cameras and everything else.

Other than the rebranding, the EA Sports FC games may not be greatly different. EA still holds licenses for more than 300 soccer partners and has exclusive agreements with the likes of the Premier League, MLS, La Liga, Bundesliga and Serie A.
