On Tuesday, Apple launched the first new iPod after 2015. Even though the iPod may look old-fashioned to some people, but it’s cheaper price and smaller size help Apple to attract different segments of the market that customers who loved to have its premium iPhones. IPhones held up in a sales slump, and Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, said that increases in prices played a role to slow the growth.
