Today is the iPod ’s 15th birthday , her Quiñceanera if you will . While some tech blogs celebrated — the International Business Times even mint itNational iPod Day — the most important people come out to have forgotten : Apple , the iPod ’s own daddy . No press release . No tweet from the Apple prescribed account , or Apple Music or Apple Support . No tweet from Tim Cook . Steve Jobs is too interfering either hanging with the tech angels in future heaven to point out , or entrance in a circle of inferno where the fires are fueled by Galaxy Note 7s , weeping for his sweet iPod .
