The listing on Urban Outfitters’ website notes that the refurbished 5th-generation iPod is sold out
We don’t know how many units Urban Outfitter had but it is somewhat surprising in this day and age for an MP3 player to generate enough business to sell out. After all, most people now use their smartphone to take their music with them and play it over true wireless stereo earbuds like the AirPods. Overall, the iPod product line was hugely successful for Apple with over 450 million units sold from 2001 to 2022.
It isn’t known whether Retrospekt plans on refurbishing and restoring more 5th-gen iPods or whether it will turn its attention to other iPod models. But seeing as all of the available units on Urban Outfitters were bought, it would seem silly for the company and the retailer not to keep taking advantage of the nostalgia craze that gave consumers the incentive to shell out the money to buy them.
