Transform Your iPhone into an iPod with This New App
Recently, we shared an intriguing tale of a tech enthusiast who successfully connected an original iPod to an M4 MacBook Pro. However, if spending around $100 on various adapters isn’t your thing and you still crave the nostalgic feel of using an iPod, there’s good news: a new application makes that experience possible.
Discovering My Classic-Retro Console App
The app in question is called My Classic-Retro Console. It features a user interface reminiscent of GameBoy games while also providing access to your Music, Podcasts, and Camera applications. Additionally, it includes a Breakout-style game for some added fun. Within its settings menu lies the option for “Device,” which gives users access to the “My Classic” mode—an interface similar to that of traditional iPods allowing seamless navigation through your music library.
Navigating Like It’s 2004
In this iPod mode, users have the chance to personalize their virtual device by selecting different colors: Special (the classic black model with a red click wheel like the U2 edition), Shiny Silver, Dark (black with black click wheel), Standard Black (black with gray click wheel), or Clean White. With these options available, it feels just like stepping back into 2004—though you will have to supply your own wired earphones!
A Small Price for Nostalgia
The My Classic-Retro Console application is affordably priced at just $2.99. Moreover, there’s an option within the app for voluntary donations if you’re inclined to support further development. However, as many users on social media platforms have noted, this app might not remain available indefinitely due to Apple’s history of removing or denying entry for apps that emulate older devices like the iPod. If transforming your smartphone into a nostalgic music device sounds appealing to you—don’t hesitate; downloading it right away might be wise.
