Trivia

• The iPod mini was presented at the MacWorld Expo in January 2004 and represented a revolution in the design of portable music players, available in five different colors: silver, gold, blue, pink, and green. • Despite its reduced size compared to other models, the iPod mini offered a memory capacity of 4 GB, sufficient to hold approximately 1,000 songs in the standard audio format of the time. • The launch price in the United States was $249, a figure that positioned it as a premium but mass-market accessible product, contributing to the great commercial success of the device.
