Apple Music has a hidden iPod that you can play music on
Apple Music has an Easter egg on its 404 page: a working iPod that appears when you visit a non-existent page, such as music.apple.com/smartphones24. “Page not found,” Apple reports. “Try this instead.”
The Easter egg is only visible in a web browser, not in the Apple Music app. To avoid being redirected to the Apple Music app, hold down the Command key (⌘) while clicking the link on a Mac or MacBook, or tap and hold the link on iOS devices, then tap “Open”.
Apple Music on the iPod Classic
The Click Wheel lets you navigate through the first-generation iPod Classic and listen to 90-second samples of selected songs from artists such as Alicia Keys, Beyoncé, Britney Spears, Coldplay, Daft Punk, Drake, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Fall Out Boy, Foo Fighters, Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson, Panic! At The Disco, U2 and many others.
There’s even an Easter egg within the Easter egg. If you go to “Settings” – “About iPod” on your iPod and hold down the center button of the Click Wheel, you can finally play the classic game Breakout on the screen. Apple co-founders Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs were involved in the development of Breakout at Atari in the 1970s.
These Easter eggs were discovered by Kian and Alex Greenland to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Apple’s announcement of the first iPod. Apple discontinued production of the iPod touch in 2022, thus ending the iPod era.
