iPod Socks were a set of multi-colored cotton knit socks introduced by Apple Computer in November 2004 for the protection of iPods from travel damage.[1]
History
The socks were jokingly presented by Apple CEO Steve Jobs as a "revolutionary new product" at an special music event held on October 26, 2004. They were available in a package of 6 different colors.[2]
Discontinuation
Apple stopped selling the socks sometime in September 2012.[3]
